In this article we'll examine Battlefield 1 in our usual manners. We'll test the game on the PC platform relative towards graphics card performance with the latest AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers. Multiple graphics cards are being tested and bench-marked with the latest cards such as the GeForce GTX 10 series included as well as Radeon RX series 400 cards. With the newest graphics cards and technologies we'll try and see how well this DirectX 12 title performs. Battlefield 1 is a title that many have been waiting for, and from the looks of it, the game will definitely deliver in a classy single player way, multi-player awesomeness and yes pretty nice graphics that will play many graphics cards. You are going to need a modern PC with at least a mainstream graphics card to run the game nicely. Battlefield while being a DX12 title, doesn't mean it will be a fully DX12 enabled game. Battlefield 1 (currently) does not support all DX12 APIs like Explicit Multi-GPU, for SLI and Crossfire, you will be better suited with DirectX 11 mode. We however will test in DX 12 mode. This shows with the recommended CPU requirement being a Core i7-4790 or AMD FX-8350. The system memory requirement for top level AAA game graphics is going to be at least 2GB paired with a graphics card in the order of a GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 480 with at least 4GB. Starting at that level you should be able to run the game at around 1080p with 40 FPS on high graphics setting. But we'll look at the best quality settings, of course as we are all PC gamers right ?

We test with the game based on the release from this week, all patched up combined with latest AMD Radeon Software Crimson drivers and for Nvidia drivers. This article will cover benchmarks in the sense of average framerates, we'll look at all popular resolutions scaling from Full HD (1920x1080/1200), WQHD (2560x1440) and of course that big-whopper of a resolution Ultra HD. UHDTV (2160p) is 3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels tall (8.29 megapixels), which is four times as many pixels as 1920x1080 (2.07 megapixels).

Did you know that Battlefield 1 is the fifteenth installment in the Battlefield franchise ? And yes, it is the first main entry in the series since Battlefield 4.
