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.

Looking at the GeForce GTX 780 Ti numbers in Just Cause 2 reveals a performance drop of 33 per cent when moving from 1,920x1,080 to 2,560x1,440. Make the jump to 4K and framerates are hit hard and reduced by a further 49 per cent.

This 2010 game is the least-demanding title in our suite. Frame buffer usage was measured as up to 1,428MB on both cards, so while memory limitations aren't coming into play, it's interesting to note that the Radeon has the edge in this title.
