On Low settings, the game ran with a minimum of 163fps and an average of 180fps. And we are happy to report that performance is significantly improved when you start lowering these settings. Star Wars Battlefront 2 comes with four presets: Low, Medium, High and Ultra. On the other hand, our GTX690, RX580 and GTX980Ti had no trouble running the game at 1080p with all its bells and whistles enabled. Our GTX680 was unable to offer a 60fps experience, something that was almost possible in the first Battlefront game. Regarding its GPU requirements, Battlefront 2 is more demanding than its predecessor. Since Battlefront 2 is one of the few games that takes advantage of more than four CPU threads, we noticed a performance difference between our simulated quad-core and our six-core systems. With Hyper Threading enabled, our simulated dual-core system was able to run our tests with a minimum of 66fps and an average of 88fps at 720p on Ultra settings in DX11. As such, and if you are only interested in the SP mode, know that the game will run faster than the reported framerates. This is the most demanding scenario in Star Wars: Battlefront 2.

For our tests, we used the game’s Galactic Assault MP mode, featuring 40 players. In order to find out how the game performs on a variety of CPUs, we simulated a dual-core and a quad-core CPU. Moreover, and even though the game scales on more than four CPU threads, it appears that a modern dual-core CPU with Hyper Threading is able to offer a constant 60fps experience. Star Wars: Battlefront 2 uses the Frostbite 3 Engine and as we all know, this engine has incredible CPU multi-threading capabilities.

There are also sliders for Resolution Scale, Field of View and Motion Blur. Players can also enable/disable DX12, Filmic Effects, Film Grain and Lens Distortion. PC gamers can adjust the quality of Textures, Texture Filtering, Lighting, Shadows, Effects, Post-Process, Mesh, Terrain, Anti-Aliasing and Ambient Occlusion. Not only that, but SLI scaling is great with this official profile.ĭICE has added a respectable amount of graphics settings to tweak. As such, players will not have to mess around with third-party tools. Thankfully, NVIDIA has included an official SLI profile for it. EA has provided us with a review code, so it’s time now to benchmark this new title and see how it performs on the PC platform.įor this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i7 4930K (overclocked at 4.2Ghz) with 8GB RAM, AMD’s Radeon RX580, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti and GTX690, Windows 10 64-bit and the latest version of the GeForce and Catalyst drivers. And the good news is that Battlefront 2 is a really impressive tech showcase. As such, we were expecting great things from its final build. The game looked and performed incredibly well on the PC. Back in October, we were utterly impressed by the open beta build of Star Wars: Battlefront 2.
