Hey guys, I was thinking about picking up Far Cry 3, but before buying it I wanted to ask how it would run on this machine! What kind of frames do you guys get and at what kind of settings?

G74SX-A1 - stock hardware - BIOS 202 - 2nd Monitor VISIO VF551XVT

I am running FC3 on a Asus G74SX, with the new Beta drivers and most things on High except Shadows in 1920X1080 I average around 25-35 fps, so don't expect huge performance although it still looks and plays pretty great! FC3 is notoriously power hungry if you go to the official forums you will see its inundated with hundreds of 'OMG I have a 3k Rig and FC3's peformance suxorz' threads, even people with 3 SLI'd cards are reporting very low FPS so for a laptop I don't think the G74 is doing too bad?

I have FC3 and can report fluid gaming at 60 fps in DX11 @1600x900 res.
I notice some fps downspikes while playing (it suddenly drop to 25fps and immediatly return to 60fps).
It happens not so often but i will investigate 2day is it bad non optimized engine or throttling issue.
Enlight me!

I've been playing it on my G73SW-A1 with the latest regular Nvidia drivers and I got something between 20 - 40 FPS on DX11... I have to write down how I let the options though, but the game is playing really nice!

So it seems like through accepting to turn down some settings you can achieve around 60 frames? I'd rather play on a lower res with 60 frames than on full hd with only about 30 ^^

i got also a problem-issue with this game.

Nneed to say first , that the game performance is very poor !!!!

But i try to play on 40 + fps.

dont want to overclock etc.. but ..

play on direct x 9 , 1600 x 900 , all on low

i get 50-70 fps but in many situation the fps dropsdown to 20 fps without any reason !!!

Use already trottlestop v5


what can i configurate more , to play stable 50 fps on the laptop ?

Dont want to overclock my grafikcard, but i know that i can overclock till 900/1600 - 80 grad without any problems but the fps drops every time to 20 ...
