Battlefield V System Requirements Revealed

[Frick]

BF1 ran at 40fps on an A4-4000 (in DX12), why are CPU requirements so bonkers? A Celeron can play it.
Marketing?

My Pentium definitely didn't like BF1. Topped out at 25fps. we are past dual cores, thankfully.

PSA: The #Battlefield V minimum #PC system requirements have just been removed from the Origin Store as DICE is currently focusing on finalizing and polishing the game. The team can't nail down those specifics quite yet,

Did no one realize these are the exact same system requirements as Battlefield 1? This probably signifies that there are no major changes to the engine , BF1 ran fine on my overclcoekd 6300 at 60fps.

I expected this. To be honest. Not many games can meet the graphics & Physics BF1 has. And compared to COD, the game is much more demanding. So if they managed to optimize the engine a little bit, with some improved physics here and there, people won't mind that there was no big visual update. This makes sure that they have a chance for a big player base and it gives them time to work on a real engine upgrade.

If you look at the stats from Steam hardware survey. The most commen card was the GTX 970 back in june 2016.
Now, two years later, the most used card is the GTX 1060 wich is only 10-15% faster.
And the quadcore adaption rade is still only 60% these days. More then 30% are still gaming on a dualcore CPU. Keep in mind that the current engine is capable of using up to 12 threads.
So yeah, because Nvidia and Intel haven't done much but wait for AMD, people haven't upgraded much so it's hard to just increase the minimum requirements for a game.

Honestly, I can play BF1 on Ultra with 150% resolution scale. it would be awesome if I could do the same on BFV. For me, the graphics are more then good enough for another year or two.
