Will my build play Far Cry 4?

[M11293]

Greetings,

Here are my build specs. Will it have issue playing Far Cry 4? I got an 8 out of 10 for my CPU on Game Debate. GPU and RAM have 10 scores. Will my CPU limit me from playing this game?

CPU: AMD X4 860K 3.7 GHz Quad Core
GPU: R9 270x Toxic OC 2 GB
RAM: 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz

Also, I am interested in getting a better GPU in the future or Crossfiring this one with another 270x Toxic OC. What would you do?

So far my build can play the following games very well...

Wolfenstein: 60+ FPS at 1080p with all settings on high (no ultra I am aware of).
Mordor: 60+ FPS at 1080p with all settings on high except for a few on ultra (everything ultra gives me about 45 FPS).
Ryse: 60+ FPS at 1080p with all settings on highest (no ultra I am aware of).

I am going to try Alien: Isolation and Star Citizen (Thanks AMD for the free games!) today. I will report how those go.

My only concern is that my CPU may not uphold game performance for Far Cry 4 like I would want. That said, the 860K has been reported to not bottle neck any GPU except for top line cards (290X) in crossfire/SLI. I may OC the 860K to 4.0 GHz in the meantime.

Greatest fear: UBISOFT will pull another Assassins Creed Unity, and it won't run well on AMD hardware.

Thoughts?

Hey I was just browsing the forum here and saw your question, and I may have an answer for you. Have you got around to dogfighting in Star Citizen?

yes it should have no problems running far cry 4, also i dont recommend CF'n two mid range cards. sell the 270x and try and get yourself an r9 290, they have come down in price by quite a bit.
