Far Cry 2 Benchmark Tool. I found Far Cry 2 Benchmark Tool finally. I wanted to benchmark all the 3D games that I have starting with Far Cry 2. Normally, games will have benchmark function after pull down the development console. However, Far Cry 2 skips all the hard ways. Far Cry 2 has its own benchmark tool. It is called FC2BenchmarkTool.exe and located at C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Far Cry 2\bin.
Far Cry 2 Benchmark Tool is easy to use. Just open it and you can start benchmark already. However, the are more settings to select if you want to customize your Far Cry 2 benchmark. Just select Game Setting tab and choose the graphics setting that you want.
After select all the game setting that you want, click on Launch Benchmark to start Far Cry 2 benchmark. By default, Far Cry 2 benchmark will run 3 loops. Then, it will calculate the average out from the 3 loops. Below is the benchmark that I run with ATI HD 4870 512MB.
Settings: Demo(Ranch Small), 1680×1050 (60Hz), D3D10, Fixed Time Step(No), Disable Artificial Intelligence(No), Full Screen, Anti-Aliasing(None), VSync(No), Overall Quality(Ultra High), Vegetation(Very High), Shading(Ultra High), Terrain(Ultra High), Geometry(Ultra High), Post FX(High), Texture(Ultra High), Shadow(Ultra High), Ambient(High), Hdr(Yes), Bloom(Yes), Fire(Very High), Physics(Very High), RealTrees(Very High)
Far Cry 2 benchmark result
Average Framerate: 53.41
Max. Framerate: 76.57
Min. Framerate: 42.26
Besides giving you number result, Far Cry 2 Benchmark Tool also output a nice graph like below.
In short, Far Cry 2 Benchmark Tool is a great tool to help you on setting the correct 3D display setting of your 3D card. Try to get Average Framerate above 60 fps to achieve best games play. 🙂
