GeForce 9600GSO Far Cry2版毫无疑问增送了Far Cry2游戏，其规格上最引人注目的是配备有1536MB的超大容量的GDDR2显存，核心上还是用的基于G92的9600GSO，其SP数量为96个，不是只有48个SP的G94核心9600GSO。其它规格为核心频率为584MHz，Shader频率为1450MHz，显存频率为800MHz（1600MHz数据频率），显存位宽192-bit。

　　该显卡的价格还未知，作为入门级的产品应该不会定价很高。

　　下面是具体的改进列表：

Multiplayer - Server's IP address now displays in lobby, beside the match's name (for direct IP join to work) - Dedicated Server can now be launched in command line. - Improved match start conditions. Ranked games can now also start if the player max is attained and everybody but the host is ready. - Fixed a bug causing random crashes when joining a game. - Ranked matches in progress will no longer display in the match list. - Fixed players with same name by using identifiers instead of names. - Fixed crash when creating a LAN game without a network cable. - The diamond pool is now always validated after class upgrades, reset or rank up to avoid getting more diamonds than you are supposed to for your rank. - When creating a dedicated server with PunkBuster enabled, then close it to create another but this time with PunkBuster disabled, PunkBuster will still be considered ON, on this new server. - Fixed a problem where a player could get stuck (and couldn't get killed) after pressing the interaction key while wounded and getting rescued by a teammate at the same time. - Fixed players getting disconnected if they have too many user maps and try to enter the map rotation menu in a Player or Ranked match. - Vehicles will now always respawn even if they are never used. - Fixed users not being able to see a match if the host switched match mode after a rank. - Fixed a glitch that could make a player invisible to another. - Fixed incorrect check for negative values when adjusting diamond count. - Fixed a problem where a player would render through objects if healing a wounded playing while being wounded at the same time. - Fixed reload not being interrupted on the host when a client picks a weapon while reloading. - Fixed Field Manuals not unlocking after game mode change.

　　用宽屏或者多屏玩Far Cry 2的朋友一定会感到奇怪，在宽屏的状态下自己的视野不仅没有因为纵向分辨率的提高而加大，反而画面的上下部分都被截去了不少。宽屏的原意是为用户拓展更加宽广的视野，但是Far Cry 2的这种截屏的方法让宽屏玩家感到相当不爽，而且UBI这次的反应速度也相当慢，并推出相应的解决补丁。在这种情况下，宽屏玩家论坛（WSGF）上的Racer_S就放出了一个非官方补丁，修正了这一问题。

　　值得指出的是，UBI这种简单粗暴的“宽屏”方式应该是游戏全平台化的后遗症之一。游戏主要针对主机平台开发，简单截掉了上下画面，而没有增加左右视野，实际上就是为了保持游戏在家用机平台上不会因为4:3变成16:9而导致帧数下降到不能玩的境地——毕竟PS3上的RSX（7900）芯片和Xbox 360上的R500都是前一代的古老GPU了。在PC单机游戏越来越不起眼的情况下，开发者“忘记”将宽屏分辨率问题改回来实在算不上什么大事。

补丁下载以及效果图比较

　　对于Far Cry 2是否应用到DirectX 10.1特效的问题，在PCGH的专访中了解到：在Far Cry 2中确实应用到了部分DirectX 10.1特效，不过这些特效能够在DirectX 10的显卡上实现。

　　这对于不支持DirectX 10.1的NVIDIA显卡来说确实是一个好消息。日前NVIDIA向渠道透露称：关于Far Cry 2中的DirectX 10.1特性，NVIDIA的显卡也能够实现。首先，该特性是从Multisampled Depth Z-buffer(多重取样深度Z-缓冲)中读取数据，以此实现更好的Anti Aliasing性能的。这需要GPU硬件加速的支持，ATI Radeon支持，GeForce也能够支持。其次，它需要使用软件去识别硬件的这个功能，并且去打开它。在这方面，AMD与NVIDIA采取了不同的方式：ATI Radeon使用DirectX 10.1 API去完成这个动作，而NVIDIA使用DirectX 10中的特定扩展指令集去完成这个动作。

　　另外，NVIDIA还表示将会在Benchmarks测试中取得比对手更好的成绩。Far Cry 2即将要发布了，具体差别我们马上就能够体会到了。

　　最新消息：今天收到育碧公司发出的消息，证实了NVIDIA上面的说法，而且两种方式均能够获得非常好的性能表现。

Cedric答：并非完全如此，我们确实使用了一些特性，这样可以利用DX10硬件获得更好的性能。

Dominic答：事实上我们十分幸运，现有的DX10设备已经支持一些DX10.1功能，尽管DX10.1 API还未发布，不过我们还是利用了这些DX10硬件拥有的功能。
