NVIDIA Far Cry 2 Beta Drivers

NVIDIA now offers another set of beta ForceWare drivers, which are now up to version 180.43, enabling NVIDIA SLI on Intel X58-based motherboards and offering further improvements in Far Cry 2 performance as described in the accompanying quote from Ubisoft's Louis-Pierre Pharand: "Since we first began working on Far Cry 2 in early 2005, we have used GeForce GPU’s to develop the game and worked closely with NVIDIA’s excellent engineers. While Far Cry 2 represents an outstanding PC gaming experience for a wide range of systems, GeForce users can expect to enjoy the game quite literally 'The Way It Was Meant To Be Played'." There are new beta version 180.43 driver for Windows XP 32-bit, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows XP 64-bit, and Windows Vista 64 bit. Thanks Tr0n.

Just having tons of fun driving around, assassinating people, blowing shit up and generally just exploring. Found 53 diamond cases so far.

Setting fire to the savannah with a flamethrower and watching that fire just engulf a guardpost is awesome.

The only downside is the ridiculous respawn rate. It would be better if the protagonist is forced to go to sleep after a certain period of time and that everything respawns while he sleeps.

Right now you'll fight your way through a guardpost, takes ten minutes, drive up the road, kill your target, drive back, and have to kill the same guardpost again. That gets a bit boring after awhile. And in the end, the mission structure is fairly generic. Drive here, kill all the guys, kill special guy or blow up special thing, drive somewhere else.

But the firefights are great fun, I think the AI is pretty good in most areas, excellent in others (though weak when it comes to driving, they always just drive straight at your mounted machinegun...) and it's just fun to drive around and gawk at all the sights.

Great game. And the technology is fucking awesome. No hitches, no stuttering. No load screen ever. Smooth, seamless massive world. I wish Deus Ex 3 would come with such a world on this engine.

I agree. Awesome game. I haven't been able to stop playing it. Even on a machine like mine, it runs pretty damn good on medium settings, and still looks pretty good. I don't have the machine to run it properly, but the game scales pretty damn well. There's a lot of driving involved, but considering how big the game world is, it doesn't really bother me a bit.
