Battlefield V isn’t the newest game out there and the debut of its successor is on the way but despite that, it’s still a decent game. The graphics quality is good features like ray-tracing are available as well. The title offers a single-player campaign but the main event here is multiplayer.

The Conquest mode is maybe the most interesting one because up to 64 players can battle each other on a single map (divided into two teams). As we said, the game still looks good and it’s not the heaviest title on the market but you know the drill – in multiplayer, a higher FPS is always helping. So, for this comparison, we have prepared two fast NVIDIA Ampere GPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) and RTX 3060 (130W).
