In our testing the RX 580 massively outperforms the supposedly equivalent GTX 1060, despite BF5 now being a bought and paid for GeForce game.
The Battlefield 5 closed-alpha has just closed this very afternoon and we’ve spent a good while playing, killing, capturing, and testing graphics cards. It’s a tough life. The most interesting thing to come out of our closed alpha playtime, however, is just how differently the two mainstream GPUs from Nvidia and AMD perform.
If you want to know what the around is, you know where to come.
In general graphics testing the GTX 1060 and RX 580 regularly trade benchmark wins, but normally only by the slightest of margins. With the Battlefield 5 closed alpha, however, there is a sizeable disparity in performance, with the RX 580 some 33% faster in our tests. That’s not the only bad news for Nvidia either, as the DirectX 12 implementation in the game does its GPUs no favours either. Battlefield 5 AMD and Nvidia performance
It does really look like all the efforts that AMD put into making sure its GPU architecture was catered for, with Battlefield 1 being a flagship Radeon Gaming title, are still paying off with Battlefield 5.]]> Battlefield Wed, 4 Jul 2018 02:46:31 +0000 http://gamewizzard.com/news/106/14481/Battlefield-5-may-be-an-Nvidia-GeForce-game-now-but-AMD-ruled-the-closed-alpha.html 'Battlefield 1' Review (Xbox One): History Repeated http://gamewizzard.com/news/133/10348/Battlefield-1-Review-Xbox-One-History-Repeated.html Battlefield Wed, 4 Jul 2018 02:40:44 +0000 http://gamewizzard.com/news/133/10348/Battlefield-1-Review-Xbox-One-History-Repeated.html Battlefield V closed alpha hands-on preview – war never changes? http://gamewizzard.com/news/17/4934/Battlefield-V-closed-alpha-handson-preview-–-war-never-changes.html Battlefield Wed, 4 Jul 2018 00:00:58 +0000 http://gamewizzard.com/news/17/4934/Battlefield-V-closed-alpha-handson-preview-–-war-never-changes.html Battlefield V reveals release window for open beta http://gamewizzard.com/news/134/9202/Battlefield-V-reveals-release-window-for-open-beta.html Battlefield Tue, 3 Jul 2018 20:30:19 +0000 http://gamewizzard.com/news/134/9202/Battlefield-V-reveals-release-window-for-open-beta.html Battlefield 5: how the small things matter in this massive-scale shooter - EuroGamer http://gamewizzard.com/news/11/59963/Battlefield-5-how-the-small-things-matter-in-this-massivescale-shooter--EuroGamer.html Battlefield Tue, 3 Jul 2018 16:39:01 +0000 http://gamewizzard.com/news/11/59963/Battlefield-5-how-the-small-things-matter-in-this-massivescale-shooter--EuroGamer.html Battlefield 5 PC First Look: Frostbite Evolved? http://gamewizzard.com/news/11/59951/Battlefield-5-PC-First-Look-Frostbite-Evolved.html Battlefield Tue, 3 Jul 2018 13:37:25 +0000 http://gamewizzard.com/news/11/59951/Battlefield-5-PC-First-Look-Frostbite-Evolved.html Hands-on with Battlefield 5: how the small things matter in this massive-scale shooter http://gamewizzard.com/news/35/8796/Handson-with-Battlefield-5-how-the-small-things-matter-in-this-massivescale-shooter.html
Players of the recent Battlefield 5 alpha have been witness to quite a treat. Building on DICE's excellent work in BF1 and Battlefront 2, we're looking at an exceptionally handsome game that, small bugs aside, almost feels like the finished article. It's visually outstanding in fact, the only disappointment - if you can call it that - being that the signs are pointing towards an evolution of the Battlefield formula and its Frostbite engine, as opposed to a full-on next-gen revolution.
Some might say that expectations of a wide-ranging revamp of the tech might seem somewhat optimistic, but there is a strong precedent. In 2011 - a full two years before the arrival of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One - DICE unleashed Battlefield 3, the game that laid the foundation for the series entries to follow, certainly from a technological perspective. Based on 64-bit processor support along with a requirement for DirectX 11 class graphics hardware, this was a developer essentially laying the foundation work for the console generation to come, with a cutting-edge PC version taking point.
At the same point in the current console generation, Battlefield 5's closed alpha - released only on PC - shows key embellishments, along with some crowd-pleasing enhancements to the destruction model. However, the overall aesthetic and some of its most impressive tricks will be familiar to those who've played Battlefield 1. The alpha reminds us of how good Frostbite is in dealing with massive, open levels. Select your capture point, click, and the overview of the map swoops down seamlessly into the in-game view - a cool trick from BF1 that still impresses in its successor.

One of the most exciting features on the way in the release of Destiny 2: Forsaken is a new weapon archetype. The bow changes up the battlefield in some important ways, not least because it’s a distance weapon that isn’t actually a gun.
I had the good fortune to get some extensive early hands-on time with the bow, and rapidly found the potential for fun. The pace of shooting is different from what we’ve come to expect with the guns of Destiny 2, and the change is refreshing. “There’s a pace and rhythm to it that is totally different from our other weapons – adding more anticipation to your shots sort of puts you in a zen-like trance,” says designer Greg Peng. “Draw, Aim, Fire, Nock, Draw, Aim, Fire, Nock, Draw, Aim Fire.” Until you shoot it for yourself, it’s hard to grasp the natural feel of the shooting. It delivers as a high-risk, high reward weapon. You invest a significant micro-chunk of time to draw the bow back and get to full power, so nailing the precision hit is essential. But when it connects (often killing PvE enemies in one shot) it’s immensely satisfying.

This weekend past DICE held a closed alpha test for Battlefield V on PC for select press and Battlefield community members. And luckily, we managed to secure me last minute access to the alpha so that I could tell you whether this is the revolutionary experience it potentially promised to be.
