I'm bored of paradise already. Wish it rained more! I've had rain once in about two days of playing.

MANFACE · 10 Dec 2012 at 20:02

Hmm... Seems like after the few hours - All Day - server maintenance, playing on-line seems pretty good ?

Just downloading this now

What sort of settings will I be able to run with a HD7850 OC? OC'd to 1050 core and 5800 mem.. Will I be able to play high settings? With half decent FPS (as in playable all the time...)

Thanks,
Cam.

Can't even get the game to work

- I start a new game, but I get about 1 frame every 5 seconds?

This is cool.

It reassigned all my keys to the correct keys on dvorak, and tells me the correct keys on all tip screens.

Graphics are good and there's a ton load of missions and things to do, its a bit overwhelminng.

This just proves how rare it is! It's nice when it happens though.

I had rain for the first time last night as I pinched a jetski for the first time and headed off on a trip across the estuary I was next to. It was absolutely teeming it down, proper storm!!.

CaptainRAVE · 10 Dec 2012 at 22:42

So it seems I am only getting the stutter during the various "cutscenes" - anyone know of a fix?

You need to get rid of that ancient GPU of yours

, not sure if it's an x-fire problem.

You could try calling AMD or Ubisoft customer support.

I think you're confused. This is OcUK, not Google Search.

I think you're confused, this is a discussion forum where people can ask question about an ongoing subject, and most nice people will give a decent response.

Well I have disabled xfire. That didn't work. I have updated all of my video codecs , that didn't work.

When I EVENTUALLY get through the cutscenes at about 0.1 fps the game runs very smooth all maxed out, so it is a little strange. Also frustrating because it basically makes the game unplayable.

The only thing I can think of, is the cut scene CPU dependant ?

Edit: Maybe. http://www.techspot.com/review/615-far-cry-3-performance/page6.html

Like most of today's games, Far Cry 3 can use four cores or threads, so it's no surprise that dual-core chips suffer, as evidenced by the Phenom II X2 and Athlon II X2. However, core/thread efficiency is also extremely important and this is where the Intel has an edge, with the i7-3770K and i7-3960X topping our chart.
