FC3 Lag

[Quadrider10]

so just built my gaming rig, and im having problems with FC3 lag. its really only this game.

i checked my FPS, and im getting between 50-80FPS. but for some reason, its stuttering A LOT! no matter that graphics, it stutters. but if i have been in am area for a long time, the stutters do not happen, and its smooth as butter. as soon as i go to a new area, it stutters again. and repeat.

the only thing is that im running only ONE stick of 4gb memory rite now. otherwise all specs are below!

Is this in the Online or offline game mode?

Edit: And did you try running the game at lower settings like I asked in your other thread?

If it's happening in both modes try running it on minimum settings to test it.

Quad, I found this on a game site, it may help you

When playing Far Cry 3 on DirectX 11, you can’t disable Ambient Occlusion via in-game settings — you can only switch between different types of rendering techniques. In order to disable it completely, which would improve performance at the cost of enhanced shading visuals, follow these steps:

Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 3
Right click on GamerProfile.xml and select Open With -> Notepad.
CTRL+F and search for SSAOLevel. Set SSAOLevel=”0″ and save the file

alright i set everything to the lowest possible settings, and it still lags and chops. not as bad tho.

maybe its because of the ram?

If it is through steam I would verify game integrity cache
scan it for a bad file usually that will resolve the issue or your 560 ti needs to be optimized
better

I would look into the game integrity if it is bad it will download the file and replace and that might make the stutters go away remember steam has online and offline issues as well

I do believe there were 3 patches for that game, check it out.

Now, I played on a lesser rig w/o problems so it seems to me that would I try is the following... no harm, just waste of a little time.
Download the patches first, not through the game but direct source and save on a local temp folder.
Download the latest drivers for your audio and Video
Uninstall the game completely, before you restart...do the same with video and audio drivers
Get into safe mode
Run CCleaner once you are there... clean temp files and Registry
Back to windows and let windows install generic drivers for audio and video
Go to Temp folder and install newer versions of your drivers... don't forget to Run as Administrator.
Restart if needed.
Install fresh FC3 game... restart for good measure
Install Patch 1.0 and restart
Ditto with all the other patches
Try the game with normal setting or the settings that game wants to give you, only change the Video Resolution so it is in your native settings.
