Replaying Far Cry 4 @ 4k

[BodyPolitic]

So I played and enjoyed this game a year ago, beat it and forgot it for a while. I've decided to go back to this and other slightly older games to have another go round now that graphics technolog y has matured ( or at least come down in price some!) and have to say replaying it, this game is really beautifull, esp the shan gri la sequences. w/ the cost of gpu's and panels dropping, it may be a good time to take a look at this game again in either 2k (1440p) or 4K to see how nice it can really look.

I'm not sure if they are using 2k 4k or 8k textures but are def higher than 1080p so if you do up the res you will be treated to extra detail, I switched back to 1080p and it looked blurry by comparision.

For those who are worried about performance, the beauty about playing at these higher res' is you can nix the AA as issues like jaggies and pixel crawl dissapear with the greater pixel density. AA can be such a performance eater, when I decided to nix it @ 4k my fps shot up almost double. Anyways if you like me have moved on to the "latest" thing I would say its well worth taking a look at Far Cry 4 agin with the fidelity turned up.

Looking forward to doing so at a later date. Just can't afford it right now.

No doubt this game is beautiful at 4k resolution.

It will look better even if you compromise for 2k, the fnier details for the trees/plants shows up alot better at 1440p, and gets rid of the need to run performancing sapping levels of AA

I play it at 3840x2400 and the detail level is great - especially with how precise the tree detail is at distance.

Ok that answers my question. I have a system that can handle Witcher 3 on max detail,Ultra setting. In this game, On high or very high it looks like a two year old game. I use a GTX 960,quad i54970,8 gram.... It might be optimized for highest settings, but not for the average, high, very high settings.stutters, in off line mode it has lag. Serious bad lag from input to action..sometimes 5 second pauses....Not such a great engine. Now witcher 3, but they're in another league in way of graphic goodness

try these settings for a GTX 960 ( i have an Asus Strix GTX 960)

resolution 1920 X 1080
vsync - on

quality settings
motion blur off - not a fan of it ..
Textures - Ultra
Shadows - High
Post FX -Ultra
Geometry - Very High
Vegetation- Ultra
Environment - Ultra
water - Ultra
ambient occusion setting is SSBC
and useing SMAA for Antialising

god rays - off- not a fan of how it looks
fur - off
trees relief -off

in advanced settings
triple buffer - off
Vsync mode - normal

game looks fine to me and plays stutter free on my system with zero crashes

if you got stutter open Nvidia control panel

go to manage 3d settings

under global set ansiotropic filtering to 16X
set Power management mode to Prefer maximum Performance
set Max Pre Rendered frames to 1 or 3

a GTX 960 is not going to perform well in 1440 P , for that you'll need at least a GTX 970 or better with Far Cry 4
