FAR CRY 5 - ANYBODY NEVER BELOW 60 FPS?

[thenox]

My rig has i7 4820k @ 3.70 Ghz, 16 Gb RAM and 2 GTX 1080.

No metter how much I lower resolution and details, I get drops to 50 fps very often.


Since I use v-sync, I get stuttering. V-sync off: tearing

Funny thing the permormance with 4k res. is pretty much the same than HD with LOW settings!

So, I wonder if any of you guys is actually able to play without any drop below 60 fps. In other words I'm trying to figure out if there's something wrong in my rig or it's game's fault.


Here the complete list of the fixes I tried already (some suggested by Ubisoft support) in order to get rid of stuttering and frame drops in Far Cry 5.

- Update with latest Nvidia drivers and installed latest Win 10 update
- Update Uplay, check for files integrity and reinstall support software
- Run FarCry5.exe as administrator (the game won't launch)
- Shut down all non windows service from msconfig (can't stop and restart EasyAntiCheat: the game won't launch) in order to verify there are no conflicts
- Disable Xbox 360 controller
- Try using a non gaming mouse and keyboard (really Ubisoft???)
- Disable Uplay in-game overlay
- Disable SLI
- Nvidia control panel- Manage 3D settings: power managment mode - prefer maximum performance
- Nvidia control panel- Manage 3D settings: texture filetring Quality - High performance
- Make an exception for FarCry 5 folder in Windows Defender (the only anti virus I have)
- Uninstalled these programs: AI Suite II - Fraps - MSI Kombustor 3
- Set monitor dpi to 96 (100%)
- Create a new windows profile: started the game from there
- Used defraggler for all my hard drives
- Reinstall the game on ssd hard drive, and changed the game language from Italian to English
- type command "regsvr32 KernelBase.dll" since some errors were found. I tried and I got this message "the module "kernelbase.dll" was loaded but the entry point Dllregisterserver was not found. Make sure that "kernelbase.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again".

I finally tried to repair windows 10, reinstalling it from cd-rom (without deleting my apps anyway), but the error didn't go away.

[Noa.]

I got more than 60 fps.

Yeah me too usually. But do you ever go below 60? Never never? If so, I have to figure out what’s wrong with my PC

Do you mean overclock? I don’t do that. Thanks anyway, appreciate your support

Aside from occassional stuttering for whatever reason, yeah, I'm generally sitting at around 90+fps on avg

never drops below 60 that much here
and thats on an Intel i 5 7600 K @ 4.4 ghz and a gigabyte GTX 1060 6 gig GPU and 16 gig of DDR 4 ram

make sure your running your ram in dual channel mode
if your have older DDR 3 ram what speed it is ?

Same here. I’m trying to figure out if there any way to get rid of that occasional stuttering which in my case is a bit more than occasional (whenever more than one enemy show up or while driving)

yes it's an old DDR3 @800 Mhz

not sure about dual channel. I checked using CPU-Z -memory tab - channel: it says "quad"

[-=SOF=-WID99]

if ya got stuuter get rid of it in Nvidia control panel

go to 3d settings \ program settings

far cry 5

set max pre rendered frames to 1

that should help

yea you may benifit and need faster ram as thats your system bottleneck with your old chipset with 2 GTX 1080 cards

i run 4 four gig crucial ballistic sport DIMMS DDR 4 2400 Mhz .. OC to 2714 via my asus bios .. had to add a fan by my ram slots to keep em cool

the difference between 8 gig and 16 gig was huge .. as when i first built my system i only bought 8 gig (2- 4 gig dimms as they were on sale ) ..went down the next day and bought 2 more sticks

I'm aware my ram is pretty old, I was planning already an upgrade

thanks for your time and help man :-)

no problem if your in the USA check out Microcenter they have good deals on motherboard bundles

dunno if they do overseas shipping tho ..my microcenter is a 20 min drive away

Unfortunately I live in Europe.

Last thing: do you think I should upgrade CPU too?

[-=SOF=-WID99]

i would some will say no but look at this comparision
http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-4820K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-7600K/1675vs3885

i wish i would have waited for the 8th gen intl chips .. but i got a hell of a deal last march on my 7500 K .. it was only $179 + i got a discount of 30 bucks on my ASUS Strix gameing Z 270 h motherboard


my total build only cost me about $1060
Intel Kaby Lake I5 7600K @ 4.4 GHZ <(via asus auto tune in my bios )
Cooler Master 212 Hyper evo \ 120 MM RED led fan
ASUS ROG STRIX z270 H GAMING motherboard
16 gig of Crucial Ballistic Sport DDR 4 2400 ram\ 4 X 4 gig dimms <(in dual channel mode)
Gigabyte Windforce 2 GTX 1060 OC model \ 6 gig vid card
500 gig Samsung 840 EVO SSD \ boot drive
2 TB Toshiba HDD storage drive \ 7200 RPM 64 meg cache
LG DVD burner
Thermaltake Versa V 22 special editon case \4 120 mm CoolerMaster fans + 1 yellow exhaust fan by GPU
Thermaltake 500 WATT 80+ power supply

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

the 8th gen intel chips are a bit faster bout 30 % in some cases
i coulda bought a 7700 K for about $100 more that day too ..but i dont stream or need an i 7 for my gameing needs .. YET ..maybe in a few months i'll pick one up

but i can not use the 8 th gen CPU's in a Z 270 mainboard .. since intel changed the pins on the newer CPU's (dammit)

800mhz memory speeds is the sole reason.

DDR4 average around 2400mhz for dual RAM slots.

The game is very much texture and object oriented to the point where you need large and fast ram to load many entities into it and a good gpu with large VRAM for larger textures.
