Superflower Leadex 750w

game is fully maxed out

Im experiencing low fps in far cry 3...this occurs when i go to places where there are 6+ enemies and the framerate goes from 40 to 60. This really bothers me as i usually get 70 to 90 fps and the difference is noticeable. I have tried adding the application to its profile in nvidia inspector and changed the SLI bit for Dx11.

Appreciate any help.

As ak195 said. Your system is fine and should be able to handle it. It may be drivers as he mentioned but besides that thermal throttling maybe something depending on how hot your system gets while playing Far cry 3, especially if you turn the settings up all the way.

More number of objects, mostly humans, the CPU needs more processing. As human/animals uses AI. Its also a problem came in SLI/CrossFire. Make sure drivers are updated. Also update you game, if it is not.
Overall, Your system specs is fine.
