Can you run Far Cry New Dawn? PC requirements and settings

Here are the official specs, and what they mean on the most common graphics cards.

Minimum cardNVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (2GB) or AMD Radeon R9 270X (2GB) or better

Our conservative estimate60 fps at 1080p, high settings, with a GeForce GTX 1060
Estimate per graphics card
Which settings to aim for with your card
For each card: the highest settings level that stays smooth, and the expected frame-rate
range. This is a conservative estimate worked out from the publisher's recommended specs, not a
measurement: your processor, drivers and game updates move it.
Without DLSS, FSR or frame generation: turning them on raises the frame rate noticeably
when the game offers them.
Best settings
Best graphics settings for Far Cry New Dawn by graphics card
The setting ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick to play at 60 frames per second: the
best-looking detail level that stays smooth, with upscaling when it lets you go one step up (DLSS
on GeForce RTX, XeSS on Intel Arc, FSR on other cards). If Far Cry New Dawn doesn't offer it, use the
level from the previous table.

| GeForce RTX 4070 | Highover 220 fps | High143–196 fps |

| Radeon RX 6600 | High113–156 fps | High73–101 fps |
| GeForce GTX 1660 Super | High78–108 fps | High + FSR Quality68–94 fps |
At these levels, ORION keeps textures on high from 8 GB of video memory (they cost memory,
hardly any frames), sets the frame cap on the target for steady pacing, turns off motion blur and
film grain, and leaves vertical sync off. This is a conservative estimate, not a measurement: in
ORION, the first measured session corrects the setting.

recommended card (the average when the publisher names several), then adjusted to the screen
resolution. A low margin is kept, and less video memory than recommended drops one level.
