Alright this is just baffling me. I have never had performance issues on my Desktop unless its just an easy Driver Update. The worst part is that my Laptop has no issues playing Far Cry 3.
My Desktop consists of:
- Windows 7 64 bit
- Intel Core i7 2700K Sandy Bridge
- ASUS P8Z68-V GEN3 Mainboard
- 2x DDR3 4MB PC3-12800 (Mushkin 992057 (997057))
- 2x AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series (Crossfire)
- and a few hard drives.
If listing my laptop hardware would help I will.
I've downloaded AMD's new Driver Update that is specific too Far Cry 3, still didn't help. Downloaded AMD's Beta Driver Update still didn't help, did both updates at once, nothing. Right now I have all three of the current AMD Driver Updates, still low FPS. I even had to lowered my graphics to low (cringe) and my FPS is unchanged.
I've also checked for Windows 7 updates.
After trying for a few hours I decided that I would just suck it up and only use my laptop for playing Far Cry 3. Until today, I saw they released a patch that specifically mentions above 32 core computers, but nothing has changed for me.
I am beyond frustrated with this and would love some in-site. What else is there to do to increase performance while playing Far Cry 3?

Try disabling crossfire. Many games do not play nice with multi GPU setups. I have a 2GB 6950 and the game runs fine for me.
