The graphics card, but only on older or budget hardware: any recent card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
Graphics card (GPU)
Not a limit on most PCs
Even a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 65 FPS at 1080p.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
Far Cry® 5 recommends a Core i7-4770 or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for Far Cry® 5, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
2 GB min · 4 GB rec
The minimum spec lists 2 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 4 GB. On a card with less, lower texture quality first: running out of video memory shows up as stutter or blurry textures, not as a lower average.
Settings to lower first in Far Cry® 5
- 1Nothing, on a dedicated graphics card: even a budget card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
- 2On integrated graphics, lower the resolution or render scale first. Intel Iris Xe averages about 30 FPS at 1080p.
- 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 4 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
