[SOLVED] Getting low FPS on Farcry 4 even with 1366x768 resolution is it normal?

[Jamry]

Specs:
Ryzen 7 1700
8x2GB DDR4 RAM
Sapphire RX 570 8GB
120GB/240GB SSD
Seasonic M12II EVO 520w

Just how much fps should I be actually getting?
Im getting so much fps drops even on very low preset, makes it hard for me to play the game at all even on my current monitor (1366x768), I was truly hoping for the game to be played smoothly with my current rig.

CPU/GPU loads? Temps? Clock speeds?

CPU/GPU loads? Temps? Clock speeds?

Hello! at the moment I am not able to update you on this since I am in the midst of downloading the game again because I rage uninstalled it, Sorry about that.

But I can fill you in that the CPU is running on stock frequency and not OCed at all. Meanwhile the RX 570's Core clock is set to 1244, while the Memory Clock is set to 1750. I am not that good when it comes to the technical stuff so I hope the stuff I mentioned above is the one you're looking for. I will update you after I installed the game again about the temps and the load.

Thank You!

CPU/GPU loads? Temps? Clock speeds?

Hi! Came back with some results. I don't know what happened last time about all settings set to the lowest and still getting some bad fps. So I reinstalled the game and run it on ultra preset, V Sync on, and I just turned off the Motion Blur. Im getting a maximum of 60 FPS and a minimum of 30+ FPS.

GPU Usage is not consistent on 100% not (99%-100%) but like actually goes down really low (14% or even 0% e.g.) and goes back up to 100%)
GPU Temp: never go pass 60

CPU Usage: 20% - 30% (Rarely goes pass 30%)
CPU Temp: rarely go pass 50

Am I actually getting the right FPS? I am actually looking at two things that is making me anxious about the FPS I am currently getting at the moment.

Vsync will cap your frame rates at 60FPS. When testing always make sure Vsync is off. But otherwise things look fine.

Are all you drivers for all the system updated?

Vsync will cap your frame rates at 60FPS. When testing always make sure Vsync is off. But otherwise things look fine.

On my last reply I have a link about someone running the game on 1080p on ultra preset with an i3 CPU same GPU as me and a 8gb ram that rarely does to 90FPS.

Im concerned about the performance im getting with running the game in 1366x768 resolution that even with vsync which of course caps the game to 60 FPS that I should not have been experiencing any fps drops at all since I have a much higher CPU and more RAM than the one in the link.

Yes, every thing in up to date.

Run it with Vsync off. Do you get 90FPS? More? Without knowing what you can hit you can't know if there is an issue.

I've run it now on ultra preset without Vsync, it rarely goes pass 70fps and it feels laggy since it mostly stays down on 50-59 FPS instead of 60+ FPS when strolling around the forest.

Im just really concerned about if this is the right fps am I getting since Im also looking at the 1080p benchmark on tomshardware with farcry 4. and im just running the game on 1366x768.

 

[Jamry]

SEven just testing inside the house or Banapur (Starting Village) , it plays on 40-55FPS.

 

[4745454b]

And the loads on both stay low? Is 1080 also on ultra or high? (I saw you said your friend runs an i3 at 1080 and ultra and gets higher frames...)

I'm assuming you are on a 1366x768 monitor? And this isn't a laptop? You said everything is up to date, does that include the bios? You have a first edition Ryzen chip which really needs a lot of updates to run the RAM correctly. If the GPU does drop down in % load, I'm guessing heat, CPU not keeping up, or power. You said the heat is fine, so perhaps the CPU is falling behind somehow or there is a power issue. The 520 while ok isn't really meant for modern systems. While your system isn't power hungry per se, perhaps its somehow more than your PSU can handle. Is it a new one or is this something you are reusing? Speaking of reusing, the games are on the SSDs and not an old HDD right?

 

[Jamry]

Im just really using a 1366x768 monitor at the moment, and nope this isn't a laptop. The game is installed on an SSD, the BIOS is up to date too. The power supply im using is brand new.

 

[4745454b]

Windows needs to be up to date as well. Which version are you using?

 

[Jamry]

Windows 10 Ver. 1809 (OS Build 17763.1158)

 

[popatim]

With your GPU running at 100%, something is wrong there.
Where did you get this 570 from?
Are you running the game in Borderless / windowed mode or fullscreen?
Whats the desktop resolution set to? Virtual Super Resolution off? AMD doesn't support 1366x768 anymore, or so i thought.
Is ReLive or other game capture software off?

 

[jimmysmitty]

That game is very old. Much older hardware can max the game out and get 60FPS.

A 7970GHz could run the game on Ultra at 1920x1200 and thats with a I7 4770K.

Hell I would recommend you use super sampling and have the game be run at a higher resolution and then rendered on screen at the lower resolution.

How to Run PC Games at Resolutions Higher Than Your Monitor with Supersampling

What's the ideal resolution for a PC game? Ask most players and they'll immediately answer, "Whatever your monitor can support.

You should not be running it at that low of resolution or settings. It would put the bottleneck on your CPU and I bet your GPU is barely working.
