Ubisoft has announced the minimum system requirements one needs to run the upcoming Far Cry 5 on one’s PC. For those who aren’t aware, Far Cry 5 is an upcoming open world game set in a fictional city called Hope County. This game is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 27 March 2018.
When it comes to the minimum required configuration, one would require either an Intel Core i5-2400 or and AMD FX-6300 or equivalent processor to run Far Cry 5. In addition, either a Nvidia GTX 670 or AMD R9 270 graphics card is required to run the game smoothly at 720p resolution. Besides that, a minimum of 8GB RAM is also needed.
Moving one step above, to run Far Cry 5 at high graphics preset, one’s system would require either an Intel Core i7-4770 or an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 processor, along with 8GB RAM. Graphics-wise, Far Cry 5 will run relatively smoothly at 1080p with either a Nvidia GTX 970 or AMD R9 290X. Ubisoft has mentioned that these settings will most likely allow one’s system to run the game at 60fps.
That said, to run Far Cry 5 in 4K at 60fps, one would need either an Intel Core i7-6700K or AMD Ryzen 7 1700X processor. RAM requirements has been increased significantly to 16GB. Likewise, only a Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti in SLI or AMD RX Vega 56 in CrossFireX would be able to run Far Cry 5 at its absolute highest graphical settings.
