Ray tracing refines graphics, creating more realistic scenes that help immerse you in the action. In Battlefield 2042, EA and DICE are introducing Ray-Traced Ambient Occlusion, which accurately adds shadows where game elements occlude light. Be that between a soldier and a wall, a tank and the tarmac, or foliage and the ground.

Ray-Traced Ambient Occlusion (RTAO), requires a Microsoft DirectX Raytracing (DXR) capable graphics card or laptop GPU, and runs best on GeForce RTX thanks to our dedicated RT Cores that accelerate ray tracing workloads.

To enjoy Battlefield 2042 with the increased image quality that RTAO offers, raise your setup’s level with a GeForce RTX graphics card, desktop, or laptop.

NVIDIA DLSS delivers significantly faster performance in over 120 games and apps. It’s powered by our groundbreaking AI rendering technology and the dedicated Tensor Core AI processors found exclusively on GeForce RTX GPUs.

In Battlefield 2042, you can use NVIDIA DLSS from day one to get the definitive experience, with maxed out graphics, high frame rates, and uncompromised image quality. Check back soon for performance charts and more.

Game controls feel good when they’re responsive; you press the button, the action occurs immediately. When they’re unresponsive, gameplay feels laggy, aiming is harder, and you’re more likely to lose battles. With NVIDIA Reflex, we can greatly reduce system latency, one of the main culprits behind unresponsive gameplay.

In two dozen games Reflex reduces system latency, and when Battlefield 2042 launches you can enable it with just a few clicks on several generations of GeForce GPUs. Be sure to use it for a more responsive experience that may give you the competitive edge.

If you buy the Gold or Ultimate editions of Battlefield 2042*, or are an EA Play Pro member**, you’re eligible for Early Access, allowing you to start playing a week early on November 12th.

For optimum performance during the Early Access period, we recommend installing our latest GeForce Game Ready Driver, and then upgrading to our Battlefield 2042 GeForce Game Ready Driver that launches shortly before the game’s general release on November 19th. To quickly and easily install both, use GeForce Experience, which will notify you whenever a new driver’s released.

Going to war on PC allows you to enjoy higher detail levels, uncapped frame rates, and gameplay enhanced by variable refresh rate G-SYNC monitors, TVs and displays. And playing Battlefield 2042 on a GeForce RTX system gives you the definitive experience, enhanced with ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex,

Get the Game Ready Driver, and prepare to experience Battlefield 2042 at its best with RTXON.
