Far Cry New Dawn’s gameplay isn’t that different when compared to the previous titles from the series – you can explore one huge open-world and there is a decent number of single-player missions and some other side missions as well. If you are a completionist, you can try to do all the in-game achievements, or maybe you can try the co-op mode and the multiplayer as well.

On the graphics side, the game isn’t the lightest on system resources but most of the mid-range GPUs will do the job if you aren’t too pretentious.

For today’s comparison, we have two super-powerful 2021 graphics solutions – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) and RTX 3070 (130W).
