To benchmark FarCry, I used HardwareOC FarCry Benchmark v1.5 on FarCry v1.33. For the HardwareOC
Benchmark application, I set HDR Level 7 enabled, and set Shader Model to 3.0. FarCry Maximum
Details were used, which resulted in the following settings:

The Regulator demo was used. The following charts show the benchmark results.

Regulator Overclocked
Overclocking nets the user a 5% increase in fps at 1024x768 and an 8% increase at 1600x1200
using 4AA/16AF with gamma correct and supersampling transparency.
QUAKE 4
To benchmark Quake 4, HardwareOC Quake4 Benchmark v1.1 on Quake4 v1.2 was used. For the HardwareOC Benchmark,
High Quality video settings were used. Specific settings are as follows:

The hwzone_co_id.demo demo that came with the HardwareOC Benchmark application was used. It was very stressful

hwzone_co_id Overclocked
Overclocking nets the user a 20% increase in fps at 1024x768 and a 49% increase at 1600x1200 using 4AA/16AF with
gamma correct and supersampling transparency. These are some amazing numbers for Quake 4.
