Ubisoft updated the official website with the minimum and recommended system requirements for gamers who want to play the fifth installment on PC. The minimum processor requirements aren’t that high, but you need 8GB of system memory at the very least, and a GeForce GTX 670 or Radeon R9 270 graphics card/chip to play the game at a 720p resolution using the low video preset.
Here are the requirements:
Intel Core i5-2400 AMD FX-6300
Intel Core i7-4770 AMD Ryzen 5 1600
GeForce GTX 670 Radeon R9 270
GeForce GTX 970 Radeon R9 290X
8GB
8GB
Windows 7 SP1 / 8.1 / 10 64-bit only
Windows 7 SP1 / 8.1 / 10 64-bit only
Not too shabby, right? But the love doesn’t stop there. If you have the hardware, Ubisoft provides a list of what you need to run at a 3,840 x 2,160 resolution, aka 4K or 2160p, at 30 and 60 frames per second. Here are the hardware requirements:
Intel Core i7-6700 AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
Intel Core i7-6700K AMD Ryzen 7 1700X
GeForce GTX 1070 Radeon RX Vega 56
GeForce GTX 1080 in SLI Radeon RX Vega 56 in CrossFire
16GB
16GB
Windows 10 64-bit only
Windows 10 64-bit only
We’re going to presume that you only need a single GTX 1080 or Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics card to run the game using the high video preset at 2160p and 60 frames per second. The need for two or more cards in SLI or CrossFire mode likely applies to running the same 2160p/60 fps combo using the ultra graphics preset. Meanwhile, here are all the graphics cards supported by the game at launch:
Radeon R9 270 or better
Radeon R7 370 or better
Radeon RX 460 or better
Radeon RX Vega 56 or better
Far Cry 5 will arrive on Windows-based PCs along with the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles on March 27, 2018. The PC version will include a built-in benchmark feature and video memory usage meter to better calibrate the game’s settings for the optimal performance and visuals on your system. These settings include a frames-per-second lock, field of view adjustment, and resolution scaling. The game will auto-calibrate the settings based on the installed hardware too if you’re not in a tweaking mood.
“PC has always been a key element of Far Cry’s DNA, and this couldn’t be truer with Far Cry 5,” said Kirill Bragin, PC version producer on . As shown in the hardware specifications, Ubisoft also indicates that Far Cry 5 will support multi-GPU configurations, which isn’t the case for many games brought to the PC. The company will likely reveal additional PC-based secrets as we grow closer to the game’s March release.
“This is just a sneak peek at some of the features we are excited about for the PC version,” Bragin added.

Google Research suggests AI models like DeepSeek exhibit collective intelligence patterns
The paper, published on arXiv with the evocative title Reasoning Models Generate Societies of Thought, posits that these models don't merely compute; they implicitly simulate a "multi-agent" interaction. Imagine a boardroom full of experts tossing ideas around, challenging each other's assumptions, and looking at a problem from different angles before finally agreeing on the best answer. That is essentially what is happening inside the code. The researchers found that these models exhibit "perspective diversity," meaning they generate conflicting viewpoints and work to resolve them internally, much like a team of colleagues debating a strategy to find the best path forward.
