SOLVED: Far Cry 3 Low fps on every setting. Tried everything. GTX 770

[Ream Assturd]

i5 750 @ 3.7 ghz
GTX 770 oc
8 gb Corsair Vengeance
Win 7 64 pro

I have looked everywhere for a solution for the past couple of days. I have set vsync on/off, set postFX to low, then to "false." tried dx11, dx9, windowed, fullscreen, latest drivers, etc. I even set everything on "low" and ran it 800x600 resolution, and I still hover around 25-35 fps. Any ideas? I'm running other games on ultra with great results. Thanks

EDIT: Disabled overclocking/reset to factory settings on my cpu and gpu, now running at 50-60+ fps with everything at highest setting, msaa 4x, vsync off. Thank you all for your suggestions.

I'm running a GTX 650 2 GB and i get maybe 45 fps on mid-high settings at 1920x1080

@OP: What is your FULL System Specs, Including your Motherboard make + model and PowerSupply Wattage???

[Flamnya]

try turning v sync off?
MSAA at 4x, 8x is too high
if all else fails http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience
this app will get you to 60 fps

[NastyNas]

you HAVE to turn off msaa...it is the complete killer

Your Mobo Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 Specs: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3439#sp
As I Suspected your Mobo only has PCIe16x(Gen2.0) and a GTX770 that you bought is PCIe16x(Gen3.1)... Meaning that your Motherboard can't use your GPU to it's fullest thus you won't get anymore performance out that GPU untill you upgrade your Motherboard CPU and Ram. Basicly You have a Big Bottle-neck which is that Motherboard. Time to upgrade hmm?! ...

the difference between 2.0 and 3.0 with a 770 would be basically zero so that has NOTHING to do with it. heck he could drop it down to just 8x on his 2.0 slot and not lose more than a few % if he loses anything at all. probably 90% of people are still using 16x 2.0 slot boards with higher end cards so I cant believe you would think there was a problem with that. plus he would not have to change his ram at all if he did get a new mobo as it would still be DDR3.

You obviously know nothing about Motherboard design and PCIE intrgation. Also note that his mobo is the 1st Gen of PCIe(Gen2.0) which means BIG A55 BOTTLE-NECK!!!
Edit: here's his chipset from 2009 Intel® P55 Express Chipset: http://ark.intel.com/products/42690/intel-bd82p55-pch
Thats one slow chipset...
Just because you buy a brand new shiny GPU doesn't mean it will work properly on a 5-7yr old PC even though that pc has the slot for it! ...

You obviously know nothing about Mothboard design and PCIE intrgation. Also note that his mobo is the 1st Gen of PCIe(Gen2.0) which still uses North and south bridges. So NO HTLINK/PCH... which means BIG A55 BOTTLE-NECK!!!

sorry but you have no idea what you are talking about if you think a 770 would be held back in any meaningful way on his board. it is ignorant to think he is limited to 25-35 fps on low settings at 800x600 because of his 2.0 slot.

Reread my previous post as it was altered.

Also Instead of fighting..... What do you think it is?

not sure or I would help more. now those old boards did sometimes have conflict in general with newer cards. if his other games are performing normally though then that cant be it.

Yes But FC3 is a Highly Demanding game... Which is why so many people are having issues with it and why I have a pinned thread on fixing it.
