Battlefield V DXR Update Performance – RTX Just Got Exciting

Test System


Test System

  • OCZ 512 GB SSD
  • Noctua NH-D15S CPU Cooler
  • Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 11 1000W PSU

Graphics Cards Used

  • Gigabyte RTX 2080 Ti
  • Aorus Xtreme RTX 2080
  • Aorus Xtreme RTX 2070

Drivers and Software

The latest drivers from Nvidia were used as of 16/11/2018. This includes all the most up to date drivers for Windows 10, and the most recent updates available to Battlefield V prior to its launch. Keep in mind that with this being launch week, performance will likely improve in the game with upcoming patches and fixes.

Graphics Settings

To keep things in a nice, easy to repeat and easy to set up format, we stuck with the games built-in high graphics profile. The only changes we made were to turn V-Sync off, set the frame limit to its maximum of 200, and we used three resolutions; 1080p, 1440p, 2160p. We ran several runs using the War Stories setup, both with RTX on and with RTX off to show us the average performance difference between each run. There’s also a final run with the games Ultra profile, where we only used 4K and Ultra Ray Tracing for a full stress test.

Multiplayer?

Since we ran the game pre-release, we avoided multiplayer testing as things are too quiet and too erratic pre-launch. Perhaps this is something we’ll dive into post-launch. However, we still expect GPU performance to be similar online, but online does tend to be more CPU intensive too.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
