Hello community,

Here i am again bothering with my inquietudes.

This time is about Crysis 3 FPS. I know there's a lot of threads about this, but since each system is and runs different, i supposed the best was to create a personal one.

Playing at 720p on Very High Textures, Very High Settings and FXAA activated.

The problem is that, when i'm in open spaces and i look through the whole scenario, i get FPS drops of 26/29 FPS. When looking to not-so-loaded spaces i get even 100+ FPS.

The question is: Is something i could do to optimize this to get, at least, a minimum of 35/40 FPS?

My system specs. and temps.:

Motherboard: M5A78-MLX3 S.AM3+ (58°C Max)
CPU: FX-6100 OC'd at 4.0Ghz (60°C Max)
GPU: Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X OC'd at 1050/1500 Mhz (68°C Max)
RAM: 2x 8Gb Kingston 1333 DDR3
HDD: Regular Toshiba 5400 1Tb
PSU: 650W (Don't know if real or not)
OS: Windows 7 (x64)

GPU Driver: 13.4 Suite (Should i install 13.6 Beta?)

Background applications: Catalyst (CCC), HWMonitor and Fraps.

THANKS A LOT!

Try lowering your AA settings, as they are typically what kills performance. Try MSAA or just AA at 2 or 4x.
Lowering texture resolution could also help, as I imagine at 720p there wouldn't be much benefit to higher res textures.

Its possible your encountering a CPU bottleneck. Try just lowering every setting to low, and go into an enviroment where your performance typically tanks. If it still does, then you know that something other than the GPU is holding back performance (and it aint the RAM).

Yes, i already tried lowering things a little and i definitely win FPS, but my question is if there's something to do to improve performance
on maximus configuration, or if you see any deficiency in my setup.

Thank youso much for the reply.

Any other sugestion please?

The real thing is that i'm trying to find out if i'll be able to play next-gen games properly (AC: Black Flag, Watch Dogs, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, GTA V, Battlefield 4, Thief, etc.).

Thank you so much and sorry for the insistence.

Looking at your rig, the CPU seems like the weak link to me. The way around that is too either overclock it further, or just drop in a better chip like an 8350 (and then overclock that :p).
For overclocking if you dont have one already, you will need a decent aftermarket heatsink.

A new monitor would also help, that 7950 runs games at 1080p quite well.

Thanks for the reply,

I supposed the thing was a CPU bottleneck, i have it overclocked to 4100Ghz, but i see no difference.

I'd like to change to one Vishera 8350 B.E., but my motherboard doesn't support por than a 95W CPU (FCK!), and i cant afford both new right now.

About the monitor, you're right, it would be better a full HD one, but since my monitor is an 32' HDTV and i use it from 2.5 meters of distance, i'm not really feeling the necesity of more resolution right now, not like my need of performance. Besides, changing my monitor means buying a 40' full-HD LED, and is not possible for me right now (i have a wife).

Thanks so much and i expect more opinions.
