Hello i have the MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC and oddly enough (to me) i cannot run Farcry 4 at recommended performance at ultra settings :/ I actually cannot even run everything on high (according to nvidia geforce experiance)

My question is, what is the best settings for farcry 4 with my gpu and what exactly makes my gpu the bottleneck? Is it the 2g vram?

Kinda dumb, the system requirements say a 680 and my gpu is well over that. Why devs cant post the recomended at ultra/60fps is beyond me


ALSO I would like to play with nvidia 3d vision (i have the super expensive monitor/glasses for stereoscopic set up), what is something you generally turn down when using 3d instead?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that recommended settings are not the ultra/60FPS settings. Also, check again: the 680 is actually more powerful than the 760 :p

There's nothing in particular holding your card back; it's just not meant for ultra level gameplay. It should fare very well at medium, though, with some options set to higher settings.

If you want to run 3D on only that one card, I'd go to very low settings, possibly even a lower resolution. 3D literally doubles GPU work, so you'd normally need a more powerful system for that.

Yes, but that doesn't mean every chip in the new series is more powerful :) The 760 actually uses the same chip as the 680, the GK104, but it's cut down significantly.

As a (very rough) rule of thumb, each card is roughly equivalent to the card in the next series with the middle digit one lower. So the 680 is roughly equivalent to the 770 (exactly the same in this case, actually), and the 780 is roughly equivalent to the 970 (the 970 actually edges out in this case).

Oh ok cool! Thanks you helped me out a lot haha :p

One last thing, how does one determine a games specs for 3D? Like I dont understand how to find a games maxed out requirments, let alone for 3D. I dont understand why this stuff has to be so gray, makes it difficult for people to do stuff on their own

I think it might be because there isn't really a "maxing out". Sure, I can set all the game settings to maximum, but what about resolution? I can theoretically just keep increasing that, so the game isn't maxed out. I can also go multi-monitor, so the game isn't maxed out. And what about future graphics cards the devs don't know about? In theory, it is safer for them to just put out a minimum requirement and a recommended system, I think.

For 3D, your best bet is looking at online benchmarks of the games you want to play, and choose whatever graphics card does twice the framerate you want. This is because 3D systems literally halve your framerate (one goes to each eye), so you'll need twice the framerate to achieve the same smoothness in animation. In general, 3D requires pretty strong hardware, usually with dual card systems.

Ya when i say maxed out, i just mean 1920 res, all ultra settings at 120 frames (for 3D)

3D vision is no where near good enough to spend that kind of money. I have played on older games with 3D and it honestly doesnt make a huge difference, besides getting a headache and such.

It could just be my gpu isnt good enough though. I wish the 3D was actually like in the theatres, for me things just have more depth but it doesnt really "immerse" you into the game.

Thanks for the reply by the way!

Yeah, 3D is kinda interesting. I have used it on my projector, and I find it does work well for me with that screen size. But it's for very specific games; mostly single player RPG. I'm still glad I spent the money on it that I did, but I can see it not being worthwhile for everyone.

The 760 is definitely not designed for stereoscopic 3D, though. They expect people to use higher end systems for this kind of task. It should work out with the older games, though, so it could be nice to give them a fresh spin.

If anything, try seeing if you can run the monitor as a 120Hz display. I find that is a great way to improve gaming experiences. The 760 might still limit you for that, but that's something you can upgrade in the future.
