Ubisoft has released the PC specs for Far Cry 3, easing some fears of PC-melting, while also giving some a reason to upgrade.

The publisher says an internet connection is required for a one-time activation process. After that, you can play the game offline with no internet connection, thanks to Ubisoft dropping their always-on DRM system.
