    yeah that's true but still rt shadows would benefit a game like this massively.

    Or RTGI like Metro Exodus Enhanced, but that would cut RX6000 perf in half.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but 472.12 drivers are not 'game ready' for Far Cry 6 - while AMD drivers are....

    Pascal performance is subpar i wonder if nvidia will release the drivers to fix that.

    There are probably 10+ driver version already in existence for Nvidia that run the game perfectly fine.

    performance is expected, no dedicated int or fp16 cores.

    1) i game @ 1440p

    2) i have both team red and green

    3) i'm not surprised by these results for two reasons; A) Ubisoft has spent a fortune paying Giancarlo Esposito for TV ads in primetime so i figured they had to make this game easier for consoles which means better for AMD, and B) Fine Wine
    since i bought my 6800xt (first month of release) i have seen progressively better performance in the same games. i have not seen that to the same level with my 2070. as a matter of fact i've seen more progress in frame rates and gameplay in the short time i've owned the 6800xt versus the years i've owned my 2070.

    Nope... You did not understood - now it's clear this is not game ready far cry 6 for Nvidia - only some optimizations - what I mean is this -see image below as example for cyberpunk game ready driver (and it's not... while AMD provided an early access game ready driver) - this is the reason for some strange results between various Nvidia cards:

    Honestly who cares? I can't remember the last time a "game ready" driver actually improved performance. They typically fix a bug or two, if that. Regardless it's Nvidia's fault for not putting one out in time for review.

    It's not about this...there are a lot of sites and reviews where lower priced and older gen Nvidia cards have better performance than newer Nvidia cards...and yes, it's their fault...

    given that you have a 3080 NV should pay attention... but they won't until there's a critical mass of criticism...then you'll see a hotfix

    Nope, we checked this with NVIDIA prior to the start of this article. Their answer:

    Hi Hilbert,

    479.12 from 9/20 was the Game Ready driver for Farcry 6. Please use that driver for the game

    Yep, it's an Ubisoft's game.

    A gendered-center game, a hard-pass, and a worthy contender of getting this game pirated. PERIOD!

    Surprised no one is commenting on how bad the RT is here with those street reflections. At first I thought it was water lol

    Performance seems mostly fine though?
