Battlefield 5 opens with a solemn prologue in which you play as a series of doomed soldiers dying in increasingly horrible ways. Its intent, I presume, is to evoke the futility and horror of war. But it feels out of place in a game where you can wear a Union Jack gas mask, jump out of a plane in mid-air, land on your feet, then whack a Nazi over the head with a cricket bat.

Developer DICE can’t seem to decide if war is hell, or just cool as hell, which creates some wild tonal dissonance. The notoriously chaotic Battlefield is by no means an accurate approximation of a real, gruelling war, which makes a soldier’s agonised screams of “I wanna go home!” as he bleeds out just seem a bit tasteless. The Swedish studio needs to own the fact that its game is really just a fun, silly, knockabout shooter, because that what it does best.

In the thick of a firefight, with planes screaming overhead, tanks trundling by, and sniper scopes glinting in the distance, Battlefield 5 can be exhilarating. And the dense, detailed maps only add to the turmoil, particularly the post-apocalyptic Devastation, which is set among the shattered ruins of a bombed-out Rotterdam. With 64 players fighting together, few multiplayer games are this frenzied. And a welcome return to World War II brings back fond memories of the first wave of Battlefield games.

This chaos also results in some exciting, emergent moments that could almost be scripted set pieces, such as the Spitfire I saw flying too low and buzzing a church’s bell tower, carving a hole in the side with its wing and leaving a trail of dust and rubble. But this can also work against it, and I’ve lost count of the visual bugs I’ve encountered: usually involving corpses getting stuck in scenery or flailing around like they’re being reanimated by a necromancer.

Ultimately, there are no bad maps in Battlefield 5: just a few mediocre ones

This is a series famous for its destruction, but now you can build things too. Whip out your hammer and on certain parts of the map—usually around control points—you’ll see the shimmering outline of sandbags, barbed wire, and other buildable fortifications. Any class can build them and you don’t have to harvest resources or anything like that, but the process is slow and leaves you open to attack while you wait for a meter to slowly tick up.

A good example of this is in the Aerodrome map, where the entrance to a large aircraft hangar can be plugged up with cover, Czech hedgehogs, and other obstacles to make the lives of the opposing team more difficult. Some maps even let you dig trenches for your fellow troops to move safely through. It never feels like the outcome of a battle hangs on the construction of these fortifications, but they can really change the flow of a map.

Speaking of maps, it’s a mixed bag, but some are among Battlefield’s best. Twisted Steel is the clear highlight: a vast, swampy map set in France and dominated by an enormous bridge, part of which has dramatically collapsed. Below the structure is a marshy forest for skirmishing in, but it’s on the bridge itself where the most exciting firefights inevitably take place around the two capture points placed strategically at either end of it.

Performance & settings

Graphics options Field of view, motion blur, chromatic aberration, film grain, HDR, future frame rendering, texture quality, texture filtering, lighting quality, anti-aliasing post-processing, effects quality, post-process quality

Performance Predictably, Battlefield 5 runs beautifully on a PC with an RTX 2080 Ti I tested it on. But on my GTX 1080 at home I had to knock the graphics preset down to high to keep a mostly stable 60fps at 1440p. I also experienced some judder, particularly on the Narvik map. DXR is another story, and you can check out our Battlefield 5 performance analysis for the details.

When the enemy team has control of the bridge, wrestling it back from them is a fun, satisfying challenge. Its elevated position gives snipers a great vantage point on the swamp and buildings below, but luckily the bridge is strewn with rubble and flaming wrecks, providing just enough cover for the opposing team to push through and claw back territory.

Arras is another great map: an expanse of French countryside covered in vivid yellow rapeseed fields. The open areas are perfect for vehicle skirmishes, while infantry can battle for control of the farmhouses and villages scattered around the area. Fjell 652, set in the mountains of Norway, is a lot of fun too, particularly the control point situated among a scattering of cabins. Its exposed mountainside location makes for some hectic firefights, with opportunities for distant snipers and aircraft to make your life hell.

Less successful is Devastation, the Rotterdam-based map I mentioned earlier. It’s visually impressive and incredibly atmospheric, but the cluttered geometry and lack of clear, identifiable paths to each control point make it feel messy and poorly paced. Hamada, a large desert map, is great for vehicle combat, but the distances between control points and the generally increased time-to-kill in Battlefield 5 mean you spend a lot of time running back to where you died and, if you’re unlucky, being sniped by someone on the way.

