Das ist jetzt was wegen dem Shader. Ati hat ja nach wie vor shader 2b und nvidia 3
Far Cry Benchmarks - Shader Model 3.0 performance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My system has the following items installed, which allowed me to develop the table below
- A GeForce 6 Series graphics card
- DirectX 9.0c
- ForceWare 61.45 beta drivers
- Far Cry v1.2 patch
Notes:
- To disable sound, set s_SoundEnable = "0" in the system.cfg file.
- The official v1.2 patch for Far Cry is scheduled to be released Monday.

Thanks go out to Clay and Chris Ray for their efforts in covering this patch
Here are a few tidbits about the updated benchmarking capabilities that are available in the 1.2 patch. Note that benchmark results are normally higher following the first run, which has some overhead associated with loading the Far Cry modules into memory.
The number of runs in a demo can be set with the "#demo_num_runs" variable.
The patch comes with demos from the Regulator, Research, Training, and Volcano maps.
Console Commands:
\r_SM30PATH 1 - enables Shader Model 3.0 path
\r_SM30PATH 0 - disables Shader Model 3.0 path
Note that the changes take effect immediately.
Command Line:
FarCry.exe –DEVMODE "r_SM30Path 1" "#demo_num_runs=1" "#demo_quit=1" "map research" "demo research" "#r_Width=1600" "#r_Height=1200"
This runs the Research demo twice using Shader Model 3.0 at a resolution of 1600x1200. The game exits following the second benchmark. The results are appended to the "research.log" file under the /Levels/Research folder.
Batch Script:
Copy the commands below and save them in the Far Cry root directory (/Far Cry) as a batch file (.bat). Replace "r_sm30path 1" with "r_sm30path 0" to disable the Shader Model 3.0 path.
