Jumping up to 1440p and we find a very console-ish 30fps from the GTX 960 and R9 380.
Please note we're not including Radeon RX 400 series GPUs as for the most part they were just rebranded as the RX 500 series. I'd be targeting something like the GTX 1080, RTX 2070 or Vega p high refresh rate Battlefield V action. Beyond that we're starting to get into overkill territory for a lot of gamers.
Then for those that want to keep 1080p frame rates above 60 fps at all times, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or Radeon RX 580 will do the trick nicely. However with the RX 570 selling for as little as $150 right now, that would be my go to budget option for Battlefield V without question. Looking at current generation GPUs, for an average of 60 fps you'll want the GTX 1060 3GB or RX 570, both of which did well at 1080p. We're seeing even performance between the older AMD and Nvidia GPUs in Battlefield V, in fact, the Maxwell optimization seems a bit better than what we've been seeing recently, so that's great news.
If you want to keep frame rates above 60 fps at all times, the R9 390X or GTX 980 will do better. Starting with previous generation GPUs, we find that for an average of 60 fps at 1080p you'll need a Radeon R9 390 or GeForce GTX 970 graphics card.
For GeForce cards the 416.81 driver was used, and for Radeon GPUs, the Adrenalin 18.11.1 driver. Update: Now live TechSpot's Real-Time Ray Tracing Battlefield V Performance Testįor this benchmark we're using our newly updated GPU test rig sporting a Core i9-9900K clocked at 5 GHz with 16GB of DDR4-3400 memory. That's also terrible news for the yet to be included ray tracing features. We found during the game's beta that DX12 caused frame time issues with noticeable stuttering and unfortunately that still appears to be the case. Testing was performed at 1080p, 1440p and 4K resolutions using the ultra quality preset and DirectX 11. The results are based on an average of three runs. We begin by taking a few shots with a sniper rifle, then move left and take a path up the side of the base and from there we take a few more shots and continue to move along the left side of the base until the test ends. The test starts at a checkpoint where the objective is to destroy anti-air positions and runs for 60 seconds. 'Operation Dragoon' has been selected for this benchmark session.
This has allowed us to benchmark a total of 38 new and previous generation graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia. With that in mind, for this test we are using the single player campaign and since we're only looking at GPU performance for now, this should not be an issue. Therefore comparing half a dozen or more hardware configurations isn't a viable option. But directly comparing that data with a second system is difficult and time consuming to do accurately as the margin of error is larger. The only problem we faced with that test was that our benchmarks were limited to the multiplayer portion, which makes gathering accurate and reliable data quite challenging.įor testing a single hardware configuration, the multiplayer portion of the game is useful as it's very taxing, and it'll give you a good idea of how that setup handles the game.
It was early September when we gave the game a first whirl and found solid performance from both AMD and Nvidia GPUs. After a preliminar look at Battlefield V during the open beta phase, we're back to check out GPU performance for the official release of the game.
