Can my PC run Battlefield V?

Set to release on November 20, 2018, hype for Battlefield V is quickly building around the PC gaming market. A lot of the hype this time around can be attributed to EA’s inclusion of the battle royale genre that was made popular by games like PUBG and Fortnite. Dating back to the very first entry in the iconic series, Battlefield 1942, the Battlefield franchise has always done it bigger than its competitors, and Battlefield V isn’t about to break up that trend. The last Battlefield game covered events from World War I, and this time around, players will be transported back to World War II. Prepare for several other new game modes, including Tides of War and Grand Operations. A core aspect of all multiplayer modes will focus on teamplay that rewards people for staying with their party, so it’s time to check the system requirements and grab your squad to prepare for the release of Battlefield V.

Being built on the same engine as Star Wars: Battlefront II and Battlefield 1, the newest Battlefield has the same minimum system requirements. If you just want to get in to the game with the bare minimum of hardware, your computer will need at least a GeForce GTX 660 or its AMD equivalent, the Radeon HD 7850. Both of these video cards hit the market in 2012 and have continued to be popular choices for PC gamers. If you had one of these six year-old cards in your rig, you would still be above the minimum requirements for almost 90% of all PC games! The CPU requirements have also remained unchanged from game to game this time around. Intel’s Core i5-6600K and AMD’s FX-6350 are the minimum CPUs that will enable you to play Battlefield 5 on at least Low Settings with at least 30 FPS. In contrast to its biggest competitor, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 which has a 53% pass rate, BFV only has a 34% pass rate.

Even though Battlefield 5 is set during World War II, you’re going to need a much more modern computer to play it on Ultra High settings. The recommended requirements are much more intense than the minimum specs. You will need at least a Radeon Rx 480 or GeForce GTX 1060 to get above the GPU requirement. While the GeForce GTX 1060 is the third most popular Nvidia GPU in our community, there are only a handful of models that are stronger and even fewer in actual circulation. When you look at the recommended CPUs that are required, things get even more out of hand. Setting the requirement at the Core i7-4790 and the Ryzen 3 1300 suggests that some intense calculations are occurring under the hood to keep up with environment destruction and player movements/actions.

Battlefield V was supposed to release in October, but EA decided to push that release date back to November. Will the extra month of development help them take out a larger share of the triple A FPS market? Only time will tell, but many signs point towards an uphill battle for Battlefield V and the high system requirements aren’t doing it any favors.
