Farcry 3!

I'm surprised that i haven't touched the game today..

 

Yeah me too, something's stopping me from wanting to play it I'm just not sure what.

 

Here ya go. Also tried 1620p downsampled but it hits 1030 or so.

Spoiler

 

The HUD.

 

Lol, why would a HUD stop anyone playing a game, that's the silliest thing I've heard since someone told me they were unable to watch TV if there was a logo, or DOG as I think its called.

 

Just thought I'd chime in here. The SLI bit fix had no effect for me, but Misha's trick worked. My second GPU finally kicked in, and I got a significant FPS boost as a result. I went from 30-50 FPS to 60-90.

Pics/settings inside:

...but now I suddenly get huge FPS drops whenever I shoot an enemy or animal using anything but explosives or arrows :bang:

 

Lol this game eats VRAM a lot, currently on 875 MB usage with High preset. Getting 60 fps with Vsync on 1 Frame setting. Nice nice nice!

 

^Nah that's nothing...Crysis 2 uses nearly 2GB....

 

This game, in my opinion, is the best shooter this year. There is so much things to do and feel of the game is just so great.

Playing with gtx 680 @ Max, nvidia CP msaa 4x, HBAO, vsync on 1080p, 310.64 beta drivers and getting 60fps for the most part with the lowest I saw being 55fps during highly populated towns or big firefights.

 

Playing this, as in roaming around the island, I just feel the need to load up FC2 and play around in the african jungle as it just seems so more alive than this one.

But for me this game really shines when doing the storyline parts as the acting is top notch and character's eyes have to be some of the best i've seen, really make them look alive.

HUD dont annoy me anymore but really strange that they didnt go with something like FC2. the wildlife really adds to combat, i dont know how many times i've gotten mauled by something just as im about to snipe a fella in the noggin. (fecken lizards). Tigers can go suck some large ones too, lol.

All in all, if i stick to the storyline parts i find this to be my fav game this year after MP3, but if roaming around well then things get avg real fast.

Oh and performance is rubbish, is anyone else having issues (sarcasm)

Still convinced that fc3 has rez issue the same as GRFS had on launch though.

Hooowww?

 

Just did a clean install of 310.64. I still can't force Nvidia AA. I set it to 8xMSAA + 8xSGSSAA in Inspector (MSAA & FXAA disabled in-game) and the fps is the same and there is clearly no AA.

Someone said the AA is broken, some of you guys say you've successfully forced AA driver-side. I'm about to tear my hair out!

 

Well for one I'm using Nvidia's MSAA in the Control panel. It's WAY more friendly with performance. Also, I have disabled Alpha Coverage and used Transparency Multisampling in Nvidia Control Panel and have Nvidia Vysnc forced.

 

If you have 2x 680x and you're really concerned about AA, just play the game at 2160p (downsampling) That's the only form of AA I have. Looks quite good:

Found this, funny stuff.

Well this was so cool I will NEVER forget it my first MP experience.

THANK YOU UBISOFT, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST AT RELEASING FLAWLESS GAMES!

The ingame AA options are broken. Turn off the MSAA options in the game until the next driver release.

In the meantime, you have to point your Nvidia control panel to the farcry3 executable (there's two of them in the farcry 3 folder... a standard one and one for DX11) and set AA manually from there on that profile.

-should- work...

 

Broken? They work. When I turn on 4xmsaa in-game, it handles AA as I would expect. Just a bit blurry for my tastes.

 

added the dx11 exe to the file.

When you are forcing AA though (whether it be for dx9 or dx11) are we supposed to add bits from FC2? or just force AA without adding the bits?

 

Ok seriously guys this is like my fourth post, can anyone ****ing help me? I've had the second crash and one BSOD in the last 15 minutes. I can't take any of this anymore. All other games work fine, beta drivers were causing more crashes so I'm using the official drivers. Playing the game on DX9 since it was unplayable for me in DX11. PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS?

 

What's the BSOD code?
