Battlefield V is a first-person shooter video game developed by EA DICE and published by Electronic Arts. Battlefield V is the sixteenth installment in the Battlefield series. It was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 20, 2018. (Wikipedia).

We test using the Ultra preset with the DX12 API. Battlefield V is the first game released with Nvidia RTX ray tracing features (called DXR in game) and we present average and minimum frame rates for the game with DXR Off, and then again with DXR set to Ultra.

 

Now we come to Battlefield V and ray tracing. Despite this ASUS model outperforming the Founders card across every test here, I would still suggest 1080p is the limit for the RTX 2060 with ray tracing enabled.

At that resolution, the Strix was able to run at 75FPS on average with DXR Ultra – just over 3FPS faster than the Founders 2060. When the resolution is increased to 1440p, even though the Strix maintained higher minimum frame rates than what we saw from the FE 2060, I still found frame rate drops to be just a bit too noticeable for a satisfying gaming experience.
