clutchc :
It should run Far Cry (1) with no problem. Maybe not at the highest resolution and settings, but it should run fine.
But what's this about the i7 system being too much machine?
Intel i7 4770K + GTX 760 + Win 7 Pro = FC1 running fantastically, but I get tearing or smearing of weapons, especially. The GTX 760 does not support FC1, in fact the oldest game it supports is FC3. Runs New games perfectly. I am trying to find a modern, yet not too powerful CPU and GPU to run Win XP and FarCry 1, as well as a few pieces of software that will not even load on the new Win 7 machine.
Thanks for your help!
