Five Elite Mercenaries are send to an Island in middle of the 1980'. The Task: Find and Eliminate a local Drug Baron. Features: new Physic, real Sunmovement, Day/Night Change, Hunger/Food system, realistic (!) Weather system, Light/Dark viewing system for AI, 5 different Fractions on the Island. Complete Realistic simulation of nearly all things, including Sleep. New weapons, new Vehicles. Vehicles driving system is now exact (!) like GTA IV , FireSystem,... this mod is Heavily inspired by GTA, IGI, FarCry.

mostly not a public spot :/ i really must find intresting loot stuff for such places so players are motivated to explore more, so i didnt have mapped this stuff for no reasons :D
39fps, nice.
My new PC (which I will build in summer) will definitely run this with similar framerates. :D
i'm sure your new PC will have doubble framerates than i have here :)
I hope so, lol. I'm not sure if the RX 460 is faster than the Radeon HD 6950 (I think it is, lol).
You mentioned some stuff on the memory leak map:
Moddb.com
...and I'll use Windows 7 64-bit, so there's a chance that I will have a lower framerate than on Windows XP.
On my current laptop, however, I'm sure I'd get 10fps on that memory leak map. xD (Windows 7 32-bit)
i have found the cause for that FPS dropping from w7 vs XP, it's posted somewhere around that link you have digged out. it's basically the GPU driver version. old driver = doubble framerates, new driverversion ( newer than, hmm 11 or 10.1, i dont remember), = half FPS.
AMD called this driver cut euphemistic "corechange" or something that ****.
but if you wonder: Nvidia have done this too, but not as brutal like AMD.
beside that: all(!) what you see here is not GPU limitated, it's always the CPU. so be sure to grab a very strong SingleCore speeder. RX460 should twice as fast than my old 6950. (especially with the new catalyst drivers, hahahaha :)
Single-core!?
The i3-6100 is dual-core with 3.7GHz, so I hope it will be fast enough, lol. (that's what I'll get)
Hmm, my laptop's processor is the Core 2 Duo T7500 @2.2GHz. Yeah, MUCH slower than your CPU. But in my laptop's case, everything is a bottleneck: the GPU, the CPU and the RAM.
I also checked some specifications, and the 6950 has more 'raw' power than the RX 460, but the 460 is maybe more optimised and has much better drivers.
But if new drivers = half FPS, then I'm the loser, right? :/
> and has much better drivers.
haha :D

only in GPU limited scenes
>Single-core!?
single core performance. FarCry have only 2 threads, one main thread for the whole engine and one very small which can run on second core. but the first thread needs as much power as possible.
>The i3-6100 is dual-core with 3.7GHz, so I hope it will be fast enough,
i think this will be faster than my actual xeon e5450 @ 3.2 Ghz. then it depends on the GPU, i absolutely can't say anything about newer AMD GPU's than H4xxx, H5xxx, H6xxx and their driver behaviour. AMD changed from H7xxxx also the technical structure, so the new drivers may be not a problem at all. i simply can't say anything, sorry...
but i develop actually (current still in my mind) a very drastical code which allows to not load not needed vegetation like bricks, stones, small grass, this should get back some heavy CPU resources, but i have first dive deeper into that vegetation renderer bug i have found in last week.
Well, that's very good news for me. Hmm, when I get the i3-6100, I should experiment with turning off cores and threads (out of curiosity) to see how it affects performance in Far Cry.
Regarding GPU-intensive scenes, I think I'll be fine with it, even in my own mod. :) (my mod will use a lot of things like cubemaps, normal maps, specular and parallax mapping)
especially in cryengine 1.4 which i bascially use, the i3 with turned off HT will be slightly faster than with HT (i think ~5%, but dont nail me on that exact number, but it will be faster) .
other games, which have 4 threads, will take profit from HT at your i3 with 2 cores.
my new i7 cpu have 4 cores + HT and and i will switch off HT to get out the most boom for bang (in gaming, ofcourse).
