in nvidia gameworks titles a 290 is choked down to 680 performance farcry4 im guessing the game run terrible until amd can make a driver to try fix the gameworks problems but pc modders will probably be first to fix the game with mods same as farcry 3 got fixed and inproved by modders

Actually, performance on the last COD was not bad.. well it dont really use extensive gamework features ( just HBAO+ and TXAA ( who is not available anyway for AMD ).
Now, sadly, if it run as good as Assassin Creed on AMD gpu's, we can worry.
But like the engine look based on the FC3 one aka Dunia 2, and the performance was good on AMD gpu's with this one, it should be ok, untill developpers have completely flush the performance for AMD. ( This will be interessant to see, because there's surely new features implemented, but based on same engine, if the Dunia2 heavy modified version of Farcry4 run bad on AMD... something went wrong )
But yes:
- 7970 (Ghz) - 280x = GTX680... Same generation.
- 780-780TI = 290x
( i have forget they use hairwork too )
BLEH!
Another gameworks thing... 290X destroys a 680 in most things. I won't be buying this if it's not on steam anyway.

Uplay = I won't play
Sad because I have the perfect GPU to play their game!

Yeah it melts too! 🤓

Don't think a game has ever had the specs correct, no surprise.

Farcry 3 had a recommended GPU of a gtx480...it took a gtx780 to run that game with a 60 frame min on ultra with 2MSAA.
I am honestly worried that FC4 won't run smooth on even a gtx980 given how retarded watch dogs ran.
@Spets
Nah man, remember when Crysis ran great on the recommended 8800gtx...lol.
Even on my 980 OC I get drops to 30 frames in random places.

Melts? Nah, with a 512bit bus it even leaves your 970 behind. Especially on higher resolutions.

I think the problem isn't the recommended or minimum specs, the real problems lays in the fact that sometimes they block the installation for computers which don't get the minimum, may be an i3 processor can handle this but if its blocked you just get busted.

I heard it was a typo. Should be 280X and not 290X 🙂 Let's be rational here people.

Of course its a typo mistake, gtx 680 is not even compared to a 280x , maybe a 280(non x) but surely not a 290x lol. Ubisoft BS as allways .
Firestrike 2013 performance
Gtx 680 =6050 = AVG 25fps
R9 280x =7324 = AVG 40fps
R9 290x =9759 = AVG 70 FPS

the problem at that time was the technology of the graphic cards , DX 11 GPUs were not mature , u could change to DX9 you would get a nice FPS boost , but not dx11
these day however , GPUs are fast and well adapted to the existing technologies .... and the fact it is optemized for nvidia is a nice thing to me i like TXAA makes games really great ...
DX 12 still haven' offered anything eyecandy to see yet ( from developpers perspectivs )

my rig will eat it up too.

How funny. You should have either GTX 680 or 290x lol, like both of these cards perform the same :P
well played nvidia :P paying ubisoft and sh*t 😀
Deathchild
Sure it was a typo, Ubisoft released a typo on their official specs for Far Cry 4.
Sure. 🙂 😀

Seems to me the industry is in a phase where it's still more worthwhile to develop for the (ridiculously expensive) old junker consoles with their existing user base, than to push the next-gen ports on other than relatively high end PCs if at all. Which makes Destiny spring to mind.
Netherwind
Hold on, these specs are not directly from Ubisoft, they are on the nVidia web site and someone there made this error.
