Hi guys,
So I recently upgraded to a GTX 960 and here are my current specs:
GTX 960 4GB ASUS Strix 4GB edition
8GB DDR3 RAM
AMD APU 6800K @ 4.1 GHZ
Antec 550W PSU
So When i play Far Cry 4, the FPS drops to around 35-40 in the cities. Now the thing is GPU and CPU usage also drops at the same time, indicating that something is bottlenecking. I thought it was the CPU but CPU was being used at 50-60% and GPU around the same. RAM is being used at 3.5-4GB.
I run this at 1440x900 resolution ultra/very high @55-60 ish FPS otherwise and the FPS improve a little when i lower the settings. THE GPU usage is at a full 90-99% when im outside playing at 60FPS.
I also have a 10 year old hard drive which I may think is the culprit. Its a Hitachi 7200 RPM HDD and the hard drive works perfectly fine, giving USB 2.0 transfers of 24-32 MBPS.
I'm also able to run Witcher 3 @ultra 45-55 fps and High 55-60 fps.
What do you guys think is the problem? Is it just poor optimization of game or my hardware?
Fully updated FC4, Windows and Nvidia drivers BTW.
