4GB VRAM is the minimum
Please clarify
As long the game wont have any frametime spikes and stutters like BF1 and BF5 im happy
Yeah same thoughts, also the DLSS which they released on BFV was horrible making spikes even worse
You can get rid of BF1 stutters with a standby memory cleaner but it won’t do anything in BFV, it’s a f*king mess and just runs bad.
The AMD and NVIDIA cards in the recommended specs have been mixed up.
Given my 3080ti stutters in BF5, their hardware listings above imply 720p24fps is their target.
One reason could be the DX version, another could be future frame rendering.
BFV stutters for everyone. It’s just a bad game that doesn’t run good.
Mmm denuvo
Runs fine on mine
Jumped from a GTX1060 recommended in BF V to a RTX2060 recommended in BF 2042.
I’m not seeing it.
Intel Core i7 4790 none k with 128 players on a map? LOL what?
You know the document was confidential, right? It was spelled out as well.
I know, we weren’t invited to the playtest. The PC specs were leaked though so we’ve decided to share them.
Figured as much. Leakers are retards sometimes.
Living up to your name.
Workin in the industry, playing Ender Lilies instead of this garbage.
Wait a sec…
A 6600k in minimum and a 4790 at recommended?
Apart the hyperthreading of the 4790 the 6600k should be faster
Naaah
Why are you calling this beta? The beta is in one month…
Devs really need to start differentiating between “60 FPS specs” and “144FPS specs”.
