FarCry 4 bad framerate on 290x

[Gregster]

I can't wait to sink my teeth into this. Hopefully not too demanding

 

[africanos23]

I hate how they don't release worldwide on the same day. But atleast the US players are beta testing for us.

 

[systemerror]

Well hopefully my 980s arrive soon as I am really looking forward to this. But need to finish FC3 first

I not sure what settings they playing on be it Ultra etc or mixed i'll after find out.. I know one plays at 1440p

Would it be wrong to think you could be expecting to much from a single GPU?
It looks a demanding game, and so far for a Ubisoft game seems to be very good on PC from what I seen, been told.

Just zero Multi GPU support AMD working with them to fix i believe.

-----------------------------------


Wow..Has anyone tried these drivers yet? That 50% claim seems unbelievable but quite possible given the bias towards Nvidia with this game.

 

[Ayahuasca]

I see you like to copy me, so you must be listening

Stunning

Nope it's actually taking the **** out of you but I'm not surprised you didn't notice that

There's a reason multiple people caught onto it and noticed you would say stunning for things that really weren't at all stunning

 

[Gregster]

lol

[Rusty0611]

Awks.

 

[shankly1985]

14.9 drivers game stutters, but frame rate stays up. will try out the latest driver later tonight or tomorrow.

 

[TonyTurbo78]

50% increases with this new driver is BS lol. I get exaclty the same frames in exactly the same spot which is 60. Oh wait, Vsync is on

Now just get me that crossfire profile AMD because I wanna throw 8xMSAA at this beast.

 

[mxoagentjohnson]

Games a stuttery mess for me even on my new 970, gg ubisoft

 

[nashathedog]

We'll be releasing a driver with performance improvements for this title soon. I don't believe the game has been officially released yet.

How soon please? I'm downloading it now and I wish I'd looked on here and seen this before buying.

It was released late last night.
