FarCry 3 Video scenes problem

Hi guys,

I'm currently playing FC3 and am experiencing one bug. The settings are maxed (like all maxed, ultra, 8msaa,..) and the game runs just fine, no lags or so, BUT - during the video scenes in the beginning or between missions (or what it is, I've just played the first part), the game just goes crazy, FPS is like 0.1 and even the Menu in these parts (video scenes) is lagging. As the game runs really great in gameplay, I assume it is not a performance issue.

Anyone having similar problems ? Or someone with solution ?
running Win7 64bit with Catalyst 12.11Beta6 on HD7870

Thanks,

Its not a answer of this, but do you mind if i ask what processor you have? Because im gonna buy a computer with a similar graphics card as you and im gonna play Far Cry 3, so i need to know what processor you have.
 


I've got one piece of an old PC - Q9400 with 4GB DDR2 RAM. But there is nothing more that I can recommend to you than Gigabyte's OC version of 7870. I have 26" Full HD display and the card with my low HW specs can run ANY (yes, all of the today's games) on 1920x1200 with all settings on MAX. Btw, I've already solved this problem (don't know how), the game now runs great.

Youngster dude,
Btw, I've already solved this problem (don't know how), the game now runs great.
