CPU and GPU usage drops on Far Cry 4

[mitad]

I have a i3 4130 and gtx 660 ti with 4 gb kings RAM hyperx blu. I am having sudden fps drops on FC4 randomly. My friends rig, who has an athlon x2 doesn't experience this lags or anything. I've updated my drivers in GPU so I'm confident that my CPU is the culprit.

I did furmark and PCmark to test my performance, furmark did well as well as my cpu in pcmark. Thanks

It's a known issue with Far cry 4 random fps drop.
It happens to any rig like a GTX 980 SLI:

Yep, I heard that there are problems with fps drops. But mine specifically, gpu usage goes down to 0% which causes the massive lags. It basically freezes for 2-3 sec and then it goes back to normal.

Everyone has this issue right now, it will be fixed in a few days to a week I would assume.

Yes this is a big issue I have it and your I3 4130 is going to struggle cosndiering its a dual core that game doesn't like dual cores atalll it runs bad on hyper threading ones but the game doesn't even play on a normal dual core rig at all. so much to the value Pentium G3258 XD
