Far Cry was released in 2004. No published benchmark of Far Cry is in our dataset yet, so every FPS figure on this page is an estimate. Steam lists 64 MB DirectX® 9.0b-compliant graphics card (see supported list*) as the minimum graphics card, about what integrated graphics deliver today.
Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for Far Cry, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.

Far Cry FPS questions
- What graphics card do I need for 60 FPS in Far Cry at 1080p?
- By our estimate (±30%), the GTX 1650 is the least powerful of our 10 reference cards to reach 60 FPS at 1080p High, at about 168 FPS. No published benchmark of Far Cry at that setting is in our data to confirm it.
- Can a GTX 1650 run Far Cry?
- By our estimate it gets about 262 FPS at 1080p Low (smooth) and 168 FPS at 1080p High (smooth), each ±30%.
- What are the minimum system requirements for Far Cry?
- Steam lists 64 MB DirectX® 9.0b-compliant graphics card (see supported list*) graphics, AMD Athlon™ 1 GHz or Pentium® III 1 GHz and 1 GB of RAM as the minimum.
