Can I Run Far Cry New Dawn?
Ubisoft Montreal released Far Cry New Dawn in 2019. It is an action adventure game, published by Ubisoft. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Being 7 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. It is localised into 15 languages according to the store listing. With more than 31 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. There are 50 achievements to chase. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a world after its collapse, moving through one continuous open world. The publisher supplies 4 storefront screenshots of these environments. The view is from a first person view. That openness is what costs performance. Far Cry New Dawn has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves.
Why Far Cry New Dawn is demanding
Far Cry New Dawn is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 ( target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Far Cry New Dawn. Far Cry New Dawn takes about 30 GB of disk space. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 4 GB. Far Cry New Dawn needs 64 bit Windows. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Far Cry New Dawn?
Far Cry New Dawn targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (2GB) or AMD Radeon R9 270X (2GB) or better and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4GB) or AMD Radeon R9 290X (4GB) or better for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.98x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.11x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.49x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Far Cry New Dawn's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
