Is your PC ready?
With the release date of Ubisoft’s Far Cry 5 getting closer and closer. The company has revealed the PC specs for the game, so at least you’ll be able to see if you can run it. Sadly, if you need a new GPU. You may be in for a tough time finding one. As for the specs, they’re pretty tame for running the game at 1080p at 60 FPS. However, if you’relooking to run the game at 4K 60FPS, the demands a much higher.
“PC has always been a key element of Far Cry’s DNA, and this couldn’t be truer with Far Cry 5,” says Kirill Bragin, PC Version Producer on Far Cry 5. In order to help ensure PC players have the best experience possible, the Benchmark feature and video memory usage meter will help you analyze your system and calibrate the myriad visual options, including variant aspect ratio support, FOV adjustment, optional FPS locking, and resolution scaling. But players won’t need to dive into the calibration menus if they don’t feel like it, says Bragin, because “the game will auto-detect the user’s hardware and will set the matching quality preset and resolution.” Furthermore, Far Cry 5 will support multi-GPU functionality, allowing players to significantly improve performance.

4K gameplay at 60 FPS is no joke, requiring a GTX 1080 in SLi. Though a GTX 1080 Ti is nearly on par with that. So those with a GTX 1080 Ti and want to run Far Cry 5 at 60FPS, may be able to do so. Albeit with some settings dropped.
Far Cry 5 releases on Feb. 27, 2018, for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
