Ubisoft Reveals Hardware Specs for Far Cry 3, Is Your System Ready?

Assuming no more delays, you don't have long to wait until Ubisoft releases Far Cry 3 to PC, which is slated to ship December 4 in North America and November 29 in Europe. That gives you plenty of time to spruce up your system and make sure it meets the minimum or recommended hardware requirements that Ubisoft revealed today.

You don't need a million-dollar system to run Far Cry 3, just a modest setup.
