Battlefield V is another great war game from the long-running series. It is extremely visually impressive, and was critically praised for nailing every aspect, from multiplayer to story. Battlefield V was also one of the first titles to support hardware-accelerated DirectX Ray Tracing in real-time. However, the extreme visual fidelity and lack of fine optimization set the lower bar of entry into this game pretty high. The system requirements for Battlefield V are even higher than what an average AAA title in 2021 demands. In contrast, this game was released in 2018.
EA requires you to have at least an Intel® Core™️ i5 6600K @3.50 GHz or an AMD® FX™️ 8350 @4.0 GHz paired with an NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 2 GB or a GTX 660 2GB or an AMD® Radeon™ RX 560 2 GB or an HD 7850 2GB to play the game at 1080p 30 fps using the lowest settings. However, it seems like EA is confused with these minimum requirements. The GTX 1050 is a much more capable card as compared to the GTX 660. Also, the RX 560 is a lot more capable as compared to the HD 7850. Therefore, it’s questionable why EA listed these cards together as minimum specifications.
According to EA, you need at least an Intel® Core™️ i7 4790 or an AMD® Ryzen™️ 3 1300X coupled with an NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 1060 6GB or an AMD® Radeon™ RX 580 8GB to run the game at 1080p 60fps using the highest settings. These are quite acceptable according to 2021 standards. However, for a 2018 title, these requirements are a bit on the higher end.
Battlefield V also comes with support for Nvidia’s DLSS technology. So, gamers with Nvidia RTX GPUs can boost frame rates, resolutions, or both, if they want to.
