On a Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Far Cry 6 runs at roughly 57 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 28FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) is a handheld graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Far Cry 6 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 57 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 28 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 57 FPS at 1080p and 34 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 19 FPS at 4K. Far Cry 6 offers ray tracing, but the Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 28 | 57 |
| 1440p | 17 | 34 |
| 4K | 10 | 19 |
