    btw I'm also running on highest graphics setting in game .. so it has to be something on your end. .. btw is the game installed on your "C" drive.. or a way slow drive elsewhere? that would do it..

    Yeah I'm running off my c:drive.

    I use g -sync so I don't need to worry about tearing. I also tested it with g-sync off and vsync on but it was the same.

    Its very rare I ever upscale a game to anything past 1080p

    I am very sensitive to fps drops and I can very much tell the difference from anything under 60fps.

    I aim for 60 minimum and I will only every lock the frame rate to 60 if the game stutters at a variable rate, (usually in open world games)

    Yeah my control panel settings are set to let the applications take control.

    Also my average fps is 75 in the benchmark but in game it is not smooth or consistent for me.

    It must be just a weird issue with my setup.

    Like I said fc5 runs perfect with exactly the same settings, using 4.8g of my 11g card on both games

    Thanks for your help man but I think its either my setup or I'm to fussy and sensitive with my fps lol

    What's your system spec? Most I've seen talk about ND if anything say it's more optimized than FC5. It could be just due to using a much smaller portion of the FC5 map. I can easily run it at 1440p, whereas FC5 I ran at 1080p. Granted ND is installed on my new NVMe drive, vs FC5 being on a HDD. Putting GRW on the NVMe improved loading of some things right after the game launches, but for the most part performance is not affected.

    Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i7 Eight Core Processor i7-7820X (3.6GHz) Boost to 4.6GHZ
    (RAM) 32GB KINGSTON HYPER-X FURY DDR4 2400MHz (4 x 8GB)
    Graphics Card 11GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1080 Ti -
    Hard Disk 2TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 64MB CACHE

    Yeah Frag my Nvidia GeForce experience seems to agree with you as the profile for new dawn says I can go 2 x the resolution as apposed to 1.5 on far cry 5.

    I'm coming to the end of fc 5 now so gonna give new dawn another go.

    Perhaps the boxing in the pit section is the only area which will give me problems. (Ill post the name of the mission.)
    Although I was using it as a benchmark (I've saved right by the mission)
    Ill maybe complete it and take it from there.

    But when a game drops to 45 fps its awful to play.

    Ok I have kind of sorted it out.

    Seems that I can generally play with a smooth framerate by going 1440p instead of using the games resolution upscaling modifier.

    Also I would say there are some areas of the game are just poorly optimised.

    The area of the Pit from the mission NOW THATS ENTERTAINMENT is pretty bad.

    Especially when you go above the pit and see the whole area in the daytime.

    In that area I just chuck the game onto low settings.

    Thanks for help people

    I thought the fighting pit and the demolition derby race track were far too simplistic and short lived. Far Cry 4's arena was WAY better, and the track should have been a figure 8 for demo derby. They also could have had an extended section and jump to make it double as a race track. At first play ND feels better designed in many ways than FC5, but there were so many missed opportunities.

    OP. What resolution? Have you tried reducing it?

    With my new PC I can play absolutely every game ultra @4k but playing another UBI title (The Division 2), I had to cut down the quality quite a ways to run at 4k. It is a shame when they cut SLI support and a max-effort gaming desktop can't run it on ultra (i9-9980xe @4.3ghz, 2tb NVMe, 2 RTX2080ti, 128gb DDR3866).
