Ghost Recon Wildlands is an action adventure game from Ubisoft Paris, released in 2017. Ubisoft published it. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. 16 languages are covered by the store listing. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller. There are 57 achievements to chase. Its Steam review count passes 91 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. At 9 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own.

Setting and environment

Players spend their time in a military setting, moving through one continuous open world. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Ghost Recon Wildlands has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. It is played from a third person view. There are 10 official screenshots to judge the look from.

Why Ghost Recon Wildlands is demanding

The graphics requirement for Ghost Recon Wildlands is light. Hardware around NVIDIA GeForce GTX970/GTX 1060 or AMD R9 390/RX480 ( is enough, so Ghost Recon Wildlands runs on machines never bought for gaming. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. Disk footprint is light, near 50 GB. At 4 GB, VRAM is a non issue for Ghost Recon Wildlands. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying Ghost Recon Wildlands.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Ghost Recon Wildlands?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Ghost Recon Wildlands targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GeForce GTX660 / AMD R9 270X (2GB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0 or better) and 6 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX970/GTX 1060 or AMD R9 390/RX480 (4GB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0 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

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable2.18x
1440pRuns well1.23x
4KBelow the bar0.54x

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.
