Just Cause 2

Homepage: justcause.com | Publisher: Eidos Interactive | Developer: Avalanche Studios

Just Cause 2 is one of the older titles in our suite and uses DX10 visuals. It's no longer cutting edge, but it's still a lot of fun and can be used to cross-reference older reviews.

The roles are reversed in Just Cause 2, where the slew of R9 290X cards leap ahead of GeForce GTX 780 Ti. Sapphire's Vapor-X is mighty quick, though the somewhat conservative 1,030MHz core clock prevents it from topping the chart. The pricier Vapor-X OC model, at Ā£500 with a 1,080MHz core, would no doubt take first place.
