Giagbyte G1 GTX970 not perfoming as it should in Farcry 4

Why settle for locked 60 FPS though when your card can do better? Mine will go far beyond that on 1080p I have Vsync off, not touched Nvidia control panel or Adv settings.

I have read that tearing can be issue but I have not seen any of this, possibly because whenever I start the game it runs in a Window so I have to ALT + ENTER each time which could cure the tearing (who knows).

I've also modified my gamerprofile file but I didn't change the mip loading thingy as it kinda messes up the textures. You can also increase the number of pre-buffered frames to 3 in the nvidia control panel, that also helps a fair bit. Anyways, the game ran like a nightmare when I launched it for the first time and it's still not ideal.

I've not noticed any textures messed up but I'll keep an eye out and revert it back if I see it. Will also try the pre buffered frames in control panel. Cheers.

I use v sync in every game I play as I absolutely hate screen tearing. Tried it with it off and it actually felt smoother with it on for me. V sync seems to split opinion, I always use it.

May sound like a silly question, but have you downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers?

The framerate has to be in sync with your monitor's refresh rate. If it's not, you're bound to get screen tearing. It can be really bad or relatively minor depending on the game but I absolutely hate it. Besides, forcing your GPU to push more frames than your monitor can hande won't make any tangible performance difference so there's just no point in doing it.

I'm not sure that counts with FC4. Despite being sponsored by nVidia, it runs better on AMD cards!
