I can't even achieve 60fps on 1080p ultra setting on far cry 5 with a 1080ti

I have the latest drivers for my gpu, is there any other drivers that could help?

And how would I format and why would I format?

Ight, thank you but, my problem is keeping it at 60 which I want to cap at because if it goes higher I have screen tear.

No, no I have seen other people on youtube playing through far cry 5 with a 1080ti and they can get around 90 fps.
 


That is because they have vsync off. You want to make it stay at 60fps to prevent screen tearing and vsync locks the framerate at 60. I do not see the issue here.

The issue is that i'm dropping to the 40s with a 1080ti while in the benchmarks on youtube have minimums of around 70 and I don't know why.
 


That can happen. Far cry 5 once again is a cpu heavy game and on an older 3770 like yours a drop can happen from time to time.

When did you say that you are dropping to 40s?

opps sorry I had to rewrite it because something glitched when I tried to post it the first time and I was remembering wrong, I fixed my original description, again sorry about that.
 
if you play with vsync on, your frame gen will be 16.6ms, it's expected to have a complete image generated every 16.6ms, once the image read then create the next one, it also lowers gpu load on powerful gpul. because the program will tell the card to render, only once every 16.6 ms, if one frame accidentally take 17 ms, you will be 1 frame short, it will replay that frame and use this one in the next frame, you get a stutter, your fps goes to 30, then back up to 60.

if you play with vsync off, your graphic card will try to render as much as your cpu allows, your frame gen will be about 11.1 ms (1/90fps by info supplied), one frame take 17 ms, doesn't affact your fps much, your screen will take w/e is available and you get tearing. however your fps will be higher.

But, wouldn't it still dip down to the 40s

Vsync caps your FPS to 60 so you shouldn't be wondering "why don't I get 80FPS?" or even comparing your system to others that don't have Vsync enabled. That is only going to have you going in circles. If you are getting bad tearing I'd upgrade to a gsync 144Hz display and preferably 1440p. With Gsync you don't get the lag dropped from 60 FPS and you don't get the tearing going above it. A GTX 1080 Ti is not a card you buy for 60Hz/1080p as you won't get your money's worth out of the card at all.

If you're playing on ultra and getting FPS drops that is because your processor is probably experiencing heavy load. Certain settings on ultra can be highly CPU intensive.

- Get a better display that doesn't tear past 60Hz and turn off Vsync.

- Overclock the processor you have or just buy a new better CPU like an 8700k or 8600k and a new motherboard and get fewer drops.

- Figure out which setting is in game causing FPS drops and turn it down.
