Battlefield V is a first-person shooter video game developed by EA DICE and published by Electronic Arts. Battlefield V is the sixteenth instalment 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, DX12 API.

For our first game, we start with Battlefield V. At 1080p, there are some very interesting results – not least that the 5600 XT original BIOS came in just 4% behind the RTX 2060, and with the new BIOS the card is able to out-perform the 2060 by 5%. This means the new BIOS for the 5600 XT results in a 9% performance improvement.

At 1440p, things are pretty similar. The 5600 XT with updated BIOS is 5% faster than the RTX 2060, where the original BIOS was 5% slower. This means we see an 11% performance uplift comparing the new BIOS on the 5600 XT, to the old one.
