Low framerate in Farcry 5 regardless of graphics settings.

I am playing on 1080

FarCry 5 isn't the only game I see this in. I can only play Fallout 4 on medium at 30fps. I know people with similar builds can at least play Fallout 4 on medium with 60fps.

I can't tell you what it is today. I also can't tell you if a Web Speccy will help but it's a good start.

Read how at https://www.piriform.com/docs/speccy/using-speccy/publishing-a-speccy-profile-to-the-web

I'll check many things with that information like drive health, weird apps and more.

Thanks below are my speccy results no gameplay just idle

The spambot is eating your posts. Try changing the wording.

Thankyou

The third monitor is new, and it's off right now actually so I should probably disconnect it. I rarely actually use all three at the same time. it is pretty important for me to be able to use two at the same time.

thanks for the feedback I will check on the other things and make sure my video card is in the correct spot.

Do you have a link for reference on which slot gets better performance?

I don't mind doing a speccy reading and noting some items like this but once in a while I get chastised like it was a college PHD research paper. I hope you understand that there are a lot of folk that need help so investing more time like that?

As to the video card upgrade. To drive more than one 1080p display you just need more power. Or a second GPU of the same make/model.

Given how close you are to the pixel count of the UHD 4K display I worry that a 1070 would be enough today.

But a second RX 570 may be alright with two displays since you may have two x16 slots (check that motherboard manual.)

Note: Edited to correct GPU model.

I really appreciate the feedback. I hadn't thought of having a turned off monitor being a problem (since the problem persisted before I added in the third monitor).

I was just asking for a reference about which PCIe Slot performed better so I could figure out which one to look for.

I suppose if we are talking about two cards. I could keep this one and install a 1070ti or do they have to be the same make/model? I know they would be if I was going to crossfire them.

Thanks for taking the time and being thorough.

In the motherboard manual. You want the x16 slots to be used. There is some chatter about one being faster than the other in some boards. While I haven't seen this, it's worth a try when you are having issues.


As to Crossfire, I have yet to hear of mixing AMD and Nvidia then crossfiring. If I were to dual SLI, they are always the same model. I will not invite trouble.

You were right it's all over the manual make sure you install a single video card in PCI_E1

I looked it's in the right PCIe slot. I don't get this don't people hook up multiple monitors all the time? I am going to try playing without any of the other monitors plugged in and see if I get the same results.

Are your sure the other displays are gone? Unplugging may not be enough to tell the GPU to not bother producing output to those ports.

Also, are you launching on your GPU?

I unplugged the other two displays and restarted and that definitely fixed the frame rate issue. I don't understand though why they have 6 dvi slots in the back if you can only hook up one monitor.

It looks like bestbuy has a sale going on, on my exact card so I might buy another one I just need to check and make sure it's not going to suck too much power.

I will check and make sure it's launching on the GPU.

Just because there are ports doesn't mean you can use them all and get high FPS on all displays.

In your 3 display setup, it's almost and I'll go with 3/4's (75%) of the load at UHD 4K which we know takes a lot more GPU power. I didn't mention the CPU because what you have is leading edge and fine.

It's not the 3 displays, it's the total number of pixels we are pushing around.

but I still need at least one other monitor. So what can I do? Buy a second card? or just buy a better card?

I don't need high fps on all my monitors I just need the other ones to have browsers and stuff open.

Try it with 2 displays. It's like driving half the UHD and while it may cut into the frame rate it won't be as much as 3. Reasons are technical so I'll leave it at that.

BTW, I have a second display here for looking on the web when a game is up. It's one of our Android tablets.

I tried with 2 monitors and the frame rate dropped. Not sure why, this card should be able to handle 4k. Yet I can't handle 2 1080p monitors?

The more pixels you push the more the rate drops.

Almost any GPU will show a drop as you add a second or more displays. There's more work to do and you get a rate drop. The only way to avoid this (to a point) is to dedicate a GPU per display.

-> This is partially why I have a tablet next to my PC. No load way to pull up a web browser to check something.

I bought this video card around January when there was the GPU market was dry. Think upgrading to a 1070ti would fix the issue. My main thing is that I don't want to upgrade anything until I know what the bottleneck is.
