Far Cry 6 SA build - modern hardware, classic-game performance

Far Cry 6 is a demanding open-world title at Ultra, so an SA build needs a current mid-range GPU and ideally 12GB VRAM if you want its optional HD texture pack enabled.

Quick Answer

A R20,000 SA build with a Ryzen 5 7600 and an RTX 4070 (12GB) runs Far Cry 6 at 1440p Ultra around 70-90 fps, including the HD texture pack. For 1080p Ultra without the pack, a R15,000 RTX 4060 build holds 70-90 fps.

Why VRAM Matters In Far Cry 6

Far Cry 6 runs smoothly at Ultra, but its optional HD texture pack wants 12GB of VRAM. The 8GB RTX 4060 handles standard Ultra well; the 12GB RTX 4070 is needed to enable the HD pack without stutter. The CPU demand is moderate, so a Ryzen 5 7600 suffices.

The SA Build For Far Cry 6

A R20,000 build with a Ryzen 5 7600, RTX 4070 (12GB), 16GB DDR5 and a 1TB NVMe SSD runs Far Cry 6 at 1440p Ultra with the HD pack at 70-90 fps. Drop to a R15,000 RTX 4060 build if you are happy with 1080p Ultra and no HD pack.

FPS Targets By Resolution

At 1080p Ultra the RTX 4060 holds 70-90 fps. At 1440p Ultra the RTX 4070 holds 70-90 fps with the HD pack, and past 100 fps without it. The built-in FSR upscaling can push frame rates higher if you prefer extra smoothness over native resolution. For storage, the 1TB NVMe SSD keeps Far Cry 6's large open world streaming smoothly; fast travel and high-speed driving across Yara load assets quickly, avoiding the texture pop-in a slower drive introduces.

FAQ

How much VRAM does Far Cry 6 need?

Around 12GB for the HD texture pack. Standard Ultra runs fine on 8GB, but the 12GB RTX 4070 is needed to enable the pack without stutter.

What FPS does Far Cry 6 hit at 1440p Ultra?

Around 70-90 fps on an RTX 4070 with the HD pack, rising past 100 fps without it or with FSR upscaling enabled.

Is the Ryzen 5 7600 enough for Far Cry 6?

Yes. The game's CPU demand is moderate, so the Ryzen 5 7600 pairs well with an RTX 4060 or RTX 4070 without bottlenecking.
