The PC version of Battlefield 2042 was powered by a beefier NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card, with DLSS enabled in Quality Mode which would've made the PC version look leagues better than the upscaled console versions of the game.

• Xbox Series S: 1260p at 60fps with temporal reconstruction rendering
• PlayStation 5: 2160p at 60fps with temporal reconstruction rendering
• Xbox Series X: 2160p at 60fps with temporal reconstruction rendering

Battlefield 2042 on the PC "runs with all settings maxed out using DLSS in quality mode with an RTX 3080" while also noting that the PC version has ray tracing for ambient occlusion on NVIDIA GeForce GPUs.
