Battlefield 1 DX12 Benchmarks – Three Resolutions Tested on Dozen Video Cards

Test System

All testing was done using a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Anniversary Edition and benchmarks were completed on the desktop with no other software programs running. There has been some concern of people testing a cold card versus a hot card, but we’ve always done out testing ‘hot’ since the site started back more than a decade ago. We used the latest public release version of Battlefield 1 including the patch that came out on October 24th, 2016.

Video Card Drivers used for testing:

• AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.10.2 Beta
• NVIDIA GeForce 375.63

Intel X79/LGA2011 Platform

The Intel X79 platform that we used to test the all of the video cards was running the ASUS P9X79-E WS motherboard with BIOS 1704 that came out on 05/08/2015. We went with the Intel Core i7-4960X Ivy Bridge-E processor to power this platform as it is PCIe 3.0 certified, so all graphics cards are tested with PCI Express Gen 3 enabled. The Kingston HyperX 10th Anniversary 16GB 2400MHz quad channel memory kit was set to XMP Profile #2. This profile defaults to 2133MHz with 1.65v and 11-13-13-30 2T memory timings. The OCZ Vertex 460 240GB SSD was run with latest firmware available. A Corsair AX860i digital power supply provides clean power to the system and is also silent as the fan hardly ever spins up.

Here are the exact hardware components that we are using on our test system:
