After the humiliating defeat in Tom 2D we shall now see if Abit KV7 with VIA KT600 can redeem itself in games!
The first game is one of my favorites: Far cry 1 from 2004! All 3 resolutions are tested using max settings including AA because geforce 7800gs is more than capable of handling it. This is mostly a CPU bound game therefore this is a good test to see if the platform is limiting the CPU performance. I used HardwareOC bench tool to provide accurate and repeatable testing conditions. Because the results are in HTML format I do not have screen shots saved but I will put all of them in one archive for anyone interested.
