AMD Radeon Shows Strong performance with Battlefield V Closed Alpha

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 07/05/2018 08:22 AM | source: | 75 comment(s)

From the looks of things AMD seems to be doing pretty well when looking at performance and the closed Alpha release for Battlefield V. In a quick test a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB was put up against a Radeon RX 580 8GB at both 1080p and 1440p, and the results are interesting.

Overall the Radeon RX 580 performed over 30% faster. Interesting. Then again, where the previous battlefield was an NVIDIA sponsored title, Battlefield V we're not sure of who has the partnership this round (though we're pretty confident it's NV though). In the end, I'd like to mention, this is an ALPHA release, drivers have not been optimized and likely nothing has been tuned. Hey, for all we know it's image quality related. Have a peek at the results that PCGamesN reported, incl DX11/DX12 measurements. Allow me to be realistic here though, with an Alpha release this early in the development stage, the numbers mean absolutely nothing.

It's nVidia partnership.

Test was done with Amd 2700x cpu.

Vega did not work :p

I wouldn't count on any performance numbers to stay the same once the final game's released.

So only those with Gsync are gonna enjoy this game before 2019 gpus. All the others stutterlike gaming.

... or 1080p screens. Or lowering details. Or Freesync

Like I said, don't count on those numbers fellow gurus. My performance with BF1 beta was also better than release day performance with gameready drivers with 980SLI.

I guess Nvidia will fix the performance for AMD once the final game is released with Gameworks.

It's probably due to the fact that the game is being built for the consoles first.

I would not say Strong. RX 580 is just enough for 1080p. GTX 1060 can go home as it is not ready for competing in that race.

Now, one could say there are no optimizations, yet. But it is freaking same engine, so they should have stuff tuned quite a bit.

Yeah, if it isn't Titan V, then it isn't strong nor worth mentioning even, lol.
And games built on the same engine perform the same across games, right, lol.

My thoughts too - it's Frostbite engine so it will perform better on AMD cards anyway but given NVidia is a partner this time around for BFV, it's only a matter of time for blackbox gameworks to be injected into the game...

I ran the Alpha with my specs (3570k@4.5/GTX 970@1455), I use old dell 1600x1200 display and the default graphic settings were set too high.
I was getting "around" low's of 60 to highs of 75 or so, avg about mid 60's. I changed that to a mix of mid-high, anyway it runs about 10% lower than BF1 and there is a lot of damage and destruction compared to BF1.
Who knows what the cause of the article, it could be something as simple as maybe a bug and both AMD and Nvidia are not rendering same images, but it's probably just lack of optimation as many things are not working right yet.

Could be. Besides, whoever expects this to be the real comparison when the game comes out, i have bad news. Radeon's performance will stay around the same, but GTX's will probably double, kinda, theirs.
Granted this is true and not some kind of fanboy bs.

Playing FPS games with 30fps is so 1995. Really enjoyable experience.

This will get patched by a new nvidia driver when the game is actually ready to release. Most likely the current nvidia drivers aren't properly optimized with the right compatibility bits set for this game. Not sure why you guys are surprised when this has happened with nearly half of all AAA releases over the last 10 years. Sometimes with nvidia, sometimes AMD, sometimes both.
