Farcry 3 multiplayer?

[SkodaMart]

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.

That's exactly how vsync worked for me in BatMan
Constant 60 fps, then it would drop to 30 fps, then back up to 60.

vsync related?

Use triple buffering.

I have the same problem now and again on my setup, must be game related, still very playable though.

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

Wouldn't worry what over people say they play on, my friend is using an old 5850 and he reckons he can play with it maxed out...pointless statement due to lack of framerate.

63c is very cool for a GPU btw, what temps are your VRMs getting? Those getting too hot are known to cause artifacting, that and the memory - BL2 i'm talking about, FC3 MP is pretty buggy atm (from what i've read/heard)

That's the game not your card.

You can change one of the settings to disable it so frames render normally but I'm not an expert on what the settings are called in FC3 as not really explored the settings properly.

Probably be Vsync on and then triple buffering or something along those lines...

Edit: LtMatt got it

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?

 

[Tonester0011]

VRM temps are normally at the bottom of the sensor page.
You're not overclocking so doubt it's anything to do with that, as they just wont get hot enough, something else to look for though?

make sure gpu-z is logging results then look in the document folder its in there.

Download this.

Place it somewhere safe.

Copy my global settings.

Click the plus sign, add both Far cry exe's to the list and copy my settings for that game.

Start the game up with D3D loaded, if it worked you will hear a DING noise as the game loads.

You're not listening.

What is happening is that the Vsync setting you have it on is basically saying sync to 60 frames when above 60 FPS but when below 60 frames sync to 30 frames. It's nothing to do with the GPU muscle of your card.

It's 1 or 2 isn't it the settings for it? What do you have it on.

 

[LtMatt]

My paint skills are superb i must say.

 

[weehamish]

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 Best run yet, AK47 is pwnage.

 

[Rusty0611]

VRAM used isn't directly correlative to how it performs.

Your card appears to be fine. FC3 is a very demanding game. Some FPS spikes are normal.

 

[weehamish]

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 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.

 

[chipachap]

I see the occasional transparent checkerboard and pixelisation of objects, it's just the game. Although if you're running an overclock like me the checkerboards could be slight artifacting.

It just doesn't look like a card fault.

+1. The game is buggy as hell for Nvidia users also.

 

[zakblood]

need to wait for better drivers and more patches, strange if you look at how many are having the problems, most but not all seem to have very high spec machines, i can get it to work well on a medium spec pc with a amd medium spec card, on my brand new gaming rig, all top end it locks up after a hour at first and now cant get the game to work for more than 10 mins max no matter what i try and run it on, dx 9/11 low medium or high, ultra err nope
