Battlefield V Launches Early - Shows No GeForce RTX Support (yet)
Yesterday evening the Origin Access Premier Subscribers got a surprise, Battlefield V unlocked itself and is now playable. The new EA tactic is upsetting many Deluxe build pre-order buyers as for them, the game unlocks next week.
Origin Access Premier is a subscription model that will give you extra discounts and the ability to play older games as part of that 99 USD/year or 15 USD/month subscription model. To give it a boost EA added Battlefield V and thus unlocked it no less than 10 days prior to the official release. People that preordered the Digital Deluxe edition still have to wait till November 15th.
- As part of my curiosity, I decided to invoke the subscription plan and had a peek yesterday evening. A couple of notes, the game looks and feels good. The wording here is quality over quantity. This is going to be a really nice game.
- DX11 runs better than DX12, and considering RTX cards needs DX12 for DXR, that's not a good sign.
- GeForce RTX cards do not show Raytracing or DLSS options, and yes I used yesterdays released driver.
I would not be surprised to see a day-1 patch enabling the features, if not then NVIDIA will be in a crapstorm of critique as to date 0 games support it.
I will be working on a game performance article, however, the DRM protection is heftier each year, after changing four graphics cards I got kicked out of the game and will likely need to wait 24 hours. That means I'll be working on an in-progress performance article in which each day we'll add some more cards until we have a proper data-set.
