One of the most anticipated new games releases from DICE, Battlefield V, is set to release to the non-paying public on November 20th. Outside of being another AAA title in the long-running Battlefield series, the game was to include ray tracing capabilities which the new NVIDIA RTX series of cards support with their ray tracing cores.
When the NVIDIA Geforce RTX cards released, we saw a lot of demos and the improvements were obvious and reflections are other ray traced surfaces looked beautiful. The question has always been the performance, but we can test that now. Though the game was supposed to include this anyway, early access through Origin’s Access program will allow us to see how these RTX series cards perform a few days before public release.
Below is a screenshot of Jaqub (DICE)‘s twitter account stating that it can now be enabled in-game.
Stay tuned for benchmarks to be added into this article as we get the game downloaded and find a nice place to benchmark. Finally, the RTX cards can flex their muscle – let’s see how it performs!

Take some time and read our review on the front page (RTX 2080/2080 Ti review). ;)
RT requires an architecture change in the silicon of the GPU... if you want RT, buy an RTX card.
This is so confusing this tracing!
Went to the 2080 and the game wont start now. The .exe kicks off, gathers around 216MB the origin window disappears then the bfv.exe quits and origin comes back up. Tried everything. Had MEH experience with EA chat (3x chats...and hour+) and my issue is escalated... it was a long frustrating day trying to get numbers for this article...
Still would be pretty neat to see just a demonstration how bad it would actually run on regular non rtx card. I was hoping to download a demo or something, fire it up and have it play like a picture frame on big screen driven by gtx460. New frame every 5 seconds would be perfect! That's the interval I find most pleasing when I have my photos cycle.
WHen using the 2070, I disabled an option named "GPU MEMORY RESTRICTION". This setting 'may use more PGU memory than what is available and could comprimmise the stability of the game'. When that option is disabled, I cannot swap cards out (tried 2080 Ti as well). If I disable that option, I can swap in whatever card I want.

That...That's an option? Why? Especially if it causes known stability issues.
Example:
Graphics settings Ultra @ RTX Low // vs // Graphics Low @ RTX low
If the processes are completely parallel then there may be almost no difference in performance, which would be interesting in-deed.
Next game release, RT will be in a loot box you can buy in game for a slight additional cost.... :rofl:
At 1080p?
