Is your CPU OC'd?

Have you got the latest drivers?

No , my cpu is not overclocked

Have you got the latest drivers?

yes , for  the game the 1.7.0 and for the gpu  347.09

No , my cpu is not overclocked

That could be the issue. FC4 is basically a single threaded game(it uses multiple threads, but only one of them pulls most of the weight), so basically the poor single thread performance that FX's have is holding the game back(or your GPU). This isn't the CPU's fault, just Ubisoft's lazy/dumb coding, but sadly AMD's architecture gets the short end of the stick(which is why I am boycotting Ubisoft). If you OC you can squeeze more FPS(probably up to 10), but don't wait for a patch since that's never coming. I found this article that shows the Intel vs AMD performance numbers(which not to start a war, but to show the difference between a multithread dependent CPU vs a strong single thread CPU), and a non OC'd FX vs a OC'd FX CPU.

The problem is the Nvidia drivers. For the 780 on Far Cry 4 lots of people have noticed issues. It's a very powerful card, great hardware but the question is how much effort Nvidia puts into optimizing drivers for Kepler.

With decent drivers you would expect to hang near to the R9 290.

Fortunately you're not the only one who has noticed
