Battlefield V is almost upon us and finally the PC system requirements have been released. So let’s check out what hardware you need for you to play this game, properly. I’m personally very excited to check out and play this game. I’ve been playing Battlefield 1 from time to time so I’m quite interested to see how Battlefield V will be, especially with all the fuss about real-time ray tracing. Yes, that’s another reason why I am excited about BFV. I got several RTX graphics cards here and all we need are games that could harness their full potential. EA released not only the minimum and recommended system requirements of Battlefield V, but also the recommended requirements for DXR or real-time ray tracing. Also, a new trailer has been released showcasing the official multiplayer maps. The maps are huge, and I think will be challenging and fun. Probably more fun compared to the maps of Battlefield 1. Let’s go ahead and check them out below.

They didn’t mention if these system requirements is for 1080p gaming resolution; but I assume and is more or less positive that this is for 1080p resolution. That means, you’ll need to step up in the GPU department if you are gaming at 1440p and especially at 4K UHD.
Also, they mentioned that you need at least a GeForce RTX 2070 for the DXR; well the RTX 2070 is the “entry level” card for ray-tracing after all. There are only 3 graphics cards with DLSS and ray tracing capabilities; they are the RTX 2070, RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti. So it’s not a surprise that you’ll need at least an RTX 2070.
