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.
