Far Cry 3 stereo performance
Hi, I have some major stuttering with Far Cry 3 in stereo (with Helix fix in DX9). Specs are- GTX970 4GB / 3570K / 8GB ram / Win7 64 / 344.65 drivers and the game is installed on SSD. After reading the Helix page for the Far Cry 3 fix, only a few of the post are about performance issues, so it looks like most people don't have this problem. So my question is - if you played FC3 in stereo without stuttering - what GPU do you have? Something faster than a 970? Also any specific settings you used? The stuttering is reduced by lowering settings, but never completely goes away. I tried the PostFx=false thing and triple buffering and they didn't help. It's more stuttering than low FPS. I have the retail/UPlay version btw. Cheers, Simon.

Played it on GTX980s + i7 2600k recently The stuttering will always be there until Ubisoft change their game engines. If you look up "Far Cry stuttering" on the net you will see that everybody has this issue, in both 2D and 3D, with no matter how powerful cards (SLI Titan Blacks etc).

I just finished playing through FC3 with 2 780's in SLI. At first I found significant stutter, especially whenever FPS would dip below 50 with everything cranked up to highest detail. What helped was turning on adaptive vsync in the Nvidia control panel, setting vsync setting to 1 in game, frames buffer to 5, and altering my settings to ensure it never dipped below 60 FPS (which basically only required me to lower my FOV from 90 to 75), and with that it was silky smooth.

Thanks guys. Changing v-sync to adaptive and putting buffered frames to 5 in-game almost completely cured the problem. Probably 90% of the stuttering is gone and the framerate seems better across the board as well. I could probably turn some of the other settings back up now (I'd already turned down MSAA, geometry, terrain, postfx and AO). Just a stunning game in 3D now. Thanks again :D
