far cry 4 patch destroyed my framerate

[ghikft]

I just lunched far cry 4 for the first time in a month and I noticed that my framerate was much lower then it used to be. I was at one place were I used to get 80-85 fps and now i'm at about 55 fps. My computer has a gtx 980, a 4790k and 16gb of ram. so that's not the problem. I also checked the load on my GPU and it was pinned at 100%. There was also no big program running in the background that could of cause the problem. I was wondering if they had released a patch recently that could of caused that problem.

 

anyway thanks!!

Sounds a typical de-optimization patch from ubisoft.

Ubisoft-  "make games perform worse after every patch"

Well they kinda improved Unity with patches right?

No idea, last ubisoft game I played was black flag(not that long ago) but still. Apparently far cry 4 still has SLI issues, creating texture flicker, total biscuit was talking about it on the lastest co-optional podcast

Wow that's pretty bad... especially for a 980..

 

I'm gonna sound like a complete crazy person here but maybe consider lowering the graphics settings just a tiny bit to increase performance.

 

But you have a 980, how in the world would you be getting 55 fps at any point, that is absurd.

 

What resolution are you playing at?

Check the graphics options? The last time I played FC4 (about a week or so ago), my performance had improved by a small amount. 

 

Last I checked, MSAA and TXAA were still horribly broken (massive hit on framerate), but SMAA runs decently well.

 

Edit: i7-4770K, single GTX 980, 8 GB RAM, SSD.

FC4 is running at 1440p, High settings (one or two things ultra), SMAA, locked to 60.

I didn't found the problem but I found how to fix it. I lowered all the settings down and then manually put them all back up one by one to were they were at before and that fixed my framerate issue.

ya now my 3rd cpu core is always pegged at 100% while the other ones do not go above 30

fps usually at 55-60 before was constantly at 75

Fixed.

When they improved Unity with patch 1.6, I Believe they destroyed SLI optimization and made every texture and puddle flicker like crazy. In a sense, yes- they did improve framefrates but the flickering is jsut horrible...
