Maybe you can help me out. I was enjoying FarCry 3 on my old video card, but I wanted FarCry 4 to be amazing, so I bought an EVGA 980 ti. Overkill? Maybe, but I’m tired of my computer struggling. But, it’s still struggling. I mean FC3 was improved, but it does a weird thing where it does a slow redraw of the scene when I first start the game. EVGA thought it was another component so were reluctant to let me RMA. I’ve moved over to my Wii U and just playing Super Mario Maker (which is fine, it’s great). But, I’d love to play Fallout 4 without hitches. IF my card is fine, which of these components needs to be replaced:
Intel i7-2600 @ 3.40GHz (can’t be OC’d)
8G RAM
Asus P8P67-M mobo
The processor and motherboard are at least 4 years old. I do get huge slowdowns with things like browsers if I’m doing something intensive, so I could have a memory issue.
Sorry to bug you, but this “super rig” has been lame since 2011 and I don’t know why. :(
Far Cry 3 runs pretty well ever since I jacked it up from a GTX650 to the GTX970. I don't own Far Cry 4.
A 2011 rig is old now. Pop for a new box.
Sounds like a driver issue. Ram and processor are fine. MAYBE there is a bottleneck on the motherboard but I doubt it.
No way a 980 TI dogs on anything but extreme scenarios. I just added/upgraded a Radeon R9390 Strix 8GB card replacing a Radeon 7950HD2 3GB and have no real issues to speak of with a 4Ghz CPU and Z87 Asus motherboard. I can slow it down with all settings maxed in the deepest city wars in F4 but thats it.
