On a NVIDIA RTX 5090 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU), Far Cry 6 runs at roughly 114 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 116FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 5090 is a flagship 4K-class graphics card with 32GB of VRAM, and Far Cry 6 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-14900K, it runs great at 4K — about 114 FPSwith 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 263 FPS at 1080p and 202 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 114 FPS at 4K. Far Cry 6 supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 5090 can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. Its 32GB of VRAM is plenty for Far Cry 6, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 263 | 263 |
| 1440p | 205 | 202 |
| 4K | 116 | 114 |
