Open-world gaming at its very best, Far Cry 3 redefines the genre through breathtaking visuals and first-class gameplay.
Far Cry 3 is another title that truly challenges high-end hardware, and for once the tables are turned, with the R9 295X2 nipping ahead of the Devil 13. Core-speed advantage is the likely reason, but a closer look at our log files reveals another: the PowerColor card had started to throttle at this point in our benchmarks. The card should be running consistently at 1,000MHz, but as temperatures rose we found it throttling to around the 950MHz mark.
Performance is still impressive, mind, with PowerColor's card continuing to deliver the vast majority of frames in a timely manner.
Comparing the Radeon HD 7990 to the R9 290X Dual Core Devil 13 shows how far dual-GPU solutions have come with regards to frame pacing.
