Battlefield V System Requirements Outed: Ryzen 7 2700 or i7 8700 as Recommended CPUs
The official system requirements for the upcoming Battlefield V game have been outed, and there are three categories of such requirements now: Minimum, Recommended, and DXR. The minimum requirements are pretty steep as they are: DICE say at least an AMD FX-8350 or an i5 6600K CPU are required, alongside 8 GB of system RAM (on the graphics front, a GTX 1050 / RX 560 are mentioned).
The recommended system requirements do bring some interesting tables to the mix, though, with AMD's Ryzen 3 1300X and Intel's i7 4790 being hailed as good CPUs for the configuration. This is in stark contrast with the minimum requirements, but here's the gist: it appears that Battlefield V will be a well-paralellized game, though it will also require strong per-core performance (hence why the FX-8350 doesn't make the cut, and why a previous-gen i7 is higher on the list than the 6000 series i5 from Intel). Minimum RAM for the Recommended spec stands at a whopping 12 GB, though - I believe this is the highest I've ever seen for a game release. An RX 580 or a GTX 1060 round out the specs.
Finally, we come to the DXR recommended specs, and this particular requirement will surprise about three people: the minimum required graphics card is NVIDIA's RTX 2070... That's right, the lowest-tier available RTX-enabled graphics card (remember that DICE said they'd be optimizing DXR effects for performance, though, so those promo images could not represent the final product). The rest of the specs see a system bump that brings the specs up to the standards of top gaming PCs in this day and age, though, with a Ryzen 7 2700 (no, a 1700 apparently won't do), an i7 8700 on the Intel camp, and a whopping 16 GB of system RAM. All tiers require at least 50 GB of available storage.

41 Comments on Battlefield V System Requirements Outed: Ryzen 7 2700 or i7 8700 as Recommended CPUs
I ran both alpha and beta BFV on 3570k w/o any issue, that is with full servers in MP.
Had no problems with 60fps, flatline. I do cap to like 65 as my display is 60hz.
I think a 9700 would be great for RTX and 9600 for nonRTX but we will see when reviews come out.
Had me going "holy shit wut !?" but after reading IMO recommended spec is thr Ryzen 3 1300X, Intel Core i7 4790 or equivalent.
And the 2700x, i7 8400 is for ultra spec.
How is 177 vs 167 or 162.5 FPS a 20% difference?
Also, you call AMD's CPUs junk, but hey, look how close they are to Intel's. So Intel must be junk too, I guess...
Anyone remember BFBC2? where the game has awesome graphics great gamepy and playable on most gpus!! screw you nvidia you destroyed one of my fav games
oh and at 4Ghz it is right in there with the rest of em ;)
Altho the dude is being disrespectful I know what he is refering to. Ryzen is only acceptable for high refresh rates when you pair it with 3466mhz CL 14 ram (good luck) plus a good 4,2ghz/4,3ghz (good luck) and only then it competes with an i5 8400 for high framerates.
Right now buying intel makes no sense tho due to the prices, but I said several times, when i5 8400 was 160€ and you could pair it with a 60€ B360 mobo and 70€ worth of 8gb 2666mhz, it was the best combo for gaming.
Those CPUs (8400) are pure gems. 6 cores, good clocks, low power usage, even stock cooler doesnt let it get past 70 degrees, and they are not that far behind from expensive i7s + cooler.
The problem is that suddenly everyone wants cores and cores and more threads. Most for nothing....
You just used a very silly source to prove your point, actually disproving it.
If you need some classes in trolling like a pro, send me a PM. I master the art.
Troll indeed.
The world would surely be a boring place if all we had we're 8700k's.
while yes, its techically correct, its the worst kind of correct, the click baity kind!
The irony of saying Ryzen is shit while you refer to a CPU that is far from top of the food chain... is strange to say the least. But we all knew that. If an i5 8400 and a cheap mobo was the best combo, so was Ryzen the best combo in terms of cost effectiveness. The 8400 is pretty much entirely on the same level as a second gen Ryzen, and it has no clockspeed advantage to feed off for single thread bound scenario's like the K-CPUs...but it does lack HT/SMT which Ryzen has going for it. Plus an upgrade path. There is literally no reason to get the 8400 if Ryzen 5 is available at similar price. Nor is there a reason to think its better for gaming in any use case.
So if an 8400 is a pure gem, so is every 6 core Ryzen, both first and second gen.
The only dominance for Intel remains in high refresh rate gaming, and then ONLY with overclockable CPUs. The rest has been eclipsed by superior core counts really. RAM doesn't even come into play.
But one thing i am curies about in the system spec needed. Nothing about DX12? only DX 11 and DX 11.1. So does that mean they have dropped DX12 support for BF V. In one way i can understand cause BF 1 really runs like shit in DX12 while in DX11 it runs great ad EA/DICE never fixed the DX12 lag. So maybe they have given up on DX12 for BF V.
Regarding the game, it surely supports DX12, since DXR (DirectX Raytracing) is only available on the latest version of that API.
