About Far Cry 2:
Far Cry 2 is a first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.
Ubisoft has marketed Far Cry 2 as the true sequel to Far Cry, though the sequel has very few noticeable similarities to the original game. Instead, it features completely new characters and setting, as well as a new style of game play that allows the player greater freedom to explore different African landscapes such as deserts, jungles, and savannas. The game takes place in a fictional modern-day Central African nation in a state of anarchy and civil war. The player takes control of a mercenary on a lengthy journey to locate and assassinate "The Jackal," a notorious arms dealer. The game play of Far Cry 2 more closely resembles that of Grand Theft Auto rather than that of the original Far Cry.
To benchmark Far Cry 2, we used the Far Cry 2 Benchmark Tool. We opted for High settings, and used DX10 with a single loop and no AI. The game was tested with three resolutions using no AA, 2xAA, 4xAA, and 8xAA aliasing.

A graphical representation of these results is provided below.
We can see here that game play is acceptable (~30 FPS) in all settings. Our final setting with 1680x1050 using 8XAA is even deemed playable, as 29.37 is still great. This seems to be the best results we've encountered so far, and this game is definitely one of the hottest ones on the market today.
Bottom Line: The Gigabyte 512MB 9800GT can play any resolution on any AA setting quite well.
