[SOLVED] Low FPS in Far Cry 5

[gamerguy289]

Hi, I get around 65/70, drops below 60 FPS. I have seen video's on youtube from people who have the same spec as me and they get 20 fps more. I have also seen a video who compared Single VS Dual channel ram. They had a incredible performance. Is this the problem?

SPECS:
GPU: Asus Turbo GTX 1070
CPU i7 7700k
RAM: 1 x 16gb 2400mhz
SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 500gb (not full)

I wouldnt trust these Youtube Videos since you cant be 100% sure that everything is the Same. What if they have overclocked the CPU or the Motherboard does have a Performance Booster build into the Bios that forces Higher CPU Clocks? If their hardware stays cooler then they could have higher boost clock speeds on their GPU.

What i want to say is that there are nearly endless options for why you have ~20 fps less in your game. Youtuber for Game or Hardware Review often have dedicated OS Drives for their Tests. One Drive/SSD Just for AMD CPU and NVidia GPU, one drive just for Intel SSD and Nvidia GPU etc.. These drives are just Windows + driver for the specific GPU model and CPU model and games... Nothing more. Nearly no programms run in the Background no other or old driver. Probably not even an antivirus software.

All these little reason can add up to

Is it worth getting a 2 x 8gb ram though? Will that increase FPS ?

Yes it will but unless you are able to sell your current Ram for the exact same price that a new 2x8gb kit would cost it probably isnt worth it.
