Farcry 4 Just won't run well on my 670...

[Aleks]

Testing out different settings over and over even on the lowest of lows I can get a smooth experience. Anybody else having these issues? Know how to fix them? I know "ubisoft"

[Virgule]

Yep

[Octavialicious]

yes sadly it seems like the every day the beautiful 670 gets weaker and weaker. Bad optimization doesn't help either

Only need to change the MIP part, not frame buffering. This WILL lower textures a bit, but its about the only way to reduce stutter besides locking the game to 30 FPS in Nvidia Control Panel/Radeon Pro with Rivatuner limited to 30 FPS and doing the frame pacing.

 

Don't feel bad though. Stuttering happens on GTX 980's without disabling mip mapping or running lower settings.  Game is just badly CPU optimized and the texture streaming is garbage. Game simply needs fixed and whether that will happen? It's Ubisoft. Who knows. Disable mip or lock it to 30 and have it be pretty. Those are the options. For everyone.

It's Ubisoft. The game is quite horribly optimized, and it's not a surprise that the 670 (760) gets poor performance on it. It gets about a third of the FPS that FC3 does at the same settings.

It's not entirely the performance of the 670 that's the problem it's the poor multicore implementation that's causing most of the issues. It runs like crap on my 760's too, the hitching makes it unplayable. All that you can really do about it is wait for it to be patched.

Ubisoft is the new EA!

Ubisoft is the new EA!

EA never had massive issues with optimisation on PC like Ubisoft though.

 

Well, not the EA games I've played anyway.

A 670 is not a 760... 

GTX660<GTX760=GTX660ti<GTX670.

The 670 didn't get a replacement because with sotck clock it only has a 5% difference from a 680.

And because those cards go easy 1200mhz and higher and reach beyond GTX770 stock speeds those cards aren't sold anymore.

(I know long text for a small thing but it really annoys me when people get those cards messed up)

Uhh, the 760 is much more close to a GTX 670 then a 660 Ti. The reference 760 even uses the cooler and PCB from the reference 670. The 670 is also much closer to the 760 in benchmarks, and sometimes is even faster.
