Far Cry 4

Far Cry 4 is an open world action-adventure first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows. The game was released in North America, Australia, and Europe on November 18, 2014. The game follows Ajay Ghale, a young Kyrati-American of Nepali origin who returns to his native country of Kyrat (a fictional Himalayan Country) to spread his deceased mother’s ashes. Kyrat was an autonomous state in the Himalayas ruled by separate Kyrati Kings. Kyrat is derived from Kirati, a collection of Himalayan people originating from Tibet bordering the Himalayas. Ajay finds the country in a state of civil war between Kyrat’s Royal Army led by the country’s eccentric and tyrannical king Pagan Min and the Golden Path, a rebel movement fighting to free Kyrat from Min’s oppressive rule. The choices Ajay makes will determine the fate of Kyrat. Wikipedia

Far Cry 4 is another absolutely stunning game that ran amazingly well on the hardware we benched. The GTX 970 in particular managed an average of 90 FPS at 1080p and even stayed above the 30 FPS average at 4K! While the FPS jumped around more during 1080p, the numbers were all above 60 FPS and made it a lot less noticeable. When the FPS hovers around the 30 FPS line, jumps, both high and low, can be a bit more troublesome. If running at 4K with a single card we’d recommend turning off the AA and possibly turning down a few of the other settings to make the experience a little more constant.
