Far Cry 3 was released in 2012. No published benchmark of Far Cry 3 is in our dataset yet, so every FPS figure on this page is an estimate. Steam lists 512MB Video RAM (1GB Video RAM), DirectX9c (DirectX11) Shader Model 3.0 (Shader Model 5.0) 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 3, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.

No measured data yet. We have not found a published benchmark of Far Cry 3 with a source we can link. The figures below come from our model and carry a ±30% band. How the estimate works.
