I should also note that the GTX 1080 Ti showed some odd behavior initially, and I've now retested. Everything from the RTX 2060 and above clears 60 fps, which means cards like the GTX 10 should manage okay as well at these settings. We also start to see performance rankings line up more as we'd expect, though the RX 6800 XT still took top honors for AMD, and the RTX 3080 Ti edged out the RTX 3090.
#FAR CRY 4 FIX DISTANCE 1080P#
Most of the tested GPUs take a relatively small hit going from 1080p to 1440p at medium settings. The GTX 1060 and RX 570 both clear that mark and most of the other GPUs hit triple digits - which is good, since GPU prices are still all kinds of messed up. If you're after 60 fps or more, just about any reasonable mid-range or higher GPU released in the past five years should more than suffice. Anyway, it manages a reasonable 44 fps at 1080p medium, and dropping the settings to low should give it an added boost. That's generally a bit faster than the GTX 960 4GB, depending on the game code, though looking at the GTX 980 and GTX 1060 6GB, we suspect the 960 would be relatively close to the 1050 Ti. We don't have an RX 460 or GTX 960 still hanging around, so our slowest card for testing is the GTX 1050 Ti. Again, updated Nvidia drivers, in particular, will likely improve the situation, but this is how things currently stand. We see that with AMD's RX 6700 XT as well as the RTX 2080 Ti. Basically, the CPU bottlenecks combined with different GPU core counts and other elements mean that cards that are normally slower can end up outperforming higher-end models. There are also some weird variations among the GPUs at this admittedly low setting. Nvidia's GPUs currently top out at around 130 fps. Actually, if we're being frank, none of the cards maintain close to a steady 144 fps experience - AMD's fastest GPUs average around 144 fps, but minimums all hover in the low 100s.
We've also added the newly launched Radeon RX 6600 to the charts now.ĭid we mention that Far Cry 6 is an AMD-promoted game? We can't say for certain what's holding the Nvidia GPUs back, but the fastest cards can't even hit 144 fps at 1080p medium. We'll provide a deeper dive into the settings and image quality below, but let's get straight into the graphics card benchmarks. We enabled CAS as well, mostly because I like the way it looks and it has a negligible impact on performance, left off motion blur, and only tested at native resolution - though I did run some additional tests with FidelityFX Super Resolution to see what sort of scaling users can expect. We also tested at ultra with DXR reflections and DXR shadows enabled.
We left off the HD textures at medium and enabled them for ultra. We've tested at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K using the medium and ultra presets. We've since gone back to retest a few cards with the public release, and didn't notice any significant changes in performance. We tested each card multiple times at each setting, discarding the first run after launching the game - that run usually scores better as the GPU hasn't warmed up yet and can boost slightly higher.įor this initial look we used a preview version of the game provided by AMD and Ubisoft. We've used that for our testing, as it minimizes variation and keeps things simple.
#FAR CRY 4 FIX DISTANCE HOW TO#
Like most recent Far Cry games, Far Cry 6 includes a (mostly) convenient built-in benchmark - see our guide for how to make a good built-in benchmark for more details, but the latest installment actually represents a step back in terms of ease of use. Meanwhile, AMD provided early access to its 21.10.1 drivers, which it released to the public on October 4, and those are 'game ready.'
#FAR CRY 4 FIX DISTANCE DRIVERS#
We used Nvidia's most recent 472.12 drivers, which are not 'game ready' for Far Cry 6 - we asked about getting updated drivers but were not provided any in time for this initial look at performance. That's a faster CPU than the recommended Core i7-9700 / Ryzen 7 3700, though we still ran into some bottlenecks. We've used our standard graphics test PC, equipped with a Core i9-9900K CPU, to see how the various GPUs actually stack up.
