Speaking of wild animals, my loyal boar Horatio compliments my ranged attacks as a tank, scattering screaming Highwaymen like bowling pins so I can more easily pick them off with my sniper rifle before running in to clean up with my shotgun or knife. Vehicles and barrels explode, fire spreads across grass and trees, enemies recklessly charge and scream and bombard you with mortars or light you up with flamethrowers, with the occasional wild animal or friendly citizen getting caught up in the chaos. New Dawn has a benchmark utility and I'll post the full results soon.Ĭombat is the same frantic and fun gunplay as in the past few Far Cry games.

Occasionally there were dips down to mid-50s but overall it was a very smooth ride, and that's pretty rare for my PC with everything turned up (except for motion blur, which was turned off). With a GTX 980 at 1920x1080 on Ultra settings Far Cry New Dawn ran very well for me, with framerates hitting as high as 80 but more typically around 60-65 fps.
