Battlefield V 1080p Ultra Custom PC Build Review

Our objective here is to enable us to explore what PC we could buy that can play Battlefield V, where we carefully find the right hardware components that can run Battlefield V and meet its gaming needs while also heavily factoring in today’s best hardware component prices. We are going to choose these parts with the aim of keeping a high FPS rate on the best graphics possible, pushing out visuals on 1080p screen size. The hardware selection should give us all a good jumping off point when considering what might prove a good build and price for a PC to run Battlefield V. We will update prices here as they change and switch out components as new, better hardware is released.

We will be looking across a range of things to help evaluate this best gamer build. We will be looking across the range of best value for money components based on today’s prices. Something that can influence our peripheral selection is that the game is found in the , Shooter, Action, 1st Person genres, and this can sometimes sway some of the requirements of hardware we choose. Something else to consider is that Battlefield V would have been built on PC hardware from 2018 and shortly before this period. Something else to factor in is that this game was built on the Frostbite. All interesting points for sure, but what we are really after is that we want to select components that best fit this game type but will also be today’s best value for money hardware of good enough quality to meet the game’s needs.

The motherboard we are going for is the GIGABYTE GA-A320M mATX AM4. Its the best priced Socket AM4 socket type motherboard on the market today and will give us the spot to choose a great pairing CPU for the Radeon RX 5700 Sapphire 8GB.

PC Performance Review at 1080p Ultra Settings on Battlefield V

Now on to the frame rates for our Battlefield V running on Radeon RX 5700 Sapphire 8GB at 1080p. We should see an average of 110 FPS on High settings or you could push up the quality to Ultra, which would get us 88 FPS.

At some point you might want to increase your screen size from 1080p to 1440p. Battlefield V running with this hardware on the larger screen resolution would return 67 FPS at Ultra graphics setting or possibly up to an average of 84 FPS on High settings.

How this build performs for other popular games

To buy this Battlefield V PC we will still want it to do ok when running other popular games. So to give us an idea about our builds performance lets see how it deals these 3 popular games at 1080p. Grand Theft Auto VI will be expecting a Ultra FPS of 88 and a High setting FPS of 110 frames. Star Citizen expects Ultra FPS around 88 which will improve to 110 FPS for High settings. Back 4 Blood is expected to be around 88 FPS for Ultra settings and improves to a 110 FPS on High settings.

Selecting A High Performance Mouse For Battlefield V

We opted for this higher quality gaming mouse, Cooler Master MM710, because it would cater to the , Shooter, Action, 1st Person genre type that Battlefield V sits in. This is still the best priced mouse we had in our lists today, just a better quality peripheral than we might normally consider.

Battlefield V Benefits From a High Quality Audio Headset

Battlefield V falls within the following game genre grouping, , Shooter, Action, 1st Person, and as such places additional demands on the audio output you should be considering to enjoy this game. So the headset selection we have gone for is looking at a selection of better quality headsets. We are still choosing the best value headset available, it will not be the absolute cheapest you can find, because we have selected it from a better quality grouping, to help deliver the ideal build for this game. We have gone for the Logitech G635 7.1 for our initial build, which provides some great sounds at a reasonable price. You will see a button next to the headset name in the PC build list above, where you can see a few other headsets we have picked out, that are good value today.

An Alternative Battlefield V Graphics Card Option for 1080p

Why not switch out the graphics card in this build and replace it with a similarly powerful card from Nvidia. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Gigabyte Windforce OC 6GB graphics card has a 5% worse performance variation compared to the currently chosen video card. As the best price point for an alternative manufacturer in this range it currently costs $299.99.
