Struggling to get just about 60fps on my GTX 660 and i5 4440. Even when it's above 60, it still feels stuttery and with a good deal of input latency. I could mess around with vsync and pre-rendered frames but I'm just a bit fed up at this point having to spend hours tweaking every PC game so it can feel halfway decent.

Andy, is the Farcry 4 GameReady driver available yet for download? I tried GFE and the site and the link in your article and it says the page doesn't exist.
It's not a "PC port", dude. PC was the lead platform for this game and it comes with a lot of superior graphical features not available on the consoles.

That's because it doesn't go live until tomorrow.
Someone in the AMD Guru3D forum is reporting that a new driver with Far Cry 4 optimizations is going to be released tomorrow, hoping it improves performance.
Edit:
It's confirmed by AMDMatt a few days ago over at Overclockers.
Hoping they actually release it tomorrow.

Gameplay runs fine about 40fps but cutscenes are dropping to 25-28fps i assume its the strong dof in the cutscenes is there anyway to disable it?
This game looks incredible, will be waiting for the SLI fix in order to play it smoothly at 1440/120hz with G-sync. So much for bullshots, this game is 100% legit on PC
How can we get rid of the mouse acceleration? it's brutal
I seem to not be able to use RTSS with any of the new Ubisoft games, older far crys and assassin's creeds work fine but with the new ones it just crashes the second i open it. Hmmm

Why does the mouse control feel like ass? Acceleration is off and it still doesn't feel responsive
jacksepticeye

Yeah it's really annoying. It's really apparent as soon as you start moving, like the mouse is pulling against you or something. I'm sure there's a fix in the files somewhere that will get posted

So, is there a way to skip the start up movies?, really getting on my nerves having to sit through them each time i start the game - this is related to PC performance because its a loading time tweak

Awww yeah. 1 hour remains.
RTSS works if I disable in-game uplay stuff in unity.
Anyone know about the mouse acceleration he mentions? wtf?

Does this game have proper 16:10 support or is 16:10 have black bars?

Member
Yeah it's horrible. There's a setting in the menu to turn it off but it's still there after anyway.

Game appears to have proper PS4 controller support as well, with button prompts and everything. Nice!

Fixed the mouse acceleration/smoothing issue. open GamerProfile.xml in your documents/mygames/far cry 4 folder. Search for "smoothness" and set it to 0
If any of the acceleration stuff is set to "1" turn that to "0" too. Pretty simple fixes and now everything controls well

It did not. Hopefully coming soon.
On a second note, get the latest patch. Improves performance a lot, but I'm still getting a lot of stuttering with textures set to Ultra.
The new AMD driver are out they state up to 50% improvement in Far Cry 4 on single VGA, has someone with a AMD card, better if r9 290 like mine, tried it yet?

Holy shit, thanks for that! Gonna try it out now.

Thank you! Just in time!
Not getting quite as good performance out of my GTX970 rig that I was hoping for, but it's good for the most part. Ultra 1080p runs at 60fps for most of the time, but driving around fast for example makes it stutter. Also the very early mission where
made the framerate drop considerably.
the enemies attack the starting village or whatever

there are several candles on the table and you're facing the sun yet everything's so dark? weird.

Isn't that supposed to emulate a sun blinding effect?

Oh wow, FarCry 3 felt weird to me. I wonder if there is a similar setting. It kind of sucked my desire to play through it.
That's more reassuring. Glad you posted that before I updated to the current Beta driver
Awesome, nice.
Installing now...was done a while back but was having too much fun in AC:U.
AC:U sorta has just blown my expectations from big games now. Graphically anyway. Really immersive.

With my second 670 disabled (waiting on tomorrows SLI profile) the game is playing well above 30 at 1920x1200 w/
Trees relief disabled
Nvidia god ray enabled
Soft shadows enabled
Ambient oculsion = SSBC
Aliasing = SMAA
Textures = very high
Geometry = very high
All other options on Ultra
And
AlphaToConverge set to 0 in .XML
No complaints on this end. Looking forward to SLI pushing me over 60 tomorrow

At 1440p, GTX 980, i7-4770k, it runs perfectly playable with everything maxed, but I did drop the shadows to Ultra to smooth it out a bit. Mouse acceleration was disabled by default. I'll play around more, but it seems like bumping up the mouse sensitivity fixed most of my problems
Wow, the new AMD drivers have boosted performance massively. The only downside is they've disabled crossfire temporarily because apparently Ubisoft and them are working on some kind of performance patch.
At 1920x1200 with everything at ultra settings, plus 4xMSAA, I'm getting getting around 35 - 40fps with a single HD7970, before I wasn't getting more than 16fps at the same settings, pretty impressive performance increase.
I'm not sure if using AFR for crossfire still works with the new drivers, since they said it's been disabled for the time being, but I was able to get crossfire working with very good scaling before by using AFR mode. I was getting 60fps at 1920x1200, ultra settings and 4xMSAA and 40 - 50fps at 2720x1700 + 2xMSAA.
This game is some serious eye candy, absolutely gorgeous in motion.

I'm getting Uncharted 2 vibes from the setting.

How's this running on GTX780s? I'm running one of those along with a i7-4790K

uggghhh the trees. why hasnt ubi allowed pc users to use hraa? nvidia has txaa(assuming it works well in this title) but amd users are forced to use performance crushing adaptive aa(assuming it works)
The SMAA setting in this game takes care of the problem, but at the cost of excessive blur.
jacksepticeye
Member
Others will have to try for themselves to see if it's completely eliminated it but it certainly felt more responsive to me
On another topic, what's causing that blur when you move? If you look at trees standing still they're jaggedy looking but when moving a blur comes across everything smoothing it all out. It's not motion blur either cos that's off
I think it did. I remember hating the mouse controls for that at launch as well
Yeah I came straight from AC:U to this and while this would look fantastic any other time, it's hard live up to the lighting of AC:U

Any word on single GPU gains? I mean it runs almost 60 all the time or pretty close for me on ultra already but there's the sudden dips and stutters that piss me off.Should maybe read the article?
I'm sure once the official driver releases there will be some kind of improvement. It's why I'm downloading now, but waiting until these drivers tomorrow. That and I'm running Tri-SLi..
The latter.

1600p, game runs fast and steady with 2x290x.
Anyone have a fix however for the constant flashing? I bet its a driver thing, but would love to hear there is a quick fix
