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 ("Intel Core 2 Duo Family, AMD 64 X2 5200+, AMD Phenom or better") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Far Cry® 2, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
256 MB min · 512 MB rec
The minimum spec lists 256 MB of video memory and the recommended spec 512 MB, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.
