This also means that CPUs with ‘weaker’ per core performance may encounter issues with this title. As we’ve already said, this happens because one thread is being stressed no matter what. The bad news is that the game always stresses one CPU core/thread, meaning that PC gamers will have to disable completely Hyper Threading, otherwise they will find themselves into a number of CPU limited situations.Īs we can see below, there is a 15fps difference between a hexa-core CPU with HT on and HT off. Well, the good news is that the game scales indeed well on four CPU cores. And since Far Cry 3 scaled incredibly well on more than four CPU cores, we kind of expected similar behaviour from Far Cry 4. We don’t know whether Ubisoft plans to fix this issue in its upcoming patch, but for the time being we strongly suggest avoiding it.įar Cry 4 is powered by an enhanced version of the Dunia 2 Engine. SMAA is somehow broken for SLI systems, as it introduces various visual artifacts as soon as you access your inventory or bring up the menu options. NVIDIA has already included an SLI profile that offers amazing SLI scaling, though we did witness a specific issue that has not been resolved as of yet.

As always, we used an Intel i7 4930K with 8GB RAM, NVIDIA’s GTX690, Windows 8.1 64-bit and the latest version of the GeForce drivers. So, Far Cry 4 has been released and it’s time to see how it performs on the PC platform.

So no we are not hating or bashing Ubisoft – whenever we do – because it’s the cool thing to do. After all, back in 2012 we declared Far Cry 3 as the most optimized game of that year, and last year Splinter Cell: Blacklist was our second most optimized title. Sure thing, the company has made some decisions that puzzled us, but we’re here to judge their games and not their ‘political’ or ‘financial’ decisions. Let’s get one thing straight we don’t enjoy or like bashing Ubisoft.
