Ubisoft Far Cry 5 PC System Requirements
Ubisoft today has published the Far Cry 5 PC System Requirements, ahead of its launch on 27 March on multiple platforms. The game on PC will get extra graphics tweak options. Overall, the requirements are not that bad at all for Full HD and Quad HD gamers. Ultra HD might get a little more beefy of a requirement though.
The Producer of Far Cry 5 is keen that you know the PC version is important to Ubi by stating, “PC has always been a key element of Far Cry’s DNA, and this couldn’t be truer with Far Cry 5”.
The game will allow settings like aspect ration, FOV, FPS locking and resolution scaling can all be fooled around with, “The game will auto-detect the user’s hardware and will set the matching quality preset and resolution.”

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 SLI for 4k@60fps? Really?
Are we really recommending SLI in 2018? Damn Ubisoft, you are really confident in your engine capabilities.
FC4 ran beautifully on my SLI setup, and it this is still a DirectX 11 game, so what's the problem? 1080 Ti can't maintain 4k@60fps maxed in some new games, so recommending SLI seems perfectly reasonable.

I think recent PC Frostbite games have Atmos support, Final Fantasy XV as well.
Ubisoft games like AC:Origins has it on the X1X, not so sure about the PC though.
I do agree that PC support will likely be variable, the amount of PC gamers who run a PC through a receiver is likely quite small.
I'm not sure there even are any receivers that can deal with high refresh rates.
I'm liking how they listed more detail regarding the requirements for this game, it even looks like I could get good 1080/60 performance with a single 970, never mind 2x970
Advertising SLI support is brave of them as well, It's also rare these days to see 8gb ram in the recommend part.

Min specs don't affect me anymore because at some point i will grab the game on sale then leave it sitting there unplayed on my Uplay account along with FC2/3/4/Blood dragon/Primal, and as a side effect or this and a positive bonus, i have never had one single bug, crash, driver or game issue with any of those games. :p

Easter eggs from 2 of those 3 screenshots, James Lynch and Old Yeller make an appearance in the game.

Fake/extravagant requirements. Just SSE 4.2 needed like ACO. Not cores/ghz. Sit back and relax.
