With the AMD Never Settles promotion, I received Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon for free recently. I just downloaded the game finally and decided to give it a try. The game is not quite what I had expected, definitely a strange one with the music choices and characters in play. In the first few minutes of the game, while sneaking past blind dinosaurs with lasers, I used FRAPS to record the minimum, maximum, and average framerates achieved with our 2013 computer build. It is also worth noting that we are using Windows 8 and the latest AMD Catalyst 13.5 beta drivers at the time of this testing.
We are running with an Intel 3770K overclocked to 4.6 GHz, which is paired up with two Gigabyte Windforce Radeon HD 7950 graphics cards for two-way CrossFireX. Both graphics cards are running with 1100 MHz on the core and 5000 MHz on the quad channel memory.
Complete system specifications consist of:
Intel i7 3770K (4.6GHz)Asus Maximus V FormulaG.

This was over a 4 minute FRAPS recorded benchmark.
