Hey y'all. After installing the new drivers I'm getting only 50% usage of my GPU´s with FC4. Any help would be great. I'm dipping all the way into the high 30´s for frame rate. Totally sucks.
Same for me, BF.4.exe works better but brings to flickering, anyway using alt+enter (exiting and entering full screen mode) 3 or 4 times suddenly fixes the issue. There is still some stutter here and there but that's a problem of the game itself, infact people with SLI setups have always complained as well.
Far cry 4 is a hopeless case. The engine sucks and never playes well with crossfire/sli. Check your cpu usage and you will see 1 core maxing 100% usage and that's bad. Ubicrap never learns to optimize games. They always makes buggy piecie of crap games. I still like the gameplay etc etc. Imagine if they optimize the game and you get smooth fps then it will be amazing game. Also try decreasing the geometry details. That's what helped me out a bunch
Guys above me have covered it pretty much OP, sorry about that. Few tweaks you can try on the game though that might make it perform better. First disable all AA. Turn off all Nvidia GameWorks features. Secondly try these game tweaks as show in these two videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9eD043D56c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8owGeKJAU34
I'll give these things a try. My CPU usage barely gets to 30% on any core and it bounces around from core to core with the other cores around 20%. I don't have AA enabled. As far as Nvidia GameWorks features, which ones are they? I thought, according to the beta details, that there is a profile for FC4 and figured that would work.
Okay so my GPU usage is similar to the OPs and it seems like crossfire is not at 100% yet but I'm not having any framerate issues and my performance is WAY better than it was with 14.12.
It does work, but it won't overcome any existing issues with the game such as those exhibited in my post above.
Using AFR friendly will make GPU usage jump to 95% on both gpus. I havent played fc4 too much but why don't u use it ?
I,ve found a way to fix crossfire for me. I,m using bf4.exe, with VSR at 1800p maxed except game works things (game looks superb). Whit Radeon pro I forced super tile, forced smaa (not using any aa in game) and set process to high priority. I've also followed settings suggested by Matt. At this point you may experience flickering but it's possible to fix this by enabling vsync in game and limiting frame rate with RTSS at 59 or 60. That,s it now I have 60 fps everywhere and just a little stuttering at moments when driving very fast.
Mine ran better with only using 2 GPU. I was getting 65+ frame rates at 1440p maxed settings. Now with only 50% usage on the GPU's I'm only getting mid 40's.
I want to share with you my experience with FC4. I tried a lot of configurations and now I find one which is perfect. -Driver Catalyst 15.3 Beta -AFR Friendly, because FC4 profile doesn't work good for me, bad GPU usage and low number of FPS - FC4 version 1.8.0, because official ubisoft forum is full of thread in which is clear that last patch, 1.9.0, causes flickering for Nvidia and AMD users. - Ultra Configuration, but without Anti-Aliasing, SMAA is bugged and MSAA is too heavy. With this tips, I5 2500K and 2x6970 I have always 60 FPS or more, for any information ask me!
15.3 puts my mem and gpu core on -50 in CCC Overdrive. Maybe that's the problem. have to set it up to 100 % on every boot. crossfire 290.
