exactly - it is a OLD game that actually ran better (in some cases) on older chips than it does on newer ones.

Ive spent some time researching this as Farcry 4 is one of my all time favorite games, and I had issues with it running smooth on newer (and esp on Ryzen) without pegging to 4 physcial cores on one CCX and setting it to high priority.

When you do this, your fps will noticeably spike in this title.

Maybe it is like you say but according to OP the game ran fine at one point.

That it is... i learned the HT & priority trick when trying to optimize my performance.

Yeah im done with ubisoft. If others can release great optimized games and ubisoft cant, then i believe ubisoft is just not up to it.

why not just fps and temps

I've always wondered why people feel compelled to have every single core as well as the Most useless info, like power supply voltage :) (which is a joke), Or ram frequency :laugh:, or hard drive usage:roll:. Seriously ,what are people thinking? what kind of game experience could it possibly be with a 12 inch wall of text on the left side of your screen?:slap: in my opinion that would be my concern first & foremost

LOL, yeah my Nehalem probably works more consistently than a Ryzen too. I've seen too many complaints about systems that just happen to have Ryzens lately to see it as a coincidence. Drink the AMD Koolaid all you want, I'll avoid it like the plague. Even an 8600k for much cheaper could hang with that 1800x you're using at gaming.

I switched from a 7700k system to a Ryzen based system for the novelty and honestly haven't had one issue like that. You can't accuse me of "drinking the kool-aid" as such.

My only complaint was the linux performance marginality bug. Was it worth it? Hell no it was a sidegrade for jornalistic comparison purposes, but I can't say I've really been WORSE off.

My gentoo world compiles would slow down signifigantly though. :p

Just echoing what I've seen tons of Ryzen fanboys lament over repeatedly. If you can't tolerate that, don't make threads, you don't own the thead space like you seem to think. It's not off topic, it's pertinent. Your screen name alone makes it obvious you have a weakness for crappy AMD CPUs. LOL

When Coffee Lake gets in good stock Ryzen will be a thing of the past that only fanboy AMD fools succumbed to. And who cares what Swiss pricing on them is, especially before there's even been good stock. Just the fact that they immediately go out of stock even with well beyond MSRP pricing should give you a clue.

As expected you completely ignored the relevant part of my reply w/c is completely what the thread is all about instead nitpick on the part where I pointed out your pointless whining. Stop making this thread about you, go cry somewhere else :nutkick:

tried that before didn't make any difference. Though I agree FC3 is plagued with optimization issues, I was quite surprised the stutter went away after FC Update. It's a night and day difference.

I'm just happy the issue is resolved, good job @Sempron Guy.

I still think an update or driver screwed up things though, unless if there was a mining botnet on your rig...

I just learned of this issue which could be the root cause of all this mess.

https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...ment_internal-post-here-if-you-got-it.238131/

To bring things to attention even the lowest Ryzen cpu model can game fine, even FX, Phenom 2, Phenom...

Fanboyism is utterly for the ignorant, arrogant, pea brain.

The guy was looking for help, not a ridicule of his system build.

If anyone have nothing good to contribute to help a person fix a problem just get out and go find another thread where your services can be utilized better.

Lets end the toxicity of this place.
