Is this bad news for PC gamers?
While we happen to know this, do not feel demotivated by this news, as this is an early test run for the builds currently under development. One good news for PC users is that Battlefield 2042 will run best with Nvidia GeForce RTX 20 series or 30 series graphics card. The final version of the game is said to support Nvidia DLSS and Nvidia reflex. These two graphic card series might as well provide the best in-game experience.

If you are unaware of what these two terms mean, allow us to explain. DLSS (Deep Learning Scaling) is an AI protocol that renders images in lesser resolution, employing clever up-mixing to present them in a higher resolution. Because of this, DLSS can provide pseudo-4K gaming at high frame rates without pushing the GPU to display games at native 4K resolution.
Nvidia Reflex measures system latency and optimizes games to respond faster to a player’s mouse or keyboard inputs. This feature might be in huge demand for the competitive gamers out there. It is interesting to note that Nvidia GeForce cards from the GTX 900-series are not compatible with DLSS, but Reflex is!
