Far Cry 6

@Tombstone Yes, just restarting after applying graphics options.

The graphics options has the "see the graphic options change" like Division 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands has.

Sounds good, do you notice much difference between running the HD pack and not running it.. graphics wise?

I'll have to do a series of comparisons, the RAM usage from first getting to control the player is around 13.4GB on max settings at 3840x1200.

It's dark in the beginning so I'll wait until day time when I'm free to roam.

Here's a screenshot from the start, HD textures installed. Thought the lighting shows it off good here as well as RAM/VRAM usage.

AMD Rewards claimed on Uplay and downloading now.

So when does this unlock?

Well certainly not now, spent hours downloading and then find it not actually playable yet. I thought it was being released today?

7th October. Hence why NZ unlocked already as its 7th October there.

Stick the screenshot in the GPU Far Cry 6 thread they are having kittens over there squabbling about VRAM usage and that will be like letting off a Hydrogen bomb.

Who cares about VRAM or HDR etc etc just friggin enjoy the game.

Some people might, and I am enjoying it...

To be fair, I asked what the visual difference was between having the HD pack installed and not having the HD pack installed, so you could say that I asked for the screenshot

"Almost a buy, wait for sale" is his verdict, due to performance. Hopefully that will be patched relatively quickly. Thankfully, I get the ultimate edition included with my Ubiplay+ membership anyway, so I dont need to buy or wait for a sale

I know it was a jokey response to Dig post ?

Hard to listen to that review, take a breath every now and again.

Ahhhh, then my apologies, my humour gland is slightly off kilter today

Guru3D have a good review. Performs quite well at 4k - 70fps - turn off all the potato res enhancement options (as they are on in the review for apples to apples) for a very good 4k experience.

FSR implemented very well too.

Me too. Used VPN; TunnelBear free account, which gives 500Mb and it was just enough to get it started as you have to point it to the pre-loaded files on your hard drive and it verifies the install, then allows you to play.

Do you need to enable or something the HD pack?

Digital X · 6 Oct 2021 at 16:06

I can't see a toggle for it. I'm assuming it's gonna have to be redownloaded each time, unless I'm missing something obvious.

In Ubi COnnect go to Games then click FC6 and you will see the HD pack DLC available to download.

Digital X · 6 Oct 2021 at 16:27

I have it installed, I meant for comparisons sake. I'll have to redownload it each time to compare it with it on and off.

I have downloaded it but do I need to enable it or something in the settings?
