Far Cry 4 seems to be the only game where I notice how there is less lag even with v-sync on, whilst g-sync only makes the lag worse. Games such as Borderlands 2, Battlefield 4 and Tomb Raider both have perfect G-Sync functioning making me absolutely love my new gaming screen, but kinda dissapointed and wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this issues for Far Cry 4? Any other experiences here? I use a BenQ XL2420g and loving it for every game out there, except Far Cry 4, unfortunately. My gfx card is a GTX970, wich I got Far Cry 4 for free with.
So am I the only one that has issues with Far Cry 4 combining it with G-Sync? I really doubt it has anything to do with my hardware setup. I've had a positive G-Sync experience so far with all games... except Far Cry 4. It gets so bad, I might as well turn on V-Sync, because it lags just as much. I am not willing that it doesn't have something to do with the Far Cry 4 engine itself. For a game that advertises NVIDIA, it seems very odd that it functions so bad. I've tried it with at least 20+ games, and it worked fine. So anyone else experiencing this epic lag?
I have an older system, sli 770's and adequate ram. For the most part .... FC 4 is smooth as silk. Driving vehicles it will lag, and heavy fight scenes FPS will drop and stutter a bit. All settings on Ultra, AO HBAO+ AA off, Vsinc off and Hyper Threading turned off in bios. I also use MSI Afterburner to lock the fps to 60 (which helps me with headaches). All driving a 2560 x 1600 30inc HP Monitor. Curious ... does the game always lag for you, or just once in a while during heavy scenes. NOT that any lag is acceptable mind you, just curious considering your using g-sync.
Well, for now I've turned off G-Sync and using ULMB at 144hz instead. Runs fine, no input lag. But with G-Sync enabled, it acts exactly the same as if V-Sync was turned on, I really feel the input lag of V-Sync when using G-Sync, and yes V-Sync is turned off. Its not really lag, like game lag or low fps, its actually input lag like what V-Sync usually does. And no the input lag is absolutely not acceptable, it becomes almost unplayable for me. Far Cry 4 is the only game so far I have had issues with G-Sync to be honest. In BF4, Borderlands 2 , Tomb Raider and Dragon Age it works just fine.Originally Posted by Stockdale50 Go to original post
