ORION › Game requirements › Far Cry 3
Far Cry 3, by Ubisoft Montreal, Massive Entertainment, and Ubisoft Shanghai (Action, Adventure), came out on Steam on November 28, 2012. Here are the official specs, and what they mean on the most common graphics cards.
Estimate per graphics card
The official page does not name a specific graphics card for both the minimum and the recommended specs. Rather than an invented number, we give none. ORION does the maths on your own PC, with your card, processor and screen, then measures the real frame rate while you play.

Where to buy
The official page first. In ORION, the Store tab compares prices across shops, with the official stores listed before key resellers.
On your PC
ORION is a free game launcher for Windows. It reads your graphics card, processor and screen, estimates every game in your library, then measures the real frame rate while you play and sets the game up with its "Recommended" profile. No account, no ads.
