Essex innit!
Just watched this vid and have to agree with this guy about the micro stutter in this game. Mine isn't as bad as that (I have toned settings down) but it is similar to the AMD stutter that is showing.

If I turn settings up, I get it the same as what is being shown in the top vid. Is anyone else getting this with single/SLI/CF/1080P+ resolutions? I have tried numerous fixes but it is still quite noticable (not a game breaker) and would love to have this game as smooth as my others.

 
Game feels awful even with 60-90 FPS as I do (Ultra preset with HDAO on; MSAA 2x; and some more mish mash settings).

Fairly sure it's refreshing at only 60 Hz but no way I can tell to force 120 Hz. It just feels really sluggish even with vsync off.

Morale of the story: game is fantastic but even without the microstutter you aren't going to find it overly pleasurable IMO.
 
Which are the best drivers to use for this game

Im downloading it at the moment to have a look at it - I don't normally play this style of game.
 
Some people who use GTX 680 SLI state you can significantly reduce stutter if you set an FPS cap at 59.
 
Game is completely unplayable for me, 7970 CF.

Have tried all sorts of settings as well as radeonpro just nothing works despite hitting over 100 fps @ 1080/120hz

I've given up for now, not even going to try again any time soon. It can wait.
 
I get stuttering when i turn on or up msaa but works perfectly fine when its off. Games running really well on my system.
 
Nice to see a few of us GPU freaks can't get it to run smooth. With lower settings and 80-90fps it should be feeling very smooth but sadly it isn't.

Damned game is addictive though and such a spoiler for a great game :(

Exactly why I'm waiting for it to be fixed, I don't want what should be a simple fix to ruin this for me, especially as far cry 2 sucked so much

I should have waited but my damned curiosity got the better of me and before you know it, I was stuttering along for hours at a time :p
 
Pffft borderlands 2 for goty, any game that's pulled over 100 hours of my time and still keeps me coming back wins for me.

Saying that it helps to have had a real play on fc3 before deciding...

If that's how high the bar is for GOTY...
You could combine all games this year and the total playtime is less than 100 hours lol :(

I'd probably put BL2 though, Steam reckons i've played that 23 hours.

Yes I have 2 HD 7970s hence the quad sli.:D

On a serious note at some point I want to run Far Cry 3 on my HD 7970s to see if the memory usage goes above 2 gbs per GPU. The highest memory usage I have seen at 1600p before this was BF3 which was about 1800mbs per GPU.
