Electronic Arts and DICE have revealed the official PC requirements for Battlefield 5. According to the specs, PC gamers will at least need an AMD FX-8350 or an Intel Core i5 6600K with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or an AMD Radeon RX 560/HD 7850 graphics card.
DICE recommends an AMD Ryzen 3 1300X or an Intel Core i7 4790 with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or an AMD Radeon RX 580. The game will also require 50GB of free hard-disk space.
What’s really interesting here is that DICE has also revealed the requirements for running NVIDIA’s RTX, real-time ray tracing, tech. And according to the team, PC gamers will need an AMD Ryzen 7 2700 or an Intel Core i7 8700 with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070. Yeap, you read that right; there will be a CPU overhead for the real-time ray tracing effects, something that may displease a number of gamers who thought that the real-time ray tracing effects would only require an RTX GPU and nothing more.
Battlefield 5 releases on November 5th and below you can find its full PC requirements.
