hello all its my first post here and i guess it goes in here. ok. im trying to save up for a car so im on a limited budget. i have 275.70 cents of walmart gift cards that i can use. my family got me far cry 6 for my birthday today. i installed it on my pc and it just crashes. i looked it up. it could be my video card or computer. too old.

my current system is :
AMD A8 6600k
MSI A78-M35
8GB DDR3 ram 1333mhz
GTX 760
2TB SATA hard drive
LG burner

I'm sorry to say but your entire system is a bottleneck in of itself. The Ryzen 3 1200 listed as minimal requirements is 2-4x faster than what you have.

Edit: I would go buy a game console with the gift card. It will look better, play better and cheaper.

FC6 Requirements:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 1200 3.1 GHz / Intel Core i5-4460 3.2 GHz.
• GPU: AMD RX 460 /NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960.
• VRAM: 4 GB.
• RAM: 8GB (Dual-channel setup)
• STORAGE: 60GB.
• OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)

Let's start with the game's minimum system requirements from Ubisoft:

System requirements for Far Cry 6 | Ubisoft Help

First of all, this game requires a 64 bit operating system as well as DX12 support (Ubisoft does not specify the feature level).

It's not just the CPU that's your problem, your graphics card is also below the minimum requirements.

It doesn't meet the minimum 4GB VRAM requirement for this game. It only has 2GB of VRAM:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Specs

NVIDIA GK104, 1032 MHz, 1152 Cores, 96 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 2048 MB GDDR5, 1502 MHz, 256 bit

www.techpowerup.com

There's also this from that page:

"Even though it supports DirectX 12, the feature level is only 11_0, which can be problematic with newer DirectX 12 titles."

Then AMD says your CPU supports DX11 but doesn't list DX12:

Unclear where you stand with the operating system.

Regardless of the reason for crashing, ir_cow is right, you might be better off getting a console with your gift cards. Your system is nine years old and it isn't cost effective to replace both the CPU and GPU.

Amusingly you might be able to play FC6 via the GeForce NOW cloud streaming service
