Far Cry Primal System Requirements FAQ

Can I run Far Cry Primal on a low-end PC?
Potentially, but you'll need to meet at least the minimum requirements: an Intel Core i3-550 or AMD Phenom II X4 955 CPU, a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (1GB VRAM) or AMD Radeon HD 5770 (1GB VRAM) GPU, and 4GB of RAM. Expect to play at lower settings and resolution with potentially lower frame rates.
What GPU do I need for Far Cry Primal?
For minimum settings, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (1GB VRAM) or AMD Radeon HD 5770 (1GB VRAM) is required. For recommended settings and a smoother experience, aim for an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon R9 280X.
How much RAM does Far Cry Primal need?
Far Cry Primal requires a minimum of 4GB of RAM to run. For a better experience and to avoid potential stuttering, 8GB of RAM is recommended.
Will Far Cry Primal run on integrated graphics?
It's unlikely Far Cry Primal will run well, if at all, on integrated graphics. The game demands a dedicated graphics card with at least 1GB of VRAM. Integrated graphics generally lack the necessary power for a playable experience.
What is the best graphics settings for Far Cry Primal?
The 'best' settings depend on your hardware. Start with the recommended settings (or a mix of medium/high) and adjust from there. Pay attention to frame rates. Lowering shadows, textures, and anti-aliasing can significantly improve performance.
