    Farcry 4 odd performance issue

    Hi, I've been trying to play FC4 since it came out but I'm having an odd performance issue.

    I'll load the game up for the first time that day, and It will be running perfectly, *with most things on ultra* at 59-60 frames and smoothly.

    After about 10-15 mins of game play, suddenly, the frames drop to 20-40. They then never go back up to 60 even if I turn everything to low.

    This happens every time I log into the game. 60 frames and smooth game play on high/ultra settings, and then a sudden and abrupt drop in frames which won't go back up to 60 -even if i drop the graphic quality.

    Then the next day it will repeat this process: perfect game play for 10-15 mins, and then a sudden, abrupt drop in frames.

    I've looked around and I'm not even sure what to type into google for help.

    Any ideas on what's wrong?

    i'd understand if it didn't run at all, but why does it run for 10-15 mins so well

    Are you sure about the Vram? Have you installed latest catalyst drivers and Far Cry patch 1.5? If so try this: go to game change you graphic settings to medium preset and vsync off and exit the game. Start the game and try again does the problem occure.
