    Whaa? 680s in SLI works fine for me. What drivers are you using? I'm on 310.64.

    The only thing thats got mine running smooth (with similar specs as you) is keeping inspector settings default, setting water to medium, post fx to low, msaa off, and hbao everything else maxed. Constant 60fps no drops and only one crash in about 4 hours of play...

    My game doesn't have sun-rays through the trees. I want them sun-rays. I'm running DX11, tweaked my XML a fair bit already, also running SweetFX.

    Is there a setting in the XML file that I can tweak to make the sun-rays shine between the leaves? And if so, how do I tweak to max that out? haha

    Setting D3D11MultithreadedRendering to "1" is crashing my game, the game is freezing and I have to end the process from task manager. I noticed the FPS is increased with this option enabled. Any ideas?

    This is the reason they removed this option in 1.01...

    Sometime they won't load for me. I have to reload the game a few times for them to appear...

    um, I downloaded it, extracted it to HDD, copied the entire contents to the /bin folder where the .exe file is and ran Far Cry through Uplay... and it worked.

    I take all the credit.

    (I also alt-tabbed during the game, changed settings in the settings.txt file and alt-tabbed BACK to the game to see that difference. Yup.)

    I think i got another Fix you may want to add OP.My gpu usage was crap,FPS around 30 - 38, SLI not working whatever fix i tried and even adding the suggested SLI flag ( wich i now dont even use) didn't do a thing.Untill..i noticed that i was running in Windowed Borderless mode ( wich apparantly was set automatically because i sure as hell didnt put it on borderless ),i changed this to fullscreen and voila,FPS at a Constant 60Fps,no dip whatsoever,might want to add..i just started playing and am just about 30m in the game.But i went from 30 - 38 FPs With a Hell of a lot of stuttering to a constant 60FPS by changing to Fullscreen.

    Forces the game to update every 1 or 2 frames. Use 1 unless you want to cap the framerate at half your display refresh rate, e.g. using 2 with a 60 Hz display will cap the framerate to 30 fps and a 120 Hz one will be capped to 60 fps.

    If you don't use custom sli flag, your performance will be bad everytime you shoot a gun over every surface.

    I don't seem to be having this issue tbh,fps drops with about 4 - 5 fps when shooting,hardly noticable.But that wasn't the point of my post btw,it was about the bad fps for me being related to not playing in fullscreen.
