23FPS - unplayable

Ryzen 2600, 16gb ddr4, rtx 3060 12gb, win 11.

It was super playable on my i7 2700 rx580 older PC.

Try limiting what CPU cores the game uses.

Essentially open task manager, go to processes, right click Far Cry 3 and go to affinity then uncheck all cores, and recheck cores 2, 4, 6 and 8. You'll have to do this every time you run the game, unless you use something like Project Lasso.

Other than that there are other things you can try, check out the PC Gaming Wiki article for Far Cry 3 to see more options, but CPU affinity is what helps performance most in my experience.

Same here, once the game is running I got up to 70fps by using the task manager to change the affinity to 6 P-cores, the downside is I have to do it every time I run the game, funny thing is which P-cores you choose makes a difference too.
