Far Cry 4 has its fair share of odd bugs
but it was actually stable enough for us to properly test so welcome to our
graphics cards Showdown where we will give you guys the lowdown on which cards
perform best from AMD or from NVIDIA in this exciting new game also make sure
you're subscribed cuz we're going to do the same thing with Dragon Age Inquisition which also just launched
we'll be doing that very
shortly Corsair gaming RGB keyboards
feature Precision Cherry MX RGB key switches for 16.8 million color per key

okay so like I said it's a little buggy vsync doesn't seem to always turn off
even when you tell it to and even forcing it off in the driver only
sometimes works I did notice however that if I tabed out of the game and then
tabbed back in vsync would properly turn
off pretty weird also the tearing was
insane some of the worst Jell-O like tearing I've ever seen but yet again if
you Tab out and then tab back in it fixes it permanently for that
playthrough at least if you want to see more about the different bugs and
specific settings in the game I would recommend checking out total biscuits
Port report for Far Cry 4 as he covers it very well we test all of our games
essentially right at launch because we know this is when many people will be
playing the game and it's when many people will be interested in whether or
not they're card will be able to run the game so sometimes there's optimization
issues for AMD or for NVIDIA in this
case NVIDIA has the upper hand with an extremely recent driver and both at
1080P and 4K there is an observable disparity between the two never fear
though AMD users I'm sure there will be a beta driver for you guys with an
update sometime soon but for now this is how your card will perform when running
at 4K we ran into some vram issues below 3 GB and even our 780 Ti with 3 GB of
vram was essentially maxed out also there's a little bit of a bug when
changing settings my settings for 4K was 3840 by 2160 and the high preset this
would result in some horrible performance andless I went back into the
settings afterwards and selected reset to defaults which changed as far as I
could tell nothing as it left the resolution and preset the same but this
did solve any odd performance issues I had and ran the game exactly as I
expected and before I show you guys the runs so you can see how your rig Stacks
up on your own I want to remind the longtime viewers that we are no longer
running our gaming benchmarks with overclocked graphics cards so these
cards will be running at their Factory clock speeds also for new viewers who
are wondering why we used a massively overclocked six core for our test bench
when that configuration is very uncommon it's because we want to minimize CPU
bottlenecks as much as we possibly can so that we can actually see the
performance differences is between these graphics cards themselves so now that
that's all out of the way I'll run you guys through our benchmarking run so you
can see how to do it on your own our run takes place right on the other side of
the door after you're released from dinner very close to the beginning of
the game the reason why this is pretty close to the beginning of the game is
one I didn't have a ton of time and two because you can't really manage multiple
saves there's a new game option which is nice coming from Unity but there's no
other option other than that once you get through this first door and
you skip the interrogation room this guy will talk to you for a little bit and
then lead you to the door at which point the action will really start this part
is a little bit deadly need to get you out of here safely no matter the
cost would understand now stay close a
fantastic
listener [ __ ] no way here the dog
quickly funny tidbit I actually have no idea what any of them say at this point
because I've never played the game with audio your down and make a run for the TRU move as fast as you can understand
yeah yeah I got it one two three all
right as they start pouring through the door your turn will come up last as you
come through the door it gives you a tip to run with shift at which you will do
that run down the hill watch the explosions do all that kind of stuff but try to Face Forward pretty much the
entire time and don't look anywhere to keep the framing similar for every one
of your runs getting into the car is simple by holding e not just by pressing
it so run up to the car and hold e as of this point you're pretty much done to be
completely honest as you are not driving the truck that you just jumped into and
you just kind of sit in side seat and shoot the gun but you don't even
necessarily have to as I don't think you can lose so far but either way we right
trigger to aim down sight and shoot at these guys a little bit and then just
drive on past one thing to remember is to keep your framing facing forward
however the entire time as we come up around this corner you'll see a whole
bunch of guys on quads come down the hill and right as the guy kind of rams
into the side of your truck the test will probably end right about there
these are 2 minute segments you will not make it around this corner all right
guys thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe if you want to see that Dragon Age Inquisition video which be should be
coming fairly soon uh like dislike
comment about what you think about Ubisoft because that's popular these
days subscribe share and jump over to the Forum talk to people there buy a
shirt which isn't from twitch and click on the support us link to change your
Amazon bookmarks to ours so we get a small Kickback whenever you buy things
thank you guys for watching and I will see you next time
