Performance issues at high settings on Far Cry 3 at 1440p with an RTX 2060
When playing on ultra, your game runs smoothly at about 55-80 fps. Switching to low settings brings it up to 80-120 fps. It might seem minor, but even at 1440p it’s quite limited for an Xbox 360 game (especially with a RTX 2060). Any tips?
Adjust CPU priority to high in Task Manager during play, it resolves the problem.
The Far Cry 3 engine is primarily based on a single thread, so it might be worth adjusting the BIOS and disabling SMT to check if performance improves. Consider running the game on a single core instead of one thread, and ensure resolution scaling is not enabled. Also, reduce the MSAA settings to x2 or x4. I tested this with a 980tis configuration a few years ago and only achieved about 110 FPS due to engine constraints.
