Far Cry 6 is a 2021 action-adventure first-person shooter game developed by Ubisoft Toronto and published by Ubisoft. It is the sixth main installment in the Far Cry series and the successor to 2018's Far Cry 5. The game was released on October 7, 2021, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia, and Amazon Luna. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Dunia Engine. We test using the Ultra preset, HD Textures enabled, DX12 API.

Far Cry 6 is slightly less impressive for the new GPUs. At 1080p we can definitely see CPU bottlenecking, as the top three GPUs on the chart are all clustered very close together. The RX 6650 XT is just 5% faster than the 6600 XT, while we see a 7% boost from the 6750 XT when compared to the vanilla 6700 XT.

As for 1440p, we are much more GPU-limited at this resolution, and the RX 6950 XT is now 11% faster than the 6900 XT, which is much more like it. Both the RX 6650 XT and 6750 XT see similar performance uplifts to what we see at 1080p, with each gaining a handful of frames compared to the original models.

Although not designed for 4K gaming, the 6750 XT can do a job here in Far Cry 6, though it is pipped to the post by the RTX 3070. The RX 6950 XT remains at the top of the chart though, but do remember this is an AMD sponsored title and performance definitely favours Team Red.
