(I'm new to the world of PC gaming so I dont know almost anything about anything so PLEASE bear with me.) I bought Far Cry 3 for my laptop that was optimized for PC games. When I get into the game the game will run fine on the "High" setting but it does seem to lag sometimes. The video quality doesnt drop, the game just lags for a couple of seconds. I'm playing it with a mouse and keyboard now but after Christmas I will be playing it with a gamepad if that makes any sort of difference. Thanks for any help you can give me duders.

Maybe because it's a laptop, and you're trying to play a demanding game on it? What specs does it have? In what ways is it "optimized" for PC games? Lower your settings dog, this ain't console gaming.

Yeah....you will most likely need to adjust some of the settings. Far Cry 3 is a pretty graphically demanding game with DX11. Just play around with some of the advanced video settings until the frame rate smooths out a bit for you. I also play with an XBox 360 controller as an FYI.

Ok. Ill try messing with the settings. Thanks for the help

Post FX setting fucks up the fluidity of mouse control. Turn it to low/medium.
