In a recent interview with WccfTech, Ubisoft 3D Team Lead Programmer Stephanie Brenham revealed that Ray Tracing and FidelityFX Super Resolution support would be exclusive to the PC version of Far Cry 6. For Consoles, Far Cry 6 was developed with 4K 60 FPS framerates in mind on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, and to achieve these performance targets, the game's console versions couldn't make use of ray tracing. 

Far Cry 6's ray tracing implementation is two-fold. The game supports Hybrid Raytraced Reflections, apparently utilising screenspace reflections and ray-traced reflections to deliver optimal performance and realistic raytraced shadows. These features are only available for DirectX 12 Ultimate compatible hardware on PC. AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) feature is designed to deliver enhanced performance while delivering similar to native levels of image quality. Unlike competing solutions like Nvidia's DLSS technology, FSR supports all modern GPU hardware, allowing the feature to be used by both old and new graphics cards from AMD, Nvidia, and Intel. This means that all PC gamers can benefit from AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution feature, unlike DLSS, which is an Nvidia RTX exclusive feature.
 
Far Cry 6 is due to launch on October 7th on PC and consoles. PC gamers can look at the game's full PC system requirements here.

At launch, Far Cry 6 promises the franchise's largest playground to date, taking place on the fictional island nation of Yara, which a tyrannical dictator called Anton Castillo rules. The game spans from the beaches of Yara through its jungles and into the game's capital city. Players will take part in a revolution that aims to strip Castillo of his power and liberate the nation from his oppression.
 
This is an interesting concept and I hope the ray tracing adds better visuals for the game.

Ray-Tracing isn't going to change the fact that the general gameplay hasn't been altered since Far Cry 2....
 
....and yet, I still bought, played, and beat every single one of them.🤔🤯
So what does that say about me....?.....

I assume that means you're an awesome PC gamer.

The fact of the matter is that ray tracing isn't really noticeable, and with limited quantities of GPUs available that can actually run it without a huge dip in performance. It's a non-factor...
 
Nvidia should spend more time working on overall performance, less time on gimmicks.
