We were able to get playable framerates out of both the GTX 1050 and RX 550 graphics cards after tuning the settings a bit. They’re not as big and powerful as their higher-end siblings, but they offer decent performance in the mid-range of graphics settings in most games. It runs well on each of these graphics cards if you stick to 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, aka 1080p.Īt the lower end of the price and performance spectrum you have the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 and AMD Radeon RX 550. First, a big surprise - expensive cards are quicker than less expensive cards! More importantly, it’s clear that Battlefront II is a very well optimized game. Starting at 1080p, a couple trends emerge that we’re going to see throughout the guide. For each of these brackets we ran through our benchmarks on each graphics settings preset - Low, Medium, High, and Ultra - at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions. Over on the red team, AMD, we tested the RX Vega 64, the RX 580, the RX 570, and the RX 550.įor anyone unfamiliar each of these cards, we’ve broken down our results into a couple different brackets, pitting similarly priced cards against each other. On the Nvidia side of things, we tested using a GTX 1080 Ti, a GTX 1070 Ti, a GTX 1060, and a GTX 1050.

We ran through our benchmark using four Nvidia graphics cards, and four AMD Radeon graphics cards. With that in mind, we set up our baseline testing PC with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X 12-core processor, 32GB of RAM, and a lightning-quick SSD. Your processor and RAM play a role, but your GPU is going to be the factor that really determines your framerate from moment-to-moment. To get an idea of how different PCs would perform running Battlefront II we wanted to make sure we removed any speedbumps that might slow things down - what we’re really testing here is GPU performance, since that’s the most important part of any gaming PC. It offered a decent cross section of the elements that push your PC to its limit. The bulk of our benchmarking took place during a firefight on the forest moon of Endor, with dozens of rebels firing at us, an AT-ST scout walker chasing us around the map, and groundcover as far as the eye could see. Our Battlefront II performance guide will help you maximize your PC’s performance. Those visuals can tax even a fully armed and operational gaming rig, however. Environments are lavishly detailed, characters are rendered with photorealistic accuracy, and everything looks like it just stepped off a Star Wars backlot. Right now, we’re going to talk about one thing everyone can agree is great – the visuals.īattlefront II is truly spectacle to behold. You can follow the discussion here and here. Facing severe backlash from the community, publisher EA has backpedaled on its egregious microtransaction pricing, but it’s still a sore spot for many players. Star Wars Battlefront II isn’t without its issues. Besides Star Wars Battlefront 2, she also starred in Far Cry 4 as Amita and Horizon Zero Dawn as Tatai and will lend her voice to Tanta Sila in Forspoken. It’s an honor to be able to tell an original story with all the humanity, complexity, and humor that makes Marvel characters so enduring and to enable our players to embody these heroes that they love.”Īs for Gavanker, she has yet to reveal any details of the role she will be playing, but she is no stranger to the video game world.

“The Marvel Universe epitomizes all the action, mystery and thrills of the pulp adventure genre that I adore and lends itself perfectly to an interactive experience. “I can’t imagine a better partner than Marvel for our first game,” said Hennig. While not much is known as to which characters it will focus on, we do know that it is being marketed as a "narrative-driven, blockbuster action-adventure game" and will feature a "completely original story and take on the Marvel Universe." This AAA, story-driven project that Skydance Media and Amy Hennig revealed in 2019 was confirmed to be a Marvel game just last week.
