Far Cry 4 PC performance thread

Possibly caused by the DOF, see AC Unity where my framerate tanks to 30fps.
It runs surprisingly well for me. I get 40-60 fps with everything maxed out on Ultra @ 1080p. Looks stunning, and more important: consistent. 50fps average with minor drops to 40. I expected less after Unity's team.
4670K @ 3.4 GHz stock speed
R9 280X (3GB) stock
8GB 1600Mhz RAM
Hopefully people with similar specs have a better impression now.

does this game support sli?
certainly it does or will. FC3 , Blood Dragon both did quite well.
Oh, thanks!

Im seeing on steam say the game unlocks in 9 hours, thats about 6pm EST.
Is that correct?

Thus far I'm getting 35~40fps during gameplay. Nvidia's current Far Cry 4 profile is virtually empty so that's with a single 2GB 670. VRAM usage has peaked at just under 2GB (2031MB to be precise).
Specs:
2600K @ 4.6GHz
8GB DDR3-1600
2x slightly overclocked 2GB 670s
Win7 x64
Settings:
1680x1050, Nvidia preset albeit with SMAA instead of 4x TXAA.
Not yet.

Not sure if my 660 TI is up for the task on this one. Might be able to run a mix of high and medium.
Similar specs and I can say that the game is definitely playable.
FX-8320
GTX 760 2GB
8GB DDR3
120GB SSD
Min - 31
Max - 62
Avg - 47
@1080p ultra settings with shadows on medium and SMAA
On a side note, is it just me or is the motion blur really bad? I tried playing a bit with it on but it was way too much blurring.
25-30fps with 660 on Ultra without Fur, no AA

This is amazing. So many options to choose from and I heard it runs great. I bought 4 AAA PC games this month so I have no money left, lol.

Aww, I don't think using an Australian connection to unlock early works with just UPlay. I got FC4 for free from buying a 970, and I was hoping that I could employ my same Steam/Origin trickery to get the game today, but it looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Is anyone getting the Uplay error "Failed to start download"?
I can't download it at all.

If so, yay For colored shadows!
Ta, I'll edit the OP accordingly.
Edit:
Yeah, I tried enabling/disabling custom D3D support and enabling/disabling 64-bit support, as well as a mix of the two options, but nothing would take.

Yikes....yaaa gonna have to pass on this for now I think.
Really? That sucks. I recently found out that was what was causing my BF4 to stutter horribly as well. I should probably stop my policy of having it always running.
Might have to go back to fraps and just get FPS info.

Try stealth mode in the RTSS Settings, that could work.
edit: ah you already tried that :/
did you try to disable steam and uplay overlays?

30fps on Ultra @ 1080p for a 660 is excellent performance, seems about right for the power of the card.
Hoping I can run this with my GTX 670 2GB on Ultra with 45+ fps. There seems to be a pretty large IQ difference between Ultra and High, so I definitely want to be able to use Ultra.

Hoping that sli profile is released soon
Nah, didn't think to try that, but now that I've ran around the game with FRAPS running and checked Afterburner for VRAM usage stats I'm not particularly bothered.

Just use the Far Cry 3 one
sounds solid. fc3 was.
No good.

Yep. Tons of people on official forums are talking about it as well. Nobody is getting a reply from customer service, but that is hardly surprising. Hoping they just have to activate something when the launch patch hits, but realistically I will be happy if I can play the game by the weekend.

Oh, dear, that's disappointing. I don't suppose we can expect a fix for this?

Well, 8 hours and 45 minutes.
oh snap.
What a nice little surprise.
I guess I'll take a break from not playing Halo MCC cause i can't find any matches and play some PC far cry tonight.
This seems to happen to me with a lot of (DX11) games.
The solution I've found to work every time is to close MSI Afterburner, open the game then alt+tab and open Afterburner.

So, if I'm able to play Far Cry 3 at high settings (900p, mostly maxed except shadows, AO, AA and Post FX) at 60fps (or +/- 50fps on 1080p) can I expect the same kind of experience with Far Cry 4 or is the game way more demanding than 3?

Anyone running a 770?
A few question about these:
Is it ordered from lowest perf. cost to highest? Which one is most optimal?
What is that?

If they haven't yet I'm sure they will, the values for it are in the config file so it can be changed there for now.
I'm more curious about the view model fov, had to unpack, edit every weapon's file then repack for the last game.
Of course not.
Perf wise SMAA<TXAA=MSAA.
Optimal depends on your tolerance to various IQ related things.