Narvik and Aerodrome sit somewhere in the middle. The former is based around a Norwegian harbour town, and except for a few memorably tense fights around an elevated train yard on the waterfront, nothing really sticks out about it. The latter is another big, open map ideally suited to vehicles and I only really found it interesting when both armies descended on the colossal hangar at the heart of the map. Ultimately, there are no bad maps in Battlefield 5: just a few mediocre ones. And for an online-focused FPS at launch, that’s pretty decent.

Squads are more important than ever in Battlefield 5. Not only can you spawn on an ally if they aren’t engaged in combat, but now non-medic characters can perform a ‘buddy revive’ on a fallen comrade. This is a lot slower than when a medic does it, but still fairly invaluable in the final stages of a match. It also encourages squads to stay close together, as tempting as it might be to run off and test out your new sniper rifle. You can still leave your assigned squad and play as a lone wolf, but the game actively discourages it.

Another benefit of working in a team is that, when enough points are accumulated, the leader can call in a so-called Squad Reinforcement. These range from a fire-spewing tank to, best of all, a devastating rocket that can absolutely flatten a control point, killing anyone in the blast radius. The sound of the aircraft that launches it buzzing overhead is always nerve-wracking—unless you’re the one firing it, of course. You can see the explosion from way across the map, and pushing in with your fellow soldiers to take a point after a rocket drops on it is always a thrilling moment.

Building on Battlefield 1’s Operations mode, Grand Operations are vast, themed battles that take place over three days, loosely connected with a story that changes depending on the performance of each team. While Battlefield is often a good game to dip in and out of, you’ll need to set a decent chunk of time aside—in some matches, as long as an hour—for these sprawling epics. Each day is heavily objective-based, with teams attacking or defending key structures including giant artillery guns that players can operate.

I’m not sure about Final Stand, though. This tie-breaker round is triggered if both teams are evenly matched and there’s no clear winner. Essentially playing out like the tense final minutes of a game of Fortnite or PUBG, respawns are disabled and surviving players are gradually pushed together by a shrinking play space. The last team standing wins the Grand Operation, which kinda negates your team’s performance in the previous rounds.

While Call of Duty has abandoned singleplayer, it’s good to see DICE still making the effort. War Stories is a series of solo missions with lavish production values and melodramatic cutscenes, set in lesser-known corners of World War II. The missions have an open structure, with multiple objectives that can be completed in any order, but there are still a lot of moments where it’s clear you’re playing something quite heavily scripted.

Nordlys, set during the German occupation of Norway, is the best, following a resistance fighter as she fights behind enemy lines. The environment design is stunning (that snow, so powdery) and skiing between locations is fun. Overall, War Stories is more interesting than CoD’s shallow, linear meat grinder campaigns and boasts some genuine spectacle, but it’s not worth buying the game for. Online is still the reason Battlefield exists, but these missions are well made and a worthwhile addition to the game.

While the flow of the action in BF5 is almost identical to the last few games, character movement has been altered to feel more physical—and I’m not a fan. This is most notable in the laboured, disorientating animations that play when entering/exiting vehicles. Previously you’d just appear in a vehicle, which was a little illusion-shattering, but basically fine. Now, though, you have to watch as your guy slowly, painfully climbs in or out, with the camera flipping all over the place. I get what they’re going for, trying to make you feel more connected to the world, but it just isn’t as fluid as it should be.

Here’s the thing, though: Battlefield 5 is gonna change, a lot. DICE is already addressing community complaints such as bombers being overpowered, as well as planning new modes including its inevitable take on the battle royale genre, Firestorm. There’s also a new tank-focused singleplayer mission, The Last Tiger, on the way in December. In a year this could be a much better, deeper, richer experience, but for now it’s just a very good Battlefield game with a few great maps and plenty of those moments of beautiful chaos that have come to define the series.

Battlefield 5

As chaotic and exhilarating as Battlefield has always been. Just don’t expect a dramatic reinvention of the series.

If it’s set in space, Andy will probably write about it. He loves sci-fi, adventure games, taking screenshots, Twin Peaks, weird sims, Alien: Isolation, and anything with a good story.

Verdict

Battlefield 5 is a good, not great, game that fails to fix ongoing flaws with the series gameplay.

