    FC6 PC Requirements?

    I'm wondering what is taking so long from Ubisoft to release the PC requirements for FC6? Same thing happened on Assassin's Creed Valhalla, it was almost the release date when the requirements finally were released for that. Still for both games the pre-order also for PC has been available for months? When I do some googling, the search results just give a bunch of predicted/speculated pc requirements for FC6.

    Anyway, I need some advice if anyone has ANY clue whether my current pc is capable enough for FC6 or not, so I possibly could make a decision on which platform of I better buy the game (I have Xbox one too). My PC specs:

    i7-7700HQ
    16 GB RAM
    GTX 1060 6GB
    512GB SSD (+ 2 TB HDD)

    I'm pretty sure you understand why I want to make sure which platform is better for the pre order, just want to avoid the situation where I finally get the game downloaded on my pc, only to see when it's excessively lagging even on 1080p settings. My pc has a 4K screen, but already seen that it doesn't run many games smoothly with 4K/Ultra. FC5 ran fine with those, but AC Origins: Just about (the pc was quite..hot). AC Odyssey: Forget it

    If any of the recent 2020 Ubisoft games (Hyper Scape, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs Legion, Immortals Fenyx Rising) are any indicator, you may run it on medium or high specs at 30 frames per second with GTX 1060 6GB. You're better off with Xbox One. Since Far Cry 6 is delayed, that gives you more time to upgrade to the Xbox Series X if you are at a budget constraint with PCs.

    GTX 1060 6GB is low-end GPU. Your PC can run FC6, but no one can tell you, on what details. My opinion is, Far Cry 6 will have similar hardware requirements like Far Cry 5. So if you can run FC5, you likely can run FC6, probably with lower graphic settings.

    Maybe it's best to continue into this thread.. So, my computer mentioned in my original message, is kind of broken again. It has already been repaired three times under warranty, and the fault, broken screen hinge, is back from the first repair (same hinge broken again). In the meantime, while waiting for response from seller and computer manufacturer, I have looked at few choices for new computer. So, in order to play FC6 with the new laptop, which one of these would you recommend (and, which one of these would you prefer anyway)?

    Choice 1:

    AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor 3,2 GHz 8-core
    16 GB RAM, 3200 MHz
    1 TB SSD
    RTX 3060 6 GB

    Choice 2:

    i7-10750H 2,6 GHz 6-core
    32 GB RAM, 2933 MHz
    1 TB SSD
    RTX 2070 8 GB

    Both these are in different stores but currently have the same price. Otherwise Choice 2 feels a little more tempting, as it has double RAM (choice 2 ram is slightly slower type than in choice 1 though) and video card has 2 GB more of its own memory. But processor is 0,6 Ghz slower and has less cores? Anyway, if somebody, more than 1 users can have their say, please do so.

    I want to say choice 1 because of ray tracing.

    But they both have RTX? I'm just a bit confused about this userbenchmark site test:

    https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compar...070/4105vs4029

    I thought RTX 30s are better, but that link doesn't seem to say so at least for these 2? Anyway. Still choice1?

    If choice 2 is RTX 2070 Super, then I would say choice 2. Since it's not, I'd still say 3060. Of course I do want to see the recommended requirements for Far Cry 6 first.

    Yes well.. Now I spotted choice 3, sort of. It has same processor as in choice 1 but has RTX 3070 8GB and also 1TB of SSD. Just its screen is "worse" than in choice 1 which was a WQHD, this "choice 3" has just a Full HD screen. But it's 100 euros cheaper than choice 1.. Just won't be in stock in the store before June. We are still waiting for official FC6 pc requirements but I guess processor from my choice 1 and RTX 3070 8 GB should be absolutely enough for good gameplay experience in FC6.

    if you play @1080p you need nothing more than a gtx 1060 6Gb and an i3 8100 3.6Ghz as my personal minimum requirement...
    1080p gaming is a moneysaver...i mean srsly...
