UPDATE: Jan 15, 2016. today I got a new GPU a R9 380 with 4GB of memeory. I ran the game again after getting it installed and making sure im on the latest AMD card driver.

@ 1080 on mostly all high, medium settings. i'm getting 25-35 fps. in the middle of a lake...

:(


Stay away, horribly shoddy port.
--------------------------------------------------------

Launch issues galore. Read the fourms to see the varying issues. Bottom line, poor preformance on decent or even high end rigs.

I really do think all these issues *will* be fixed but no point in buying it right now. Will change this review when/as needed. I bought my copy outside of steam so it ain't going anywhere.

-----------------------------------

December 14th. Still no patch for preformance issues (both AMD and Nvidia have it.)

haven't seen a AMD driver for JC3 yet. just a hotfix to Crimson 1.0 or whatever.


i have to run this game at like 1280x1024 or whatever on lowest settings on my 1080p monitor. getting 35-60 fps and it's not exploisions making the frame rate drop or at least not fully them.

I run Mad Max @ 1080p at damn near max settings and get a very soild, 50-60 fps frame rate in that game.

Specs are:
3570k
7870 HD 2GB ram
8GB DDR3 1600 mhz ram

just Cause 3 uses somewhere 4.65 GB's of my ram alone on the menu screen. Seriously? I've seen people complain about a memeory leak but i haven't seemingly dealt with it, unless it's a painfully slow leak.
