Far Cry Primal Notebook Benchmarks

Stone Age with modern technology. While the fourth iteration was placed in an imaginary region somewhere close to the Himalayas, “Far Cry Primal” jumps back more than 10000 years. We checked the hardware requirements for surviving in the wilderness.

For the original German article, see here.

Graphics

As with the predecessor, “Far Cry Primal” is based on Ubisoft Montreal's own Dunia 2 engine. Therefore, the graphics quality is very similar to the previous title. Not only does “Far Cry Primal”  convinces with sharp textures, nice illumination and rich vegetation but the details of the figures and animals are also pretty good. However, there is still room for improvements in terms of effects. Besides the water presentation, the flames are rather second-rate.

However overall, the technology leaves a good impression. “Far Cry Primal” certainly does not have to hide behind other first-person shooters or action blockbusters like “Call of Duty Black Ops 3”, “Rise of the Tomb Raider” or “Just Cause 3”. The title cannot quite match the graphics quality of “Star Wars Battlefront” (Frostbite 3 engine).

The graphics menu is a positive aspect. Changes to the settings are accepted without a restart and “Far Cry Primal” also offers several presets that adjust the overall quality with just one click. If you want to have control over all settings, you will find around 10 individual options in the sub-menu "Quality Settings". Unfortunate: Unlike many competitors, the title only supports the anti-aliasing modes FXAA and SMAA. High-quality versions like MSAA and TXAA are missing completely and have to be enforced via drivers.

Speaking of drivers: We did not have any problems with Nvidia devices with the brand-new ForceWare 362.00. Currently, many players are having problems with launch issues, errors and crashes.

We only had a problem with the activation limit of the gaming platform Uplay (is required for the installation), which – similar to Origin – allows only a certain number of new systems per day. This means that we have to add benchmarks for AMD devices over the next few days.

Otherwise, the technology leaves a sophisticated impression and we did not encounter any serious graphics errors or bugs during the tests. Compared to “Far Cry 4”, we even noticed some small improvements. For instance, you can now skip the annoying intro videos. Subjectively, the loading times are slightly shorter. Another surprise is the moderate file size. While other titles from 2015 and 2016 occupy more than 30 GB, “Far Cry Primal”  needs only 16 GB.

The title does not seem to have very high requirements in terms of processor. As long as the CPU is somewhat up to date, the limiting factor will usually be the graphics card. The processor only had a certain influence with minimum settings on our Intel test systems. As far as we can say, graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia are pretty much on par.

Benchmark

We really have to praise the integrated benchmark that runs for almost one minute and shows a camera flight through a heavily vegetated valley. Based on our experience, the frame rate of the benchmark represents actual gameplay very well, so the results are very meaningful. You can enjoy “Far Cry” with anything above 35 fps if occasional stutters are not an issue for you.

Note: The VRAM indicator at the end of the benchmark (see video) should not be trusted. For starters, the value varies from one benchmark run to another, and there are also strange outliers in both directions on some systems. We still checked all presets in FHD with a GeForce GTX 960M (2 GB VRAM). Here are the average results of two runs:

  • Low @70% VRAM load
  • Medium @80% VRAM load
  • High @82% VRAM load
  • Very High @84% VRAM load
  • Ultra @94% VRAM load

Results

As with most first-person shooters, the hardware requirements are quite high. The minimum requirements are already pretty steep. You need at least a mid-range GPU to play “Far Cry Primal” with a notebook. Only a GeForce GT 750M or 940M, manages somewhat smooth game play at 1280x720 pixels and Low preset. Users with older or less powerful entry-level GPUs or mainstream chips like the GeForce GT 740M or HD Graphics 4600 will probably regret the purchase.

You will need a serious gaming notebook if you want to play the title at 1920x1080 pixels. Low details require at least a GeForce GTX 860M and medium settings at least a GTX 960M. You should use a GeForce GTX 870M or better for high graphics settings, while the preset Ultra requires a modern high-end chip (GTX 970M or better).

Currently, 3840x2160 is not smoothly playable on any mobile chip with good graphics settings. Even desktop chips like the GeForce GTX 980 are not powerful enough for a combination of 4K and High. We will have to wait and see if the performance can be improved via updates. All our benchmarks were performed with the official retail version, including day 1 patch (1.1.0).

5Stutters – This game is very likely to stutter and have poor frame rates. Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, average frame rates are expected to fall below 25fps
May Stutter – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game. Based on interpolated information from surrounding graphics cards of similar performance levels, stutters and poor frame rates are expected.
30Fluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 25fps
40Fluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 35fps
60Fluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 58fps
May Run Fluently – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game. Based on interpolated information from surrounding graphics cards of similar performance levels, fluent frame rates are expected.
?Uncertain – This graphics card experienced unexpected performance issues during testing for this game. A slower card may be able to achieve better and more consistent frame rates than this particular GPU running the same benchmark scene.
Uncertain – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game and no reliable interpolation can be made based on the performances of surrounding cards of the same class or family.
The value in the fields displays the average frame rate of all values in the database. Move your cursor over the value to see individual results.
