Here, it allows for greater granular control and customisation as you can use the slider for it to increase resolution accordingly.
While this feature is present on the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, it is switched on automatically depending on your display and not an option in the console version's menus. This means you can force the game to render at a higher resolution and scale it down it to your screen resolution. This allows you to play the game in 4K even if you don’t have a 4K screen. What is present and welcome though is a resolution multiplier. Its absence is odd considering that Far Cry 5 allows you to lock frame rate to 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120fps. This method allows games to be as close to its maximum targeted frame rate. Interestingly, the game lacks the dynamic resolution option that was present in Assassin’s Creed Origins. A field of view (FOV) slider is present as well, defaulting at 70 and going all the way upto 120, allowing you to see much more of the game world. These include support for HDR displays and video quality settings that let you adjust fog, vegetation, and shadows. Much like the excellent Assassin’s Creed Origins, Far Cry 5 has a host of varied options to tweak.

Far Cry 5 PC requirementsĪnnounced back in January, Far Cry 5’s PC specifications seem to be a lot more welcoming with support for video cards such as the GeForce GTX 670 dating back to 2012. All of this made us take Ubisoft’s claims of taking the PC version seriously with a gallon of salt. Far Cry Primal fared a bit better in comparison but was just as taxing in its hardware requirements. Some later entries such as Far Cry 4 were far from optimised and prone to crashes and stutter at launch.
The Far Cry series has had a mixed response on PC, with the very first game in the series (developed by Crytek) being a graphical showcase back in the day. With Far Cry 5 finally available for PC gamers the world over on Steam, and also Ubisoft’s own storefront Uplay, we took a look at what the PC version has to offer.
