Battlefield 2042 beta recommended requirements:
The minimum system requirements are pretty reasonable for most PC gamers, since theNVIDIAGTX 1050 Ti andAMDRX 560 are considered older budget GPUs for those not looking to maximize graphics and FPS. TheInteli5-6600K and AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPUs are solid baselines but aren’t anything particularly taxing, and 8GB RAM is below standard for most gaming PCs.
Its the recommended system requirements that are a bit more demanding, however, as theNVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060and AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT are meant to maximize 1080p performance and offer solid ray tracing performance. Both the Intel i7-4790 and AMD Ryzen 7 2700X are currently two of the best mainstream CPUs on the market. At least 16GB of RAM is considered a gaming standard, making it a decent hurdle to clear.
Battlefield 2042 pre-orders are currently live if the beta interests you enough to take the leap. Just have a serious gaming rig ready given the specs news today.
