Benchmarks: Just Cause 2

Using the Just Suit 2 improved-in bench mark we recorded a second of the "Dark Tower" level. Just Cause 2 was not featured in our first turn of testing, so we are non sure how the GeForce GTX 400 performed with previous driver builds.

Nvidia is claiming a nice 25% performance boost with the new GeForce 257.15 genus Beta drivers, so we were expecting best things. Instead we saw the GeForce GTX 480 lagging tail the Radeon HD 5870 with a 14% mediocre systema skeletale rate advantage. The minimum frame result was almost a match however. The GeForce GTX 480 was ~7% quicker than the Radeon HD 5850, while again the GeForce GTX 470 performance was disappointing with an average of just 33fps.

Update (6/5): In our first run of this benchmark we accidentally overlooked two Nvidia-specific settings that are available in Just Cause 2 (Bokeh Filters and GPU Water Simulation). These CUDA features are enabled past default when selecting the 'High' preset and thus impacted performance qualification for an unfair comparison against the ATI Radeon boards.

The graphs above accept been updated to show apples vs. apples comparing, and the difference is very obvious. The GeForce GTX 480 nowadays dominates this game by a convincing tolerance, while the GTX 470 fares much better against the Radeon HD 5850, albeit still losing aside a couple frames per second.
