A week ago we published some results showing the 6800 Ultra running the default DirectX path which removes the Nvidia specific optimisations from the game and also improves the image quality by increasing the use of pixel shader 2.0. Additionally the default DirectX 9 path fixes the flickering textures and other graphical glitches experienced at the default settings for the 6800 Ultra Included in the next graph are the 6800 Ultra results to show how they compare to the X800 (which runs the normal directX path – i.e. full quality by default).
In Farcry the results show the 6800Ultra and X800 pro as reasonably well matched. Not much separates them without AA/AF when the 6800 Ultra is running the lower quality Nvidia path. When running the default directX9 path the 6800 ultra does however fall behind the X800 Pro – especially in minimum fps. Turning on AA/AF and the X800 Pro again shows its strength and remains playable where as the 6800 Ultra has a few big drops to 10fps.
