Hello I got a new computers this christmas. It has
8gb RAM
I7 7700hq
1tb hdd
Nvidia Gtx970


I bought far cry 4 one day ago and started playing today. It was working all right, with 30fps. I played for three hours in the living room, with the pc plugged. At a point I took It to my room. I closed the pc, disconnected It and moved It to my room. Once un my room i plugged it, and opened It again. My fps were 7. Graphics were on high so I put them on low. I went into the game again and the fps had increased by 4. 11fps. It had been working fine for 3 hours and now 11fps. BTW im playing offline and with v-sync on. Triple buffering off. I hadn't changed any settings before, so I do not understand why the fps have dropped so down. I tried restarting the game and the computer, but it still wasn'tgoing above 11fps. Then I resetted the graphics settings, but there was no change. Does anybody know what the problem is or how can I solve it???
Please I'm desperate!

I also use the GeForce optimum graphics settings

It's not a bottleneck issue. With a system like that, you shouldn't have any problems. One of my laptops has an i7-6700hq & a gtx 970. on slow days at work, i'd leave it on all day running games like dead rising 4, wildlands, etc... and that never happened.

I'm wondering if possibly Windows decided to do some updates on you or perform a 'drive optimization' in the background. It's possible a virus scan initiated for whatever reason. Next time it happens, open up Task Manager (CNTRL+ALT+DEL) & then under "Processes", see what's consuming all the CPU.

Toshibitsu I made sure. I think that it was not that. Could it be something like a cpu bottleneck? Like, after playing for 3 hours straight the CPU got overhelmed?
