The first reports on the Battlefield 6 performance have appeared. The new shooter from Electronic Arts promises to be highly optimized.
Lately, there's been a wave of positive news surrounding Battlefield 6. The game focuses on realism and will also include a server browser that’s expected to "meet player expectations." The optimization looks promising, but you should take it with a grain of salt. Current reports suggest that for the best performance, a high-end AMD processor is a better bet than an Intel CPU.
In early August, a streamer named Bruhskey shared their impressions of the Battlefield 6 tests on X. The gameplay was recorded in native 1440p resolution - without the use of any upscaling technologies. Bruhskey also didn’t mention any use of frame generation - which, if accurate, reflects well on the game’s optimization. According to the streamer, the matches played were typical skirmishes that players can expect after the game's launch, with Cairo being the most commonly featured map.
According to Bruhskey, achieving the best performance will require a gaming-grade AMD processor with 3D V-Cache technology. The gap between AMD and Intel processors exceeds 100 frames per second - a crucial factor when it comes to competitive shooters.
Bruhskey's PC setup during the test featured the following configuration:
His friend was also playing Battlefield 6 on a nearly identical configuration. The only difference was the processor: instead of the Ryzen, it was an Intel Core i9-14900K. That alone caused the game's performance to drop by around 110 frames - roughly 33%. With the AMD processor, Bruhskey maintained over 300 FPS and even came close to hitting 400.
The streamer's report comes across as overwhelmingly positive. Battlefield 6 can be classified as a AAA title, which typically come with high system requirements. Meanwhile, on such a powerful rig, the streamer managed to achieve over 300 FPS at 1440p resolution. This suggests that EA’s shooter could be playable even on cheaper PCs. All will be verified at the games launch, which is scheduled for October 10th this year.
