Far Cry 5 at a glance
Far Cry 5 is a shooter game that came out on PC on March 26, 2018. The recommended graphics listed by the Steam store page: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD R9 290X (4GB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0 or better). It asks for 8 GB of RAM (minimum 8 GB).
Our estimate: you need about a GTX 1650 Super for a steady 60 FPS at 1080p High, while an RX 550 can hold around 30 FPS on Low. The game is moderately demanding on the processor; a Ryzen 5 3400G or better keeps up with 60 FPS. On basic Intel UHD 630 graphics expect only about 13 FPS on Low, so a dedicated graphics card makes a big difference.
