AMD Is Stronger Than NVidia At Battlefield V PC Benchmarks
The Battlefield V Closed Alpha on PC has been succesfully completed on PC a few days ago, leaving fans with a sweet taste of what’s to come. An interesting outcome of what was tested through the alpha is the fact that AMD was more powerful against NVidia graphics cards in-game in both 1080p and 1440p.
The benchmark results come from PCGamesN, where the team tested the power of both GPU manufacturers using two of their flagship graphics cards. The tests put the RX 580 and GTX 1060 against each other and while the GPUs are close to one another regarding their performance, the RX 580 showed better resurts in oppose to its competitor.
Battlefield V has already undergone optimisation on PC with the help of Nvidia, in order to add the game to the GeForce games. While the optimisation work is apparent even in its closed alpha state, AMD still managed to run 33% faster in their tests. As they report, that’s not the only issue Nvidia has regarding Battlefield V since “the DirectX 12 implementation in the game does its GPUs no favours either”.
Battlefield 1 was originally a Radeon title, making the optimizations made on that title work for its predecessor too. On 1080p, the GTX 1060 6GB managed to have an average of 45FPS on ultra settings while the competitor AMD RX 580 8GB topped an average of 68 FPS. The results on 1440p favor AMD once more with 47 average FPS as opposed to the 34 FPS of the GTX 1060.
What’s interesting is that Nvidia “suffers” under the DX 12, since its performance with the company’s tested GPU is down 9% compared to the DX 11 API. This is something that Nvidia has to work on since the resulted will be tested once more when the Battlefield V Beta has commenced later this summer.
Battlefield V has still a long way to go before release, giving Nvidia that chance to redeem itself and come up with stronger optimisation, making it a strong GeForce game. AMD can rest for now, being the winner of benchmarks for the Battlefield V benchmarks on PC.
