Far Cry 2 — system requirements & benchmark status
This game is in the catalog, but no published review benchmarks have been collected for it yet — so this page carries no frame-rate numbers, no verdicts and no estimates. Below are the publisher's own system requirements and what they say about the hardware the game targets. A game joins the calculator only when published review benchmarks cover both its CPU and GPU sides.
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal · Publisher: Ubisoft · Released: Oct 22, 2008 · Genres: Action

System requirements — Far Cry 2
As published by the publisher on Steam (checked 4 November 2026). Requirements are the publisher's target figures, not measurements — they describe the hardware the developer aims at, not the frame rate any part delivers.

|---|---|---|
| Supported OS | Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista (64 is supported) | — |
| Processor | Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz, Pentium D 2.66 Ghz, AMD Athlon 64 3500+ or better | Intel Core 2 Duo Family, AMD 64 X2 5200+, AMD Phenom or better |

| Hard Drive | 3.5 GB (Multiple saves and user created maps will increase the amount of needed hard disk space.) | — |

Hardware demand level
Low — estimated from the graphics card named in the recommended requirements above (integrated graphics). The demand level classifies the publisher's published requirements only; it is not a benchmark result and predicts no frame rate.
Benchmark status
Not yet measured. Bottleneck Verdict adds a game to the calculator when published review benchmarks cover both sides at the game's highest settings, native resolution, no upscaling — the same bar the measured games met. Until then this page claims no performance figures for Far Cry 2.
