Can you play Far cry 6 on ryzen 5 laptop processors with vega 8 ?

 FAR CRY 6 ON VEGA 8

Far Cry 6 is a 2021 action-adventure first-person shooter game developed by Ubisoft Toronto and published by Ubisoft. It is the sixth main installment in the Far Cry series. the title is quite demanding and its listed minimum system requirements are -              

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 1200 3.1GHz or Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz
• RAM: 8 GB
• OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
• VIDEO CARD: AMD Radeon RX 460 4GB or Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 4GB
• PIXEL SHADER: 5.1
• VERTEX SHADER: 5.1
• FREE DISK SPACE: 60 GB
• DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 4 GB

as you can see the required vram is 4gb while the ryzen 5 2500u/3500u have only 1/2gb of dedicated video memory. but still they have sharable video memory so we have a chance. if you have ryzen 5 2500u with 8 gb of ram then the fps will be about-

Average fps (~):

720p

1080p

now you might be thinking this is quite unplayable but you can make this 20 fps to 30 with using the programs listed below.

AMD FSR -

FEDILITY SUPER RESOLUTION (FSR) - is a type of rendering technique that looks to boost framerates in games and enable quality high-resolution gaming. you can use fsr to increase your fps by 35-40%. the good news is far cry 6 is supported by amd fsr so your fps is around 25-27 now (at 720p low).

now you can use some config files to increase you fps by 10-15%. you can get the config files from various youtube video. so now your fps is about 30, which is not bad for a laptop integrated graphics.

RAZER CORTEX

it is a system boosting program which helps to free up ram which is important in laptop as several background programs takes too much ram, which results in low avaliability of ram.

RAM DOES MATTER

as we are going to play a AAA game on integrated graphics we need to make sure the dedicated vram is atleast 2gb. in ryzen 5 2500u the dedicated vram is 1gb and if you have 16 gb ram in your laptop you will be having an advantage as vega 8 has around 3.5 gb shared vram which can help you to increase fps even more. conclusion: if you have 8gb (dual channel) then you can play the game with lowest graphics at around 27-31 fps, if you have 16 gb (dual channel) you can play with low graphics at 30+ fps.

after using fsr and applying config files you can get 30fps which is good considering we have a weak gpu. ryzen mobile processors are a good as they provide excellent performance with budget laptops, you can play older far cry titles like far cry 4,5 and new dawn with around 30 fps (low setting). far cry 6 is not poorly optimized so if you want to enjoy a good story with balanced fps and graphics you can give it a try.
