far cry 3 best fov and microstutter fix?

[ramthegamer]

i'm having a problem with the fov in this game , at 75 i still get headaches of the near fov, on a 19,3 inch 16:10 screen plus experiencing microstutter, what to change in the xml file? any tips, thanks.

well im sure there wont be much you can do for a gt220 has stuttering goes...

The FOV slider goes to 110. No need to mess with the ini. I would go for 90-95 on a 16:10.

What I did to get rid of my stuttering was:
- Turn water quality to medium or less
- PostFX quality to high or less.
- Turn of MSAA in-game and use nvidia inspector to apply AF and AA.

use msi afterburner fps limiter, it fixed my stutter even though my fps already locked half of the refresh rate..

Install on SSD !

[BetA]

hmm, got kinda the same prob..

No matter what FOV i use its the same picture here..
And all the heads ar squasched, means wrong ratio size?
only in wondowed mode it shows fov and ratio correct..

any tips?

What AA bits do you use for that ?

Or do you enhance the application setting ?

Didn't apply any bits and it is in fact working (no distinct jaggies around). Overriding with 8x CSAA and 2x Sparse Grid Supersampling.

I got a s27a950d 120 hz panel i use 75.9 fov anything higher then 80 makes me sick, it looks like tunnel vision effect i dont like it.

DO NOT need SSD!!! My PC without SSD works fine for this game and I got pure-smooth motion (= 60 fps + 60 Hz + v-sync enabled) at 1280x720@0xAA with all max settings (except post FX: "high" due to not like motion blur).

i play also on 1280*800 with high settings, shadows to medium, post fx low, applied 4x AF and 2x supersample on nvidia inspector, but still got little bit of stutter.

Your low-end card (GT 220) causes stutter - I recommend that you buy GTX 560 Ti w/ 448 shaders, 570 or 660 non-Ti, if you want DX11 with all max settings at your 1280x800.

ATTENTION to PSU - please you get new PSU:
GTX 560 Ti 448 or GTX 660 non-Ti - 550 W
GTX 570 - 600 W

EDIT: oh, sorry! this game recommends any Intel quad-core CPU.

Stutter fixes so far :

- Water on medium
- Vsync on 1 ( on 2 it will lock your FPS on 30 or so, except if you have a 120hz monitor )
- GPU buffer on 3

Give it a try. If nothing works, wait for new drivers i guess.

May not be solution for GT 220 because that's for SLi only. loool

number of GPU buffer = number of videocards (if SLi then 2; if Tri-SLi then 3...)

......
No, just no. It's the same as "maximum number of pre-rendered frames" found in your GPU control panel.

[Dorak]

I did not understand what he said but anyway, all of this is done in the game and you don't need SLI for it.

[Grillob3]

GamerProfile.xml MaxFps="60" Gfx_Maxfps="60"
add this after showfps="1"

That fix pretty much all the microstuttering.

got it from here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prBEYLzlEC8

[AmD6000]

this game have too much microstutter, whatever i do on the settings won't work to fix the issue

[Veteran]

I use 78 FOV on 1920*1200 16:10.

[gamerk2]

Lower graphics settings. Probably the GPU skipping frames due to work overload. The FPS over a second timespan may average 60 FPS, but if you look at the frame by frame latencies through FRAPS, you may see a graph that looks something like this:



Microstutter is nothing more then excessive frame latency, which indicates that while, on average, you can attain 60 FPS, frames that require a heavy amount of work to process will cause frames to be dropped. This indicates that the hardware simply can not keep up, even if the average number of frames per second hovers around 60.

tl;dr: If you have microstutter, reduce settings.

i got a terrible sickness while playing earlier, so i maxed the fov and i believe it's helped, i also turned brightness down in-game.
there's a vid showing how changing the fov makes things different, it's not very well done but it does indeed show it changing, it wouldn't change however if you're trying to set it in game with your config set to 'read only'.
FOVScaleFactor="1.50" is max(110)

why are you playing at such a low res, you have a crappy, eye burning crt that should do most resolutions or does it push you out of date card to much?

SILENCE because my eyes got very well - Samsung CRT monitor is very good anti-glare!! I want 720p due to like too pure-smooth because higher resolution screen to 1080p or 1920x1200 may drop (1/2) performance. - I can't get 2nd GTX 480 SLi for 1920x1200 due to crisis.

I'm comfortable with fov 80 & mouse sensitivity @ 1
when you drive and pick up speed the fov increases, it pretty cool tbh, but sure dunno what the hell was happening but i was sick as a dog yesterday and some of day before due to this game, first time i ever been hit with hardcore motion sickness while playing, i'm usually a sufferer of eye strain but this has been a first.

[SLI-756]

now using mouse sensitivity 1.25 & fov 1.25 both set from the config, feels just right.
