Far cry 3 video settings help?

[beaverking]

So I just bought and installed far cry 3 and I'm trying to figure something out. When I set the overall setting to ultra only like 3 settings are ultra, a few very highs, and a few highs. I went into custom to try and set everything to ultra and the same thing, only a few will even go to ultra and some of the options only go to high. Its like ultra doesn't exist on those options. I wanna say textures is one of them that only has a high option and environment for example. Why can't I turn everything to Ultra? Or is this how the game is supposed to be and I can't turn everything to ultra. Thanks.

It adjusts to YOUR machine and graphics card... I SUSPECT your card is not good enough for Ultra...

Specs ?

All the best Brett

I7 3930 k with sli gtx 680 OC. I don't think it's that cuz even on custom you can't choose very high or ultra.

 

[beaverking]

Anybody that confirm theirs is like this and it's normal, or something is wrong with mine?

It does the same with mine, I believe some settings simply have more limited options.

Checked mine and same ..... some games dont have ultra settings on many of the graphics options. No need to worry , def not the card 680 will max anything out currently.

Hi

Interesting though, for all their talk of phenomenally high graphics, both your twin cards and my 7990 could obviously run it higher if they let us....

All the best Brett

 

[henkbas]

some settings just don't have the option ultra but have very high or high as the maximum setting on any system, nothing the worry about...

Ok sounds good. Just thought it was strange. I think this is the first game I've come across like this. One more question, on a 24" 1080 monitor what should the fov be?

I Have ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphic Card (Intergreted). It Has 1915 MB But I Try To Run Far Cry 3 and I Can't Seem To Tap 30 FPS, So I Was Thinking I Should Get A New Graphics Card. My PC Specs:
HP Pavilion Dv4 Notebook Series
AMD Turion X2 Ultra 64 ZM-80 2.1 Ghz
4 Gb Of Ram
359 Gb HDD
Should I Upgrade Or What ?
The Average FPS I Obtain Is 15 FPS. I Know My
Graphics card Is Bad But Still Any Other Tweaks. I've Also Tried "PostFxQuality=False" tweak But It Just Drops My FPS By 6, And 9 FPS Isn't Playable.Or Should I Add Ram Or Buy A New Graphics Card ?

Nothing you can really do. That laptop wasn't designed for gaming. You can't upgrade the video card in laptops for the most part. I think a few Alienwares and stuff like that have the option, but that is about it.

 

[beaverking]

As far as I know, your motherboard and your gpu are on the same board, plus a laptop. So you would either have to replace everything and just use your laptop shell or upgrade.

Okay, Thanks Alot

I Was Recently Thinking About Buying This:

3.5 Ghz (TurboBoost:4.1Ghz)

 

[voiidwulf]

I assume you realize that won't fit in your laptop?

 

[KiiDPoLo98]

I"m Only 15 and I Know A Bit About Computers & I'm New To OC"ing,Modding(W.E), && Building Computers !!
*Thanks For Info Though, Imma Just Get A New Computer

 

[voiidwulf]

^ Yeah, that's fine. I'm only 14. I'm just making sure you don't think that the FX 6300 you linked will fit in your laptop.

Ok , So I Asked My Mom Can She Buy This For Me:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-17.3-Pavilion-g7-2217cl-Laptop-PC-with-AMD-A6-4400M-Processor-and-Windows-8/21666186

Also how do you know everything about computers ?

 

[beaverking]

Not for any serious gaming

 

[KiiDPoLo98]

But, Is it strong enough for Far Cry 3 on Medium settings?

 

[beaverking]

Probably not, low settings most likely with low fps

 

[KiiDPoLo98]

I Average 15 FPS With My HP Pavilion Dv4

That PC won't let you play Far Cry 3. It is barely better than your current one. If you want a gaming laptop, it will cost over $1000. If you want a desktop that plays Far Cry 3 well, you could do it for about $500.

I don't know everything about computers. I know less than a lot of the people on this forum.

 

[KiiDPoLo98]

I'll try to find a better labtop.
Any Suggestions ?

*I would get a desktop but then i would have to get a desktop case or whatever you call it.
