FAR CRY 5 Gets A PC Launch Trailer As AMD And Nvidia Release New Drivers For Radeon And GeForce Graphics Cards

Far Cry 5 is currently the fourth most popular game on Steam, right after CS: GO, DOTA and PUBG, with 83,046 current players, beating last year's Assassin’s Creed Origins and Ghost Recon Wildlands with ease. It looks like PC players are pleased with the port's quality and thanks to Ubisoft's partnership with AMD, owners of Radeon graphics cards can enjoy one of the best looking games out there.

The PC launch trailer showcases the features that Ubisoft has produced in partnership with AMD, which includes wide color gamut, better contrast, parallel workload, FreeSync 2, and full support for AMD Crossfire for multi-GPU play. But dear GeForces owners, Ubisoft remembers about you too.

Nvidia has released its Game Ready 391.35 drivers for Far Cry 5. The new drivers shouldn't change performance much and mostly focus on bug fixes. Be sure to check out the full list of improvements:

Security Updates in this Release

CVE-2018-6248 – Vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler for DxgkDdiEscape where the software uses a sequential operation to read or write a buffer, but it uses an incorrect length value that causes it to access memory that is outside of the bounds of the buffer which may lead to denial of service or possible escalation of privileges

CVE-2018-6249 – Vulnerability in kernel mode layer handler where a NULL pointer dereference may lead to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges

CVE-2018-6250 – Vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape where a NULL pointer dereference occurs which may lead to denial of service or possible escalation of privileges

CVE-2018-6251 – Vulnerability in Directx 10 Usermode driver, where specially crafted pixel shader can cause writing to unallocated memory which may lead to denial of service or potential code execution

CVE-2018-6252 – Vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler for DxgkDdiEscape where the software allows an actor access to restricted functionality that is unnecessary to production usage, and which may result in denial of service
