Battlefield 2042 benchmark on RTX 4070: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Battlefield 2042 FPS with a RTX 4070 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 115FPS min 75Good | 92FPS min 67Good | 51FPS min 45Acceptable |
| High | 150FPS min 98Excellent | 119FPS min 87Good | 67FPS min 59Good |
| Medium | 196FPS min 128Excellent | 156FPS min 114Excellent | 87FPS min 76Good |
| Low | 253FPS min 166Excellent | 202FPS min 148Excellent | 113FPS min 99Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 37% | CPU 24% | GPU 18% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 4070. There is 16% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Battlefield 2042 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 4070 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 115 | 144 | 167 | 245 |
| 1440p | 92 | 124 | 152 | 211 |
| 4K | 51 | 74 | 94 | 126 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 4070 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RTX 4070 has headroom to spare in Battlefield 2042: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 4070 Enough for Battlefield 2042?
The RTX 4070 delivers 115 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Battlefield 2042. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 92 FPS and at 4K 51 FPS at Ultra quality.
