I'm having a weird problem with Far Cry 3. No matter what resolution or quality configuration I use (even everything down to low), the higher I look up, my frame rate drops. For example: on Ultra, i average around 40-45fps if i'm looking down. As I look up more, the frame rate starts to decrease. By the time I am looking directly up into the sky (no complex scenes, just a blue sky) the frame rate is down into the single digits. If I put the overall quality on Low, looking at the ground, i average about 75-80fps and as I look up, it also decreases to about 20-25 by the time I am looking directly up. Also, that frame rate will carry over into the pause menu if I pause at that time. Meaning, if I pause it when it's at 5 fps, I have to navigate the pause menu at 5 fps; it's so weird.
I've messed with each individual setting: resolution, vsync, direct x, etc... Nothing seems to make a difference. I don't exactly have a crappy computer so I think it should be able to run this game on a decent quality level at least. Is this yet another issue with my 2 GPU video card and games not being very compatible with it? I know I could not get Shift 2 to run well at all and I was told it was because of my video card. On the other hand, I can run some games like Grid maxed out without a hiccup.
