Hello community,
I've recently bought Far Cry 5 and started playing with a friend. I realized this before while playing Fallout 4, but that game is created on an engine which just simply cannot be trusted, so I simply based some slight fps drops on the inferior engine. This is starting to get annoying though, and I would finally like to figure out what is going on. We started playing FC5 co-op, and I keep getting around 10-20 fps less than my friend. We pretty much both got exactly the same PCs (except the case and cooling) and settings both in-game and in the NVIDIA panel. I've heard this might be because of the CPU overheating or the speed might be fluctuating. To check this specifically I downloaded CPUID and ran the game. That seems to be just fine. I checked all the memory usage, kept an eye out on the temperature, nothing seems out of the ordinary.
We both run on Windows 10 64, MSI 980Ti, i7 4970k 4.0GHz, 16GB RAM 1600MHz DDR3, Z97 Gaming 5 Mobo and 750W Gold PSU. While he has better cooling, I still get an average of 60c on my GPU, 50c CPU and 55c Mobo while playing FC5. The usage does not usually go above 80% GPU, 70% CPU and I can't exactly remember RAM at the moment but it is low, had more during Fallout 4 gameplay. We also did not overclock anything.
I cannot figure out why this is happening, I lowered the settings to High from Ultra, and while it was running well for sometime, and it still runs OK sometimes, it mostly drops below 60 fps, unless I am in the middle of a field where I get 70-80 fps, and is just straight up annoying. Same place, same time, my friend gets 70-90 and 80-120.
Thanks for any help in advance!
