Battlefield V PC Graphics Benchmark

Subsequently a preliminar look at Battleground V during the open up beta stage, nosotros're dorsum to check out GPU performance for the official release of the game. It was early September when we gave the game a starting time whirl and found solid performance from both AMD and Nvidia GPUs.

The only problem nosotros faced with that exam was that our benchmarks were limited to the multiplayer portion, which makes gathering accurate and reliable information quite challenging.

For testing a single hardware configuration, the multiplayer portion of the game is useful as it's very taxing, and it'll give you a expert idea of how that setup handles the game. Just straight comparing that data with a 2nd system is difficult and time consuming to do accurately as the margin of error is larger. Therefore comparing half a dozen or more hardware configurations isn't a feasible option.

With that in heed, for this test we are using the single role player entrada and since nosotros're simply looking at GPU performance for now, this should non exist an issue. This has immune u.s.a. to benchmark a full of 38 new and previous generation graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia.

'Operation Dragoon' has been selected for this criterion session. The test starts at a checkpoint where the objective is to destroy anti-air positions and runs for lx seconds. Nosotros brainstorm past taking a few shots with a sniper burglarize, then motion left and take a path upwards the side of the base and from there we take a few more shots and continue to motility along the left side of the base of operations until the test ends. The results are based on an average of three runs.

Testing was performed at 1080p, 1440p and 4K resolutions using the ultra quality preset and DirectX 11. We found during the game's beta that DX12 acquired frame time issues with noticeable stuttering and unfortunately that notwithstanding appears to exist the case. That'due south too terrible news for the yet to exist included ray tracing features.

For this criterion we're using our newly updated GPU test rig sporting a Core i9-9900K clocked at five GHz with 16GB of DDR4-3400 memory. For GeForce cards the 416.81 driver was used, and for Radeon GPUs, the Adrenalin xviii.11.1 driver.

Benchmarks

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. If you desire to keep frame rates to a higher place lx fps at all times, the R9 390X or GTX 980 will do ameliorate. We're seeing even performance between the older AMD and Nvidia GPUs in Battleground V, in fact, the Maxwell optimization seems a bit better than what we've been seeing recently, so that's swell news.

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. However with the RX 570 selling for as little equally $150 right now, that would be my go to budget option for Battlefield V without question.

Then for those that desire 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. Beyond that nosotros're starting to become into overkill territory for a lot of gamers. I'd be targeting something like the GTX 1080, RTX 2070 or Vega 64 for 1080p high refresh rate Battlefield V activity.

Please note nosotros're not including Radeon RX 400 serial GPUs as for the about part they were just rebranded equally the RX 500 series.

Jumping up to 1440p and we detect a very panel-ish 30fps from the GTX 960 and R9 380. The R9 390 and GTX 970 are almost equally irksome as I'd consider going here and even then I'd drop the quality preset to high at 1440p.

For a smoother experience you'll require a Fury or GTX 980 Ti GPU. Oddly, our Nano graphics carte which shouldn't be that much slower than the Fury was performing strangely in Battlefield V, coming in much slower than expected. Nosotros'll double check these results as soon every bit we're able to, but for now we've been locked out of Battlefield V on every Origin account we have access to... due for excessive hardware changes, cheers EA!

From the current generation GPUs y'all're going to need a 6GB 1060 or RX 580, with the Radeon GPU looking to exist the prefered choice as it delivered 16% more than performance. We also see Vega 56 beating the GTX 1070 by a 9% margin, while Vega 64 matched the GTX 1080 and RTX 2070. Still, if you want big frame rates, then you tin can't go by the RTX 2080 or GTX 1080 Ti so some, delivered by the insane RTX 2080 Ti.

Moving on, we have the 4K criterion results and unsurprisingly the flagship GPUs from 2022 and 2022 aren't cutting it anymore (when using 'ultra' quality settings, of form).

The GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2080 exercise well at 4K, merely this is where the RTX 2080 Ti comes into its own delivering over 60 fps at all times, making for a breathtaking 4K gaming experience. Nosotros've said it before, and we'll say it once again, the RTX 2080 Ti actually is something else for 4K gaming. It's an absurdly expensive GPU, but information technology's the only RTX graphics card that tin enable an experience seen by no other GPU.

Capping off our benchmark tests, we've got some quality scaling performance with the GTX 1060 6GB and RX 580. Dropping downwardly from Ultra to High boosts functioning of the RX 580 past 22%, while we see a slightly larger 25% gain for the GTX 1060.

Then from High to Medium sees a massive 33% boost for the GTX 1060 and 34% for the RX 580 and at this point in that location isn't much need to seek out the low quality preset.

Endmost Remarks

In a perfect world we'd have shown you fifty-fifty more results, especially a test with a dozen or so older GPUs at 1080p using the medium quality preset, to give those of you running older hardware a practiced idea of what to expect. Unfortunately, due to Origin/EA'south ridiculous hardware limitations our accounts got locked a few times until nosotros could test again 24 hours subsequently. And and then we've been hammering at this for a while and believe we've built a strong enough example to make recommendations.

Equally earlier, those wanting to play Battleground 5 at 1080p/60 fps in all of its celebrity y'all demand nothing more than than a GTX 970/1060, R9 390 or 570. Then at 1440p the Radeon Fury, Fury 10, RX 580, GTX 980 Ti or GTX 1060 6GB will be required. Honestly, given how great the game looks that'due south not a alpine order. On that note, despite the still buggy DX12 implementation the game plays extremely well when using DirectX xi.
