We tested the beta with two processors - the Core i3 4130 and the Core i7 4790K, dual-core and quad-core chips respectively. Star Wars: Battlefront is predominantly driven by the GPU in your PC, but before we begin we must sound a note of caution about CPU utilisation.
On top of that, dropping down too low in terms of PC's global presets kills off key effects present on PS4 and Xbox One - the immense tessellated geometry effect in the environments, for example. Why use console-equivalent settings as our foundation? Well, we can safely assume that this offers the best 'bang for the buck' in terms of what can be done with limited graphics resources. In putting this performance preview today, we used the console versions as a base on which to define the core experience, attempting to match PC presets with the PS4 presentation. We can assume that DICE will continue to optimise the game up until release, and we strongly suspect that at least one of the major GPU vendors will be looking to tighten up performance via driver updates, but so close to launch, we aren't expecting massive changes between now and the full November 17th release. The beta also allowed us to profile the revised Frostbite 3 engine across a range of graphics hardware, allowing us to put together this performance preview with settings and hardware recommendations.
The Star Wars: Battlefront beta concluded a few days ago and DICE can seemingly rest easy - the nightmares of the Battlefield 4 era look to be over, server stability held up despite the immense load caused by a cumulative 9m users, and what was presented was a remarkably solid piece of code - good news, bearing in mind that the game releases in just a few short weeks.
