Farcry 3 multiplayer?

I think my card is broken tbh, its pixelising everytime i move, i thought this was normal but no one else is getting this, just been on my old PC with a 660 no such thing happens and it can run it at better settings then my 7970!

Think i need RMA the card, the weird thing above med settings is the game will go 60 then 30 and lock at 30 and then 60 it has to be the card as ive asked in every game and no one is having such problems, max GPU usage was 97% so its not even bottlenecked.

Really annoying me!!
 
I had slight artifacting in Borderlands 2 last night also, but i couldnt make it happen again it was just happening in random places.

The card is also hitting 63C and the fan speed will only go to 27% its stupid how the fans wont cool the card :\

But this is LOWEST settings and im still getting this artifacting so it has to be something wrong with the card, this game is the first time its used 100% GPU, i put all ultra and it used 100% so i maybe not notice on games that dont use 100% GPU but when it does it artifacts.

Its all at default clocks so should work fine.

I know the drivers are BETA but other people with the same card are getting no such artifacting. This is the 4th AMD card ive had thats went dodgy! Im starting to lose hope! Ive also tried 3 brands so......

I maybe grab a 680 or 670 to save myself the hassle.
 
Heres a link to a vid i made of it, a bit wobbly, i had to record with fraps then record fraps with my phone.

You can see where i aim the pixels are easiest to spot, this happens full screen when moving about, it looks like its trying to loads textures or something but pixelises, this happens on all settings low-ultra.


PS. up it to 720P bit better :D

Its a full new PC, what card you got Night?

Do you get these problems Rusty? You have an AMD card.

Everyone ive asked so far said it plays fine, and it plays fine on my 660 setup.

The artifacting in borderlands was giant spikes that stretch across the screen but i havent been able to reproduce them at will its just random, probly at intense moments.

They are sending me a new card now anyways so if it happens on this one then it should be the game.
 
See so it cant be drivers and it cant be the game if you dont get them.

There seems no input lag for me though, i keep coming top all the time its so easy to aim on this game, AK47 so accurate at long range and the basic crosshair is perfect.

Im also getting a stuttering effect now, like its missing a frame or something.

Really annoying me, ive found a map the pixelisation turns a door white so its really easy to see.
 
Known Game issue mate posted a lot over on Farcry forum. I also get the same thing.

Its really a known issue?

Can you link me the thread?

Ive noticed it happens around textures that are loading, ive also fixed the stuttering by enableing frame buffering.

Now i need find out why borderlands artifacts then?
 
I cant see it anywhere on their forums.

But why is my game running so slow then? I cant play it past medium settings or it lags? Surely the 7970 can handle this? Ive read people with 6950s playing it on high/very high ?

True but if 9/10 dont get the problem i think its best to say its something to do with the 1/10 lol
 
It goes 60 then locks at 30 wont go below 30 but it laggs like crazy like totally not playable.

Its not like its pumping frames properly, how can it jump from 60 to 30 then back to 60 and not going down to 50,40,30 ect.

Very strange.
 
There is no option for triple buffering?

Without Vsync the tearing is so bad its worse then playing on medium lol!

I would like to play the game at is highest settings with the 7970 and all, who said the 7970 and 680 will play games at max for ages? And yet its struggling with Farcry 3?

It could be a game thing as a few people have mentioned now, i can play at higher using custom settings with everythign high and get constant 60 but if i use the preset high which is high/medium settings it laggs lol :\ I think this points to the game aswell.

Anways i dunno how to check Vram temps as GPUZ is not showing them for some reason?
 
Yeah i have it on 1 so that is synced to 60 FPS 2 is 30 FPS.

Also matt i can force triple buffering via CCC if thats all thats doing?

But am i right that the 7970 should fly with this game? I mean its hardly even using any Vram 855! So i dunno if the Vram is getting hot and it wont show up on GPUZ either way :\ which is dumb.


I enabled triple buffering within CCC and it fixed that weird spiking! Runs on ultra now pretty much smooth, if it dips to 55 however it get a jerkyness then its back to 60 its only in demanding areas. This shows the card is struggling?

The tripple buffering trick works nice though and its playable, bout 97% not 100 yet lol some of them jerks can ruin a kill.

Just got 44 kills 3 deaths :D Best run yet, AK47 is pwnage.
 
Well i hope so, they have sent another one anyways so ill test which is better and keep that one lol. Its 2 years collect and return, they send me parts then collect the others when im ready to return. I maybe try CF for a week :D lol

If the pixelisation is the game, id really like some more people to say they get it?

I know whats causing it, its when it loads in the detailed textures when you get closer to things but its pixelising when its doing it and when your running around the full screen nearly pixelises.

But im very happy the tripple buffering solved the other problem, atleast i know the card can just about run it on ultra at stock.
