FX-8350 vs. Core i5-3470 CPU Review

Far Cry 2

Released in 2008, Far Cry 2 is based on a game engine called Dunia, which is DirectX 10. We used the benchmarking utility that comes with this game at 1920×1080, configuring “Overall Quality” to “High” (which is the minimum value for this setting), disabling anti-aliasing, and running the “Ranch Long” demo three times. When benchmarking CPUs, we need to lower the image quality settings in order to get a very high number of frames per second; othe
rwise, we will be benchmarking the video card. The results below are expressed in frames per second and are an arithmetic average of the three results collected.

All CPUs achieved the same performance level here, except for the Phenom II X6 1100T, which was 3.3% slower than the FX-8350.