Pros

• Fast paced multiplayer
• Solid progression system
• Interesting spotlight on lesser seen aspects of war

Cons

• Same old Battlefield
• Plays it too safe
• Very little content

Key Specifications

• Review Price: £49.99
• Release Date: November 15, 2018
• Genre: FPS
• Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC
• Developer: DICE

War, if numerous Fallout trailers have taught me correctly, never changes.

The Battlefield series has always exemplified this to a degree, with the addition of one caveat: in each Battlefield game, War slightly changes.

While each release in the series might feature EA jumping up onto a stage to talk about how the game will be changed forever, it’s often the same game with minor tweaks to the gadgets and weaponry to fit the setting. There are few changes, but this is understandable when you consider that the series’ first real attempt at a complete reinvention — the much maligned Battlefield Hardline — was a disaster for the company, and since then Battlefield has played it safe.

Battlefield 5, for all of its bluster,  is unfortunately, no exception. I’m enjoying it, and writing this review has been punctuated by long breaks as I dip into the multiplayer to check something and then get dragged into a pitched battle, reviving my fellow teammates as we push towards an objective. But tab away from the game for a second, and you’re reminded of the numerous small irritations, problems that have stalked the Battlefield games ever since it first set foot in World War 2 with Battlefield 1942.

Vehicles are plentiful in the online arena of Battlefield 5

The single-player section of the game, the returning War Stories, brings some interesting ideas to the game in a campaign that feels all too brief, and a little overly concerned with stealth at the expense of getting to rock ‘n roll with some of the game’s meatier weapons.

Each campaign tells a vignette from a side of the war that hasn’t often been covered before, putting you in the shoes of soldiers on the African front or a young member of the Norwegian resistance. The tone is fairly light, tales of derring-do and survival at all costs that feels a million miles from the heavy sentiment seen in Battlefield 1.

There’s nuance here, and the war, which claimed tens of millions of lives, is handled with respect. Characters are fleshed out when they could have been one dimensional.

Each chapter will drop you into an open world filled with vehicles, enemies, weapons and opportunities. Exploration and experimentation here can yield results, but most of the time the game pushes you towards a quiet approach, whether that’s using a melee weapon (boring) silenced rifle (rare, satisfying, bit samey) or even throwing knives (awkward to use, but very cool.)

In some parts it resembles the Far Cry series closely. Alert a group of enemies and one will charge of to a radio antenna to try and raise the alarm. You can stop the enemy raising the alarm by taking him out, taking the panel out on the antenna or if you’re smart from cutting the cables in the panel before you were even spotted — exactly the same mechanics as when you alert an outpost in Far Cry.

Unleash your inner Top Gun by taking to the skies

So you sneak and you skulk and you try not to think about the Luftwaffe planes parked on the runway that you could definitely nip into and take to the skies and have a cool dogfight, because the game does its level best to point you away from that.

Thing is, Battlefield is a shooting game and it handles being in a do or die gunfight fairly well. It’s less adept at handling crawling around on your belt-buckle, or  scuttling around behind a warehouse trying to find an entrance. The UI for detection is pretty basic, and the rewards offered for keeping quiet aren’t that enticing.

Sure, you can unlearn this behaviour, and play it like a run and gun shooter – but the truly great set pieces don’t seem to arrive as often as they did in Battlefield 1. The studio’s missed an open goal here, as Call of Duty has this year stepped away from a bombastic triple-A campaign, and shooter fans are clamouring for one. This isn’t it, no matter how much fun it is.

Things are significantly more action-packed in the multiplayer, where barely a second goes by without an explosion going off somewhere in the middle distance, and a steady flow of doomed soldiers with names like xXTheOtherHemsworthXx and DonkeyDoug sprint from spawn points towards constant smaller skirmishes. All the while you’ll be trying to pick where to apply a judicious amount of firepower next.

It keeps things familiar too. Players band together into four person squads to play one of four classes. These classes have sub-classes inside for specialisation, so a medic class can be a combat medic or someone that focuses just on healing. The modes are fairly simple, Battlefield 5’s best skill is its ability to make you constantly feel like you’re in the middle of a rolling battle, and that your part in it is absolutely essential ,whether that’s as a medic keeping people in the fight or a support unit putting down mines and building fortifications.

War Stories is a brave collection of solo stories that treat the conflict with respect

Fortifications are probably the tent-pole feature of the new Battlefield, letting you get out your toolbox and build fortifications in certain areas. These barricades are set, the same every time, all you have to do is get your toolbox out and build them. Because they were planned out in detail by DICE, everything you build has a value.

