Far Cry Primal requires a post Stone Age PC, specs revealed

Running Far Cry Primal will require ownership of a PC produced after the invention of the wheel and discovery of fire, but not much more than that at minimum end of things.

Ubisoft has issued the PC system specs today in a handy blog post. Here are the minimum and recommended system line-ups.

Minimum:

Supported OS: Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64-bit versions only).
Processor: Intel Core i3-550 | AMD Phenom II X4 955 or equivalent.
RAM: 4GB.
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (1GB VRAM) | AMD Radeon HD 5770 (1GB VRAM) or equivalent.
Hard Disk Space: 20 GB.
Peripherals: Windows-compatible keyboard, mouse, optional controller.

If you want to run it at higher resolutions and at settings above “low”, then you’ll need a box more like this.

Recommended:

Supported OS: Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64-bit versions only).
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600K | AMD FX-8350 or equivalent.
RAM: 8GB.
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 | AMD Radeon R9 280X or equivalent.
Hard Disk Space: 20 GB.
Peripherals: Windows-compatible keyboard, mouse, optional controller.

Not a vast distance away from what was required to make Far Cry 4 look pretty.

Far Cry Primal will be released on PC in March (a few weeks after the console release, annoyingly).
