Far Cry: Primal was released in 2016. We list 14 published FPS results for it from Notebookcheck, covering 7 graphics cards. Steam lists NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (1GB VRAM) | AMD Radeon HD 5770 (1GB VRAM) or equivalent as the minimum graphics card, about what integrated graphics deliver today. Against those results our estimate landed within ±30% 12 of 14 times.
Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for Far Cry: Primal, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
