Good people,
Built my first gaming rig last week, so much of the technical stuff is still new to me. Anyhow, I am playing three games: Shadow of Mordor, Far Cry 4 and the graphics-intensive Crysis 3. Mordor and Crysis play on Ultra settings like a beaut, with no problems whatsoever. Far Cry is a different story...when I first booted it up, it has severe screen tearing, so I enabled Adaptive V-Sync which made that go away completely, BUT it still stutters a bit in fast-moving sequences.
I'm surprised that this game would do that and Crysis 3 plays great. Anyone have any ideas how to make FC4 a butter-smooth experience? Is it true that some games simply aren't optimized to play stellar on any PC?