There’s no chance you can waste your time and come up with something that makes you less defended, and it also means your teammates are going to spend half of the round building a giant robot, too. It’s a thoughtful addition because this isn’t a game about building spiralling towers, and this lets you focus on combat.

The games also have a faster pace than Battlefield 1, which was much slower paced due to all of the WW1 era weaponry. Three of the four classes get access to powerful close range weapons, meaning close quarters combat is brutal and quick, staccato bursts of gunfire as two walls of flesh run into each other.

They’ll be some pretty diverse lumps of flesh, too. Characters can be customised in terms of the armour they’re wearing and the race, gender and look of the person wearing it. Most of the customisation options look decent, offering you a choice of greatcoats and webbing. It’s a little jarring to do battle in a gas mask painted with a union jack, but there’s nothing too gaudy, at least at this early stage.

There have been a few nudges and tweaks to make characters feel a little more vulnerable, too. Your starting ammo count is way down, and can be replenished from ammo dumps scattered around the map, support soldiers or scavenged from dead bodies. There’s no more regenerating health in the multiplayer, and players have to heal themselves with bandages, dished out from medical supply crates and medics.

Team up with friends and cause chaos. Face paint and all!

The end result is that death comes quickly, and that playing with your squad is the best bet to survive. One person just doesn’t have access to all of the different things they need to fight effectively.

However, the community don’t seem to have got the memo on this yet, and the multiplayer is swarming with players lying prone and taking potshots with sniper rifles, or just ignoring the objectives to run off and get kills. It seems that no matter what DICE try to do to bring the community together cohesively, the current meta in the game just isn’t rewarding the play. This is disappointing, and while it isn’t DICE’s fault and isn’t reflected in our score, it is annoying nonetheless.

One mode that used to make this happen a little better is Rush, adding in Battlefield Bad Company and, if we’re honest, one of the better modes in Battlefield in my opinion. By focusing everyone on a pair of points, people were funnelled together. You see this slightly in the game’s operations modes, several maps stitched together with bonuses offered for victory. It’s not Rush though. I’ll miss it.

Verdict

Battlefield 5 is a good game, but not a great one. The multiplayer can be great fun when you find the right server, and the single player shines a light on parts of World War 2 that aren’t in the public consciousness.

However, the stripped back multiplayer and several of the same old problems mean that I’m wishing that this particularly war had perhaps changed a little more.

Battlefield 5 PC requirements

Need a new rig to play EA’s new bombastic shooter Battlefield 5? We’ve noted down the recommended specs, and listed down all the best-value components that you’ll need.

Battlefield 5’s recommended specs are listed below:

OS: Windows 10 64-bit

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790 / AMD Ryzen 3 1300X or equivalent

RAM: 12GB

HDD: 50GB HD space

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB / AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB

But of course, if you settle for EA’s ‘recommended build’ you won’t be able to ogle Battlefield 5 is jaw-dropping 4K. And with Battlefield 5 officially supporting ray tracing, you’ll take the visuals up another level if you invest in one of Nvidia’s 20 Series GPUs – or any of the supported GPUs on this list.

But what is ray tracing? This is a new rendering technique that simulates more realistic lighting effects. Light will reflect off objects as they would in real life, creativing more convincing shadows and atmospheric environments. The ray-tracing update isn’t available yet, but it’s said  to be imminent, so it makes sense to future-proof your test rig with a RTX 2080 graphics card right now.

	Recommended HD build	Recommended 4K build
CPU	AMD Ryzen 3 2200G CPU (£90)	Intel Core i7-8700K (£242)
Motherboard	GIGABYTE B450M (£69)	MSI Z370 Gaming Pro (£173)
RAM	Corsair Vengeance lpx 16gb (£137)	Corsair Vengeance lpx 16gb (£137)
SSD	Kingston UV500 120GB (£35)	Samsung 970 Evo 500GB (£135)
HDD	NA	WD Blue 1TB HDD (£37)
GPU	Nvidia GTX 1060 (£200)	Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 (£740)
Power supply	Corsair TX650M 80 Plus Gold (£75)	Corsair TX650M 80 Plus Gold (£75)
Case	BitFenix Nova (£34)	NZXT S340 (£65)
Cooler	NA	Hydro Series h200i (£109)
Software	Windows 10 (£120)	Windows 10 (£120)
Total price:	£760	£1833

Of course, it’s possible to cut corners and save even more money. You don’t have to buy so much storage for example. And if you’re happy to sacrifice a few frame rates, you could buy Nvidia’s cheaper RTX 2070 GPU, which also has the capability of using ray tracing.

