Ahead of the impending launch of Battlefield 5 later this month, EA and DICE have now officially revealed the specs that will be needed for those looking to play on PC.
As is normal with these PC requirements, DICE has listed both the ones that will be needed to simply play Battlefield 5 at its most base setting, in addition to listing those that they recommend you should have. Both those minimum specs and the recommended ones are as follows:
Battlefield 5 Minimum Requirements

- Processor (AMD): AMD FX-8350
- Processor (Intel): Core i5 6600K

Battlefield 5 Recommended Requirements

Additionally this time around, DICE has also listed the requirements that will be needed for those looking to utilize ray tracing. For those who don’t remember, ray tracing is a new feature that can be used in some of Nvidia’s latest graphics cards and Battlefield 5 is one of the first games on the market to implement the feature. While this setup is far more costly compared to the ones above, it’ll give you the best experience for Battlefield 5 for sure. Here’s what you’ll need to make use of DXR:
Recommended Requirements for DXR
- OS: 64-bit Windows 10 October 2018 Update (1809)
- Processor (AMD): AMD Ryzen 7 2700
- Processor (Intel): Intel Core i7 8700
- Memory: 16GB RAM
- Graphics card (NVIDIA): NVIDIA GeForce® RTX 2070
- DirectX: DirectX Raytracing Compatible video card
- Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection
- Available Disk Space: 50GB
Hopefully, your current PC setup is enough to allow you to at least run Battlefield 5 at its base settings. If not, you still have a few more days to beef up your own rig before the game launches.
Battlefield 5 is set to release on November 20 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. You can currently pre-order the game over on Amazon if you so please.
