Far Cry 2 System Requirements Announced
Posted 3 weeks, 6 days ago by Sarah

Ubisoft today announced the minimum system requirements that would be needed to play Far Cry 2 on PCs when it is released later this year. According to the press release, Ubi wants “to make Far Cry 2 as accessible to everyone as possible, and we have worked continuously to optimize Far Cry 2 to achieve this goal.” Accessible to everyone with a higher-end PC, that is. Here are the specs, as provided by Ubisoft:

Minimum requirements

CPU:
Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz, Pentium D 2.66 Ghz, AMD Athlon 64 3500+ or better

Video card:
NVIDIA® 6800 or ATI®X1650 or better
Shader Model 3 required
256 Mb of graphic memory

Memory: 1 Go

Recommended

CPU:
Intel® Core 2 Duo Family, AMD®64 X2 5200+, AMD® Phenom or better

Video card:
NVIDIA® 8600 GTS or better, ATI®X1900 or better
512 Mb of graphic memory

Memory: 2 Go

Sound: 5.1 sound card recommended

Media reader:
DVD-ROM

Supported Video cards:
NVIDIA® 6800, NVIDIA® 7000 series, 8000 series, 9000 series, 200 series. 8800M and 8700M supported for laptops.

What does that mean? I have no idea. It might as well be written in Chinese for all I can understand it. However, I have consulted my friend Coop, who informed me that the requirements are comparable to Crysis. Of course, let’s not forget that this game is also coming out for the Xbox 360 and PS3, where the requirements are that your console works. Sold!

The best part of being a PC gamer is the year directly after building a system, in which you can play any game and feel really awesome about it. The subsequent 3 years until you are finally forced to buy a new computer...not so much.

I am in that first year, and I will revel in how sweet it feels.