Alternatively, if you’re happy to spend even more money, then you could upgrade your graphics card to the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti and Intel Core 9th Gen i9 for an ever smoother 4K performance. Then you’ll have one of the most powerful gaming rigs around.

Starting a Battlefield V game in one of the multiplayer modes can be devastating for players who are used to battle royale games, especially skirmish shooters or similar games. It’s a completely different game when you enter the stage of a large-scale war, especially when you bring new mechanics to the game and have to worry not only about your own safety, but also about the safety of your team.

With multi-stage battles, multiple targets constantly challenged, lost and rebuilt, and a sea of ​​enemies bringing their own shooter lore, there’s plenty to keep you busy if you want to survive.

Battlefield V: Newbie Attention: Stay on target (seriously!)

This is common sense, but it’s worth repeating: stay on target. Battlefield V will certainly let you kill as many soldiers as you like, but it’s not deathmatch. There are currently no kill-only modes. So there is no reason to go out alone and shoot enemies whenever you want. You are not Rambo.

Eliminate the targets you want, but remember that the goal of the game is to complete the targets and earn points. Points lead to evolution. So keep that in mind when you feel like going for the kill and ignoring the objective of the game. Your squad will try to remind you of this when you yourself want Rambo.

Also be smart in reaching your goals. Don’t sit down in the middle of the field and wait for the goal to be reached. You can climb somewhere, hide behind platforms, look around corners or crouch. As long as you are close to him, you will still lock onto the target. Standing still or standing in plain sight where you can be clearly seen is certain death. Then you’re of no use to anyone.

Be flexible when it comes to activities

Battlefield V has four different multiplayer classes: Scout, Support, Assault and Medic, each with their own specialization and weapons. Progress with each class unlocks new combat roles and weapons. So it’s wise to practice with each class and try something new from time to time.

In addition to choosing another hero in Overwatch when your primary is already chosen, you may need to fill in a few places in the heat of combat that others may not be as adept at. If you spend most of your time in the Assault class skill tree, which uses assault rifles and physical agility, you will grow up a bit when you need to take on the role of a medic.

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t choose the one that suits most of your matches. Take the time to learn about the classes and which game is best for each before deciding which one will be your primary. If you don’t want to support your teammates, you should play Assault. The reverse is also true: if you’re more interested in shooting at targets from a distance, don’t choose the Assault class. This is the job of the scout player.

Fortifications are important

Fortifications are a new addition to the traditional Battlefield series. They bring you closer to what you see in games like Fortinite. They also allow you to change the map around you to prevent enemies from hitting you or your team. In addition, fortifications allow you to build useful stations with items that you and your fellow soldiers need.

You can install barbed wire to protect your bunker, close the windows, put sandbags to keep the walls upright, and more to keep you safe. This includes creating trenches where there were none before. This is an ingenious way to protect yourself. Due to the destructible nature of the game, you will constantly be dealing with enemies trying to drive you out of your safe havens. This is one of the few ways to continue building them.

Make sure your BuildTool is easy to equip and don’t be afraid to use it often enough. You may see gray outlines when viewing the map and minimap. They indicate where you can build Fortifications. If you’re unable to create something immediately useful in terms of deterring others, focus on helping your team stay alive.

Build gas stations and medical stations where teammates can stock up on medical supplies and ammo. Then restore them when they are destroyed. Build stations near the strongest part of your base, or you’ll have to build new ones all the time when the enemies knock them down.

Don’t waste ammo and medical points

Each map is filled with different special stations located in different locations. You can reload medical supplies and ammo here to be at your best when fighting enemies. You never know when you’ll find yourself in a situation where there’s no Doctor or anyone to potentially protect you, so get through these situations by replenishing your own supplies and stocking up whenever possible.

Even if you’ve only run out of a few ammo, go ahead and grab more to take advantage of the next opportunity. Heal yourself accordingly, because there’s no way to know when the next bullet will be stuck in your skull — and you want to have time to replenish your health instead of watching a match waiting for your respawn. As mentioned earlier, you can also build your own stations. This should give you a useful strategic advantage if you need help urgently.

