Hey guys!

I bought FARCRY 4 in the last steam sale and to my surprise the game sometimes have an awful drop to 48 FPS while playing, I believe my system is more than sufficent to play this game from 2014.

The game works on a steady 60 fps most of the time but the drops are very painful.

I even tried to test playing on the lowest settings but still, when looking to a distance view or even in the forest, combat and etc the FPS drops! The temps are regular.

You know what can I do?!

x i5 4690 @ 3.5GHz
x EVGA GTX970 Superclocked
x Corsair Vengeance 2 x 8GB 1600Mhz
x Gigabyte H97M Gaming 3
x SanDisk SSD 120GB | WD 1TB
x Coolermaster G700w PSU

Found this, not sure if relevant now being a post from 2015 whether theres still a problem with cuda cores, but worth a shot.

I'm having the same issue myself, my MSI GTX 970 4G is having terrible framerate issues in both Far Cry 4, DA Inquisition, and Rome II. Processor is staying under half usage most of the time, yet my frame rate was dipping down in the 20's in both games whilst my GPU wasn't going about 40% usage. All my system drivers are up to date and firmware are flashed.

It's almost like the video card is stuck in energy saver mode and won't scale up to meet the needs of the game. One thing another person...


Make sure you are running the game in full screen mode.
