Far Cry 3

Open-world gaming at its very best, Far Cry 3 redefines the genre through breathtaking visuals and first-class gameplay.

Benchmark vagaries are such that Gigabyte's card scored fractionally less than AMD's reference board when playing Far Cry 3 at 1080p. Things get interesting when you crank up resolution, though, as the R9 290X WindForce OC nips ahead of GTX Titan at 2,560x1,440.