Work Together to Destroy Tanks Quickly

Tanks may look invincible, but they’re relatively easy to destroy if your squad works together. And if you don’t nip them in the bud, cars will cause catastrophic damage.

You can do this by collecting anti-tank weapons such as the Panzerfaust 100 (or dynamite, in the blink of an eye) and bypassing the tank from a decent distance. Don’t worry about shooting forward. Aim to the sides and back to get the maximum damage from each missile launched. If you can’t disable the tank completely, you can disable it just enough so that the people in it can take cover elsewhere. Make sure you get them too. They probably won’t be too happy that you destroyed their mobile war machine.

Complete Special Quests and Daily Quests

If you want to progress through the game at a decent pace, you need to do a lot more than just play normal, even if you play for hours on end. Pay attention to daily orders. They rotate every day (as the name suggests) and are small tasks that should be easy to complete. Special Assignments are more of a set of tasks that you complete over a long period of time.

Both challenges reward you with Company Coin, Battlefield V’s in-game currency. It unlocks additional weapon and vehicle upgrades, as well as weapon skins, cosmetics, and other small items to help decorate your soldier. Orders and quests are also great for keeping things up to date after the 20th Achievement game you play in a week.

don’t forget to level up

Also, you can earn company coins just by leveling up. Like this! All you need to do is play as usual, without any special goals. Earn XP by killing, reviving teammates, completing objectives, offering assistance, and more that you would do in a Battlefield V round. Just level up and watch the money roll in. Every time you move up, you can earn 500 company coins, which is not bad.

Battlefield V (BF 5) Gaming Computer — System Requirements and Description

Category: Gaming computers

Graphics

In Battlefield 5, the beauty and realism of the picture at the highest level. The developers have worked not only on the graphics — the physics of destruction, explosions is beyond praise. Everything on the map can be destroyed; no scripts and pre-made animations — everything collapses depending on the point of impact of the projectile and beautifully falls apart. The same goes for the ground under your feet. A hit by an aerial bomb or a large-caliber projectile will create a very tangible funnel in which you can hide.

The game is designed to be like a good movie. Playing it on low graphics settings is a crime. In an ideal world, every player would have a 2K resolution monitor and 120 FPS at «ultra» settings, only in this mode the game is revealed to the fullest.

How to choose a graphics card

As we said, ray tracing is now a reality on DTX 10xx series graphics cards. But let’s look at the real numbers.

These are FPS measurements on a top-end iron test bench. The GTX 1080 Ti gets a little over 40 fps at 2K at ultra settings with DXR enabled. So you can’t count on a good picture with such a card. This is rather a nice bonus for the owners of the top-end hardware of the GTX series, so that they can see with their own eyes the quality of lighting development using this technology at compromise settings.

Low performance is due to the fact that cards of this architecture do not have additional processing cores for ray tracing. The calculation of the fall of light and shadows falls on the shoulders of shader processors.

It’s worth noting that Battlefield 5 is currently the best optimized for DXR on GTX series cards. The picture shows that the power gain on the RTX card is only 1.6. In Shadow of the Tomb Rider and Metro Exodus GeForce GTX cards perform 2 and 3 times worse, respectively. Actually, that’s why the technology was not included in the advertising campaign of these games, the performance of the GTX series is too low.

Below are tables with video cards and approximate FPS.

FPS	1920×1080 (FullHD)	2560X1440 (QuadHD)	3840X2160 (UltraHD)
RTX 2080 Ti	159	129	73
RTX 2080	135	105	61
RTX 2070	106	83	48
GTX 1080 Ti	130	96	56
GTX 1080	100	74	43
GTX 1070 Ti	94	70	40
GTX 1070	82	61	35
GTX 1060	60	44	26

The table below shows how many frames per second can be obtained on different RTX series cards with ray tracing enabled. There are no GTX series cards here, as the only graphics card that will run this game with DXR enabled is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. In 2K resolution, it gives out 44 FPS on average, on FullHD you can get an acceptable result, but such cards are usually bought not for FullHD, so the performance is too low.

FPS	1920×1080 (FullHD)	2560X1440 (QuadHD)	3840X2160 (UltraHD)
RTX 2080 Ti	86	68	42
RTX 2080	66	48	29
RTX 2070	52	38	23

The game is designed for high resolution screens. DLSS technology provides a high level of image clarity. Even if you are not interested in ray tracing, this technology will make the picture much nicer. It can only work with RTX series cards.

Do I need an SSD?
