Check My PC →What limits performance in Far Cry®
The graphics card, but only on older or budget hardware: any recent card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
Graphics card (GPU)
Not a limit
Even Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics runs smoothly at 1080p.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("AMD Athlon 2-3 GHz or Pentium 4 2-3 GHz") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Far Cry®, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
128 MB (rec. spec)
The recommended spec lists 128 MB of video memory, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.
