Earlier this year, the incorrect Battlefield V system requirements emerged online, but now developer DICE has shared the official system requirements for the WW2 FPS shooter. Posted on Reddit, the system requirements include Minimum and Recommended, as well as DirectX ray tracing (DXR), which requires extra RAM and RTX card.
Battlefield V Minimum System Requirements
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz or AMD FX-8350 4.0 GHz
- RAM: 8 GB System Memory
- GPU RAM: 2 GB Video Memory
- GPU: GeForce GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7850 2GB
- HDD: 50GB Available Hard Drive Space
- API: DirectX 11
Battlefield V Recommended System Requirements
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 3.6GHz or AMD Ryzen 3 1300X 3.5 GHz
- RAM: 12 GB System Memory
- GPU RAM: 6 GB Video Memory
- GPU: GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB or Radeon RX 580 8 GB
- HDD: 50GB Available Hard Drive Space
- API: DirectX 11.1
Battlefield V Ray-Tracing RTX System Requirements
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 3.2 GHz or AMD Ryzen 7 2700 3.2 GHz
- RAM: 16 GB System Memory
- GPU RAM: 8 GB Video Memory
- GPU: GeForce RTX 2070
- HDD: 50GB Available Hard Drive Space
- API: DirectX 12
The recommended RAM requirement for Battlefield V has reduced from 16GB to 12GB, while the recommended AMD GPU has increased from a 4GB RX 480 up to an 8GB RX 580. It seems Battlefield V is happy to eat up more than 4GB video memory.
Since the BFV PC beta, there are a few small modifications. Notably, a more sturdy AMD FX-8350 processor is now required to run Battlefield V, rather than an FX-6350. This brings the AMD specifications more in line with the minimum Intel CPU for Battlefield 5, the core i5-6600K. The 6600K is still better in terms of performance though, while the recommended Intel i7-4790 is far more capable than the recommend AMD Ryzen 3 1300X processor.
Finally, those fascinating system requirements for raytracing in Battlefield V. Raytracing, or DXR (DirectX Raytracing), is the main feature of Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 20 Series GPUs. Battlefield V is the first game to support RTX raytracing.
undoubtedly, we are going to need a damned fast PC to enable ray-tracing in Battlefield V. The minimum GPU you can use for raytracing is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070, which is worth around $600. Right now there is no AMD GPU that support raytracing technology.
That massive GPU will need to be matched with the high-end Intel Core i7-8700 hexa-core CPU or an AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Octa-core, as well as 16GB DDR4 RAM and a Windows 10 installation for DX12 effects.
