Hello,
So I recently upgraded from a radeon 7870 to a powercolor R9 380. I thought this may solve my performance woes with far cry 4, but there was only a marginal performance increase. I'm not sure how to post a screenshot of my system specs, so I'll just list them:
*Phenom ii 1055t overclocked to 3.4 Ghz
*Radeon R9 380
*8 gigabytes of 653MHz (7-7-7-20) dual channel system memory
*An aging Asus M4A785T-M
I monitor both my cpu and gpu usage and notice that while looking at buildings, towns, or populated areas in Far Cry 4 my framerate, as well as GPU and CPU usage go DOWN. I don't understand how my graphics card will utilize less of its potential and stop pushing as many frames. All the while my CPU is only maxing out at around 50%. Is this an issue where IPC is slowing me down? Does FC4 only utlize two or three cpu cores at max?
As a side note, I've experienced the same issue with Far Cry 3 as well as with my radeon 7870 on both games. Both times my card would not be running at 100% and not pushing out a good frame rate. I'm not sure what else to do other than get a better CPU, which won't be happening for a long time.
Thank you all for any possible help on the situation
