Far cry 3 GPU/CPU usage 20%

[MG97]

I've been trying to play far cry 3 and my god it's a mess... My gpu and cpu usage get to 20% max, spike at 70 sometime and that's it, how can fix that?

 

rtx3080

64gb ram

ryzen 3900x

 

and please let's skip the updated driver, vsync off bullshit

Well, what kind of fps do you get? Stutters? Resolution? Temps? Clock Speeds? Background tasks? Rebooted?

Full specs?
RTX 3080 - no model number/name, 64GB RAM - what speed, who made it, 2 or 4 sticks, etc.

Are you getting at least 60 fps?

between 25 to 240, a lot of stutters, sometimes looking at the same spot my framerates is jumping from 60 to 140 and going down to 60, i've tried them all, 1080p, 1440p, 4k, even higher, always the same results. My cpu is at 38c right now, my gpu is at 37c

 

Update: I've rebooted the game, i was getting 80 to 90 fps then i got in a car, dropped to 25 and one assets by one turned black, until all screen except ui was black. The game was still working and running. i could move shoot etc... For those wondering, no never happened before and i've no issue with other game

Same thing happens when I play GTA: Vice City on my old Core 2 Duo machine with a GT440. 

 

Problem?

 

PCI lane bottleneck. My GPU is stuck at PCIe 1x speed. Turns out Intel Q35 chipset doesn't like Fermi! Tried everything, but there appears to be no solution. Maybe your GPU is stuck at 4x-8x as well?

 

You can tell that by running GPUz.

Okay i think the game is broken af.

Well i could believe that if all games were having issues, which is not the case, but i still checked and no, everything is fine, pcie4.0 16x

Must be the drivers then, considering its a brand new card with a revolutionary architecture. 

 

I'm sure Nvidia will iron everything out, like usual!

I also thought it was the drivers, but i've played many games with my rtx 3080, old one, new ones, even gta 4 which is known to be a mess is working, but far cry 3 is fucked. I've done some research and i'm apparently not the first one to have those issues. I've seen people with gtx 660, gtx 1080, rtx 2080, all talking about the same issues.
