Best Far Cry 6 settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Far Cry 6 runs at roughly 82 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 83FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 11GB of VRAM, and Far Cry 6 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 82 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 82 FPS at 1080p and 67 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. Far Cry 6 offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Far Cry 6: Dunia engine - the optional HD texture pack needs 11GB+ VRAM; Volumetric Fog and ray tracing are the heaviest settings.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
Far Cry 6 supports FSR. A good free FPS boost — enable it first, especially with ray tracing on.
Ray Tracing (Reflections / Shadows)Offsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections and sun shadows — heavy for a subtle gain. Turn it off first when chasing frames.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. The optional HD texture pack needs 11GB+ VRAM — on 8GB cards keep it at High, not Ultra.
Volumetric FogHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog and light shafts — one of the heaviest settings here for a subtle look. Drop it a notch first.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is a strong step down from Ultra.
Geometry / Environment DetailHighbaseline
How detailed distant terrain and objects stay. High avoids pop-in cheaply.
VegetationHighbaseline
Density of Yara’s jungle plants and grass. Medium/High is a solid saving in dense areas.
WaterHighbaseline
Water surface detail and reflections. Medium is plenty on the island coasts.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is the clean default; SMAA is sharper but shimmers more.
