Low graphics for PS5 and Series X!
Hi DICE,
Both Series X and PS5 have now support VRR and according to the frame-rate graph (tested on PS5), these consoles still have lots of performance overhead.
Please add an additional Higher graphical mode for these consoles that increases the graphical output at the cost of stable 60fps. Since both consoles still have some performance overhead, many players with an VRR televisions/monitors can tolerate minor frame drops in this higher graphics mode.
All modern games on the PS5 and Series X offer multiple graphical modes and I think a high budget AAA-game like Battlefield should offer this too.
Right now these console can absolutely use some better graphics, as the current one offers stable 60fps with relatively bad graphics (equivalent to PC Medium/High).
Here are some pictures of low LOD (level of detail) when it comes to shadow, foliage and terrain quality on the PS5/Series X:
- Massive foliage pop-in is experienced at 15 meter distance from the player when moving froward in foliage dense maps (Orbital, Renewal, Discarded, Kleidoscope). Short and long grass are suffering the most and its very emerging breaking.
- Shadow draw distance is set to 10 meters, which is unbelievably unacceptable and emerging breaking when shadow is constantly popping in when running or driving in a vehicle. This especially happens to some tree shadows (Kleidoscope) and shadows of destructible object such as fences.
- Shadow quality is set very low on distant trees (currently equivalent to PC Medium/Low).
- Terrain detail is currently set too low where tessellated rocks on the ground pop-in at 15 meter distant (especially visible in the Renewal desert part). As a result the ground is constantly flickering and popping in when the character is running or driving forward.
The pictures represent the pop-in when player moves forward (pictures are taking on PS5 for the representation).
Please add an additional Fidelity Mode for the PS5 and Series X specifically that increased these graphical settings to High/Ultra. A 45-60 fps for this mode is very acceptable for players that demand higher graphics and resolution. Especially considering that many players have VRR screens.
Please DICE, surly this can't be too difficult since 90% of the games on PS5 and Series X already offer multiple graphical settings for the players. It should be the players choice how they want to experience their game. I have seen many players asking for this feature on Reddit and Twitter. Thanks you for understanding and hopefully we can see this in the future.
