Far Cry 5 Optimization Guide for Nvidia Users*

[|eG| Blazin540]

Some Tips To Hopefully Help Optimize The Driver For The Game Through Nvidia Profile inspector or Nvidia Control Panel.

in Steps As Follows:

1.Open Nvidia Profile Inspector or Nvidia Control Panel.
2.Go To Far Cry 5 Driver Profile and Enable/ Disable the following as i instruct.

*Set Max. prerendered frames: 1
*~If you just Limit Your FPS use Frame Rate Limiter to use it click drop down arrow and
choose your fps.
*~If you Use VSYNC: Turn Triple Buffering to ON and Switch Vertical Sync to FORCE ON.
*Anisotrophic Filtering Mode: USER DEFINED/ OFF
*Anisotrophic Filtering Setting: 16x
*Power Management Mode: PREFER MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

~If Using 1 Monitor/ Screen set
*Multi Display/ Mixed Gpu Acceleration to: SINGLE DISPLAY PERFORMANCE MODE
~Instead of TAA try a less intensive AA Option which is combining FXAA and SMAA
(To Do So): in same driver Profile Find,
*Toggle FXAA Turn On Or Off to: ON and Then Simply Enable SMAA In Graphic Options once
In Game

Once All Done, be sure that none of the optional driver box options are highlighted and simply click APPLY at top right of screen(or apply button in Nvidia Control Panel) And Bam!. Mission Complete, Should Help Immensly Stabalize The FPS/ Completely Remove In Game Stuttering! Your Welcome.

My 11 GB 1080 Ti uses 60% to 65% of VRAM in 1080p resolution @ max settings, nobody should be trying to run @ 4K resoulution unless you have more than 8 GB of VRAM or are drastically dumbing down your video settings in game. This game will not perform well in 4K using a GTX 1070 Ti or GTX 1080 at all...stick to 1080p resolution only. Game is beautiful and a work of art, but you need powerful hardware to reap the benefits, don't blame it on poor optimization.

80-95 FPS same settings as benchmark in Fall Town

That is what I expected from a GTX1070, well but it seems not what Dungeon Rogue wanted to read.
With framerate locking you should get more stable results. Thats why I enable framerate locking, it looks for me more nonedropping frames on the lower end.

Buddy. I don't know why the hell this made everything work, but I've been having the worst problems with this game and applying some of your steps to my own setup suddenly made it run perfectly. Thank you so much.

The profile inspector never saves settings for any games I try to change. Am I missing something? Is there something I need to do to do to get this working? Whenever I try to apply changes I get the error:

DRS_SaveSettings failed: NVAPI_ACCESS_DENIED

I am running as admin.
Win 10 x64
Dual 880M's in SLi

This may be a broader question for an Nvidia forum, but I am having no luck searching.

Everything default and the game maxed out 1080p with 1 GTX 1070 8GB and 110+ FPS. Only when i increase in game resolution scaling does it drop, sweet spot is 1.2 and still 75-90+ FPS.

No stutter, no hic-ups, nothing, everything is clear and no issues. Once a while there is a texture flicker during close up scenes, but it runs great and looks great, no idea what you guys are doing.

^^^^^^^thank you <3

Can I ask what CPU do you have?. I'm on i5 6600 with gtx 1080 and despite having good frame rate in benchmark (constant 60 to match the refresh rate) I can see the game struggles to keep things smooth even on normal settings while playing. Only using 50% of vram.
