Ubisoft have revealed the system requirements today for the new entry into the Far Cry series (well its PC version anyway), and they're not too bad, although the amount of hard drive space required is still pushing it a bit for my liking. Still, we're beginning to see the minimum requirements as a guideline so most machines should be able to run it.
The requirements are:
Minimum
- Supported OS: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8/8.1 (64bit versions only)
- Processor: Intel Core i5-750 @ 2.6 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.2 GHz
- Memory: 4GB
- Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 or AMD Radeon HD5850 (1GB VRAM)
- Direct X: Version 11
- Hard Drive: 30 GB available space
- Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card with latest drivers
Optimal
- Supported OS: MS Windows 7 SP1, MS Windows 8/8.1 (64bit versions only)
- Processor: Intel Core i5-2400S @ 2.5 GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz or better
- Memory: 8GB
- Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 or AMD Radeon R9 290X or better (2GB VRAM)
- Direct X: Version 11
- Hard Drive: 30 GB available space
- Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card with latest drivers
If you're running it with a GPU that supports Nvidia's technology too you can expect some fancy shadows and anti aliasing during the gameplay too.
Far Cry 4 is due out November 20th in the UK and Europe, and the 18th across the water.
