I'm having a seemingly generic issue with my system across a variety of different games that I'm having a tough time diagnosing, so I was hoping someone could help me narrow this down.
First, my system:
AMD FX 8350
Nvidia GTX 1060 (6gb)
MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard
8gb RAM (single channel)
The issue is that during these games, I will get random FPS "lag" when turning and looking in certain directions - the trend seems to be open-world games, but isn't only exclusive to that.
in some games, such as The Division, I'm able to get a sold 60 FPS after lowering some settings - this is fine, and expected behavior I would imagine.
In some games however (such as Far Cry 4), this terrible issue doesn't ever truly go away, no matter what settings I drop.
Other than getting rid of the issue, my other problem here is that surely (using Far Cry 4 as an example), the system listed above should be able to run this on Ultra without issues?
Please feel free to request anything else from me that may help diagnose this issue - I'm aware that I haven't really explained it very well, so please do bare with me (it's a difficult one to describe).
=================================================
Here is a list of games I've had issues with:
Fallout 4
This game has problems, but I still have the FPS drops in towns even after lowering shadows.
Far Cry 4
This issue only comes when travelling fast or in certain locations, but is still weird.
Sherlock Holmes and the Devils Daughter
I mean...seriously? This game looks like crap, and yet looking down the street dips me to 40fps.
Lords of the Fallen
No matter the graphics settings (Ultra or Low), I get 60fps for the most part but weird dips to 40/50fps when looking at certain things.
There are others, but I can't remember right now...I can always update this list later.
=================================================
Games I've had to lower the graphics for that I feel maybe I shouldn't have had to:
The Division
Runs at 60fps which is fine, but had to lower a few things.
Assassins Creed Syndicate
Doesn't hit 50fps, but doesn't look as twitchy as the rest.
The Witcher 3
Runs at 60fps most of the time, but has the same issue as Far Cry 4 sometimes when moving fast, and especially when in towns
Homefront: The Revolution
I can get this to run (for the most part) at 60fps and it looks very nice, but has the same issue as the others when the graphics are cranked up. Weird laggy twittchyness when looking in certain directions.
=================================================
On top of all of this, the other issue I have is that running at anything lower than 60fps (and I mean, ANYTHING) feels horrible...twitchy, laggy...like it's literally streaming to the TV and a far slower rate than my screen can manage (and I guess that IS what's happening, but it doesn't feel like this on the PS4 for example at 30fps) and so the image seems to jump constantly.
So...is there an issue with this system somewhere, or is simply the case that I expect it to be able to run better than it actually can? If so, what is letting it down?
