Just as we were beginning to focus on Half-Life 2, Crytek delivers the highly anticipated 1.3 patch for Far Cry. This new patch adds official support for the 2.0b shaders supported by ATI's X700/X800, and shader model 3.0, which is found in all GeForce 6 cards. But that's not all, Crytek has also thrown in normal map compression and HDR! In this article we've rounded up ATI's latest X800 cards, the X800 PRO, X800 XT AGP, and X800 XT PE, and paired them against the latest and greatest from NVIDIA: GeForce 6800 128, GeForce 6800 GT, and 6800 Ultra. See which cards come out on top, and check out the HDR screenshots and performance all inside!
