Can the NVIDIA GTX 1080 run Far Cry 6? (2026)

✅ Yes

~62 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 1080 is a entry-level card with 8GB of VRAM, and Far Cry 6 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 62 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 63 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	63	62
1440p	38	61
4K	21	50

💡 Far Cry 6: Dunia engine - the optional HD texture pack needs 11GB+ VRAM; Volumetric Fog and ray tracing are the heaviest settings.

At 1080p expect around 62 FPS, at 1440p about 61 FPS, and at 4K roughly 50 FPS with optimized settings. Far Cry 6 doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
