Far Cry 6 requirements for PC

Can I run Far Cry 6?

To run the Far Cry 6 system requirements, you will need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 graphics card, an Intel i5-4460 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 60GB of HD space.

The Far Cry 6 requirements are not particularly demanding considering modern AAA gaming requirements, needing only 8GB of RAM to run. You'll want to bump this up to 16GB if you're interested in pushing for more than 60fps, though.

Ubisoft states that the Far Cry 6 minimum requirements need an NVIDIA GTX 960 or AMD's Radeon RX 460 graphics card, with an Intel i5-4460 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 processor to run Far Cry 6 at 30 FPS. 

The Far Cry 6 recommended specs are obviously higher, but not by much, demanding only an NVIDIA GTX 1080 or AMD RX Vega 64 GPU. It's a similar story with gaming CPUs, as you'll only need an Intel i7-7700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X. Should you pack compatible hardware, you'll even be able to use AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution to eek out more performance.
