GTX 960 unable to handle FAR CRY 4

[shobuj66]

I am facing a problem. While playing FAR CRY 4 and Dying light for 10 to 15 minutes games become very much slow. Even in loading any specific level(for second time) it requires much more time than the first time loading. I think my computer's Ram is an issue. what do u think guys. Help ASAP. TIA

Computer specs:
Core I3 4130 3.2 GHz
Ram: 4GB 1333
GPU: GTX 960
PSU: 450 W
Resolution: 1360x768

Hello... 1) You should see performance gains with 8gb ram.
2) get a SSD for your game files/maps.
3) check to see if Windows is still set for "Core Parking" And shut it off... Typically " 1 " is the default setting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl3u9eiskM4

Far cry for does loves ram as Ironsounds said. When I play it I often see mem usage of 6gb or more (which is crazy no other game does that). Also far cry 4 does have a stutter issue which is extremely annoying!

Here are the tweaks I did http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/954533-EASY-FIX-Stutter-Frame-Skipping-Far-Cry-4!-Forums I rather have some lower textures and guaranteed 30+fps than the constant stuttering this game otherwise exhibits.

Lastly I think overclocking that cpu to 4ghz or so would also greatly improve performance.

Hello yes ironsounds is right you should upgrade to 8gb ram too see a significant improvement.
And btw can you tell what settings are you playing? Far cry is a pretty demanding game. I play it with maxed settings and TXAA2x, and it fills about 3,1-3,3GB videoram of my gtx 980, so you should check with afterburner what vram usage you have, and maybe lower the textures or something.
But if you want to enjoy upcoming AAA games the 8gb is a must. For example GTA V PC, and Witcher 3 already has 6GB RAM as a minimum requirement, and 8 GB as recommended.

I have 8gb aswell but if i'm multitasking heavily even 8gb is not enough sometimes and i'll upgrade to 14/16gb at start of march.
