Hello, Your setup looks solid with the i9 9900ks, 2080 Super, 16GB 3200 series RAM, and an SSD drive. The game runs on a dedicated SSD, which helps performance. In your configuration file you turned off post-processing effects since they added unwanted motion blur and depth-of-field artifacts. When you run the game in ultra settings despite these effects, frame rates hover between 60-70 FPS, dropping to around 50 FPS or lower in heavily polluted scenes at 1080p. Your CPU stays busy at about 60% utilization for a game this old, while your GPU is around 40-50%. All drivers are current and you’re not experiencing issues with other titles. Is the problem coming from a specific port or setting? Please don’t feel pressured to change drivers unless necessary. Thanks ahead!
This game works well on older systems and is quite efficient. Are you certain you weren’t using demanding background processes, such as Obs?
The GPU at 50% performance is clearly too low. The system should operate smoothly at over 100 frames per second in 1080p resolution.
Consider if the GPU is simply reducing its speed significantly since the 2080 Super would be excessive for this title at 1080p. The RX 5700 XT has faced issues with downclocking when running games at 1080p. I achieved maximum performance at a locked 1080p 60 fps using a GTX 970 and an Xeon E3-1231v3 (4C/8T). Your setup likely handles that well. You might want to test it in 4K or 1440p where downclocking isn't as critical.
Far Cry 3 performs poorly on older hardware. I've tested it on a GTX 750 Ti, which ran smoothly at higher settings, but struggled with the R9 390 and GTX 1070 Ti. The RTX 2070 Super seems to cause performance issues. Try setting graphics to maximum and increasing resolution. Ensure your monitor supports over 60 fps; higher frame rates help. Keep CPU usage lower than GPU usage—ideally under 50%. If both are similar, the GPU is likely lagging. Your CPU probably can't keep up, slowing down the graphics. You might need a better GPU or upgrade your card. I’ll check it out once I have the new X570 board from Amazon. I plan to upgrade to a 3700x in a few days.
@CuzinEd your update seems quite chaotic. I’m not causing any delays and the claim about my monitor handling 60 FPS is pretty unrealistic. Actually, the card isn’t slowing down. I tested the game in 4K with identical settings just to confirm the same outcome. No background processes were running. I really want top performance, so almost nothing should be happening in the background.
The only issue here is your own. Your CPU shouldn’t be running at high levels. The way you called my post a mess and said something foolish is really annoying. My post is okay. You should try consoles again because you sound like a clumsy console player. You clearly can’t handle PC gaming or fixing PC problems. Your CPU is an i7 6700 and your GPU is a 2070 Super. Your CPU usage stays below 60, maybe around 45-50%. Your GPU can reach up to 60%, but it’s an old game and won’t be that demanding on a 1080p display. It shouldn’t have your CPU usage that high either. You have a better CPU than I do. Just play it on a simpler system. It suits you better.
Hey, everything okay? Just making sure the point was clear. That’s why I asked this question. Your message came across as messy because it ended up showing you didn’t read my post at all. Nothing wrong with playing on consoles—no need to upset me. From what you said, it seems like you’re not well versed in PCs, so you might not be the best fit here. I’d really appreciate it if you stopped using this forum; it’s better for both of us.
No, "He Bye Far Cry 3 Because Of Pyrocynical" isn't a recognized phrase or title. It might be a mix-up or a misunderstanding. Could you clarify what you're referring to?
