Why can't I run FC3 on maxed out?

mrweaponx · May 3, 2013

Here is my build:

[Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor]

[MSI B75MA-E33 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard]

[G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory]

[Seagate Momentus XT 750GB 2.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive]

[EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti SC 2GB Video Card]

[Antec VSK-3000 MicroATX Mid Tower Case]

[Thermaltake TR2 600W ATX12V Power Supply]

1600x900 Monitor as well.

I see people with the same kind of build maxing out games like FC3 or BF2 on 1900x1080 and getting 40-70 fps. Why can't I do this on 1600x900?

Ur GPU isn't good enough, u don't have a SSD, and it doesn't look like you've done any overclocking.

Your GPU is not powerful enough. If you have seen others say they are maxing out those games with equivalent components then they are lying.

senkasaw :

Will a 670 or 680 run it?

Do you think the 670 or 680 will do?

Here is what you should expect from different cards in Far Cry 3: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/far_cry_3_graphics_performance_review_benchmark,1.html

Pay particular attention to the Graphics (VGA) performance Recording Level and IQ settings page. They didn't even run at ultra, and coverage was set to normal instead of advanced. Oh and their CPU is overclocked a little bit as well I think. 3.75ghz.

here is a far cry 3 bench: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/far-cry-3-performance-benchmark,3379-6.html

To get good framerates at max setting you are going to need a dual card setup. I have 2 680's and I can't quite max it out (almost, but not quite, and this game does not play nice with sli/xfire, took some major tweaking to get it running smoothly)...of course I game at 1440p. At 1600 x 900 you wont need quite as much beef. But you will still need some. A single 670 or 680 (I would go with the 670...better cost/performance ratio) should get you great framerates with only sacrificing stuff you mostly wont notice.
