There's been huge hype over Far Cry 2 and now it's finally in the shops. But will your GPU able to play it with decent graphics? Crytek has been habits to push computer hardware to it's limits with their games featuring awesome graphics and effect that blow your mind.

There's plenty of Far Cry 2 review all over internet, magazines and TV shows so we keep that chapter short.

Far Cry 2 is just what you can expect to be! Fast first person shooter with awesome graphics and worlds full of realistic sounds. There's not really a single bad thing to say about Far Cry 2 - it's fun, addictive and gives a lot of bang for the buck.

If you are one of those I must have it now, gamers - then there's good news. You can actually buy this game from internet and download it from fast servers and start exploring world of Far Cry 2. You can download it straight from Ubi-shop here.

But if love those fancy boxes like I do, go to Amazon and order it there. Price is sweet too and there's versions to PS3, Xbox 360 and of course to PC.

Ok, but back to topic will you GPU enough to play it?
First I must say that GPU with lovers power I tried this game with was Asus GeForce 8600 Silent with 512mg memory. And surprise! You can get very fancy graphics but it run just nicely with 1024x768 resolution and with lowest or medium details.

Well, everyone can make their own opinions but if I view these images, there's no even small differences. PS3 image looks sharp though, but can be just reason of different image (no big explosion which will shake and blurry head character vision).
