I've been playing Battlefield 6 with my 5070 GPU and an i9-9900K CPU. The game runs smoothly at first, but during intense firefights, the performance dips—my gun feels sluggish and the gameplay stutters. I've set all my graphics settings to low; am I missing something to improve this?

Honestly, if the 9900K is running at 100% usage at 1080p, it might be time for an upgrade. Newer games are pushing hardware more than ever, and you might want to consider a new motherboard with a more modern CPU.
Monitor your FPS as well. If there’s a significant difference between your monitor's refresh rate and your game’s FPS, it can cause stuttering. For example, if you have a 165Hz monitor, cap your FPS around 160-170 to improve smoothness.
From my experience with a 5070 at 1440p, I haven’t faced these performance issues. It might still point towards the CPU being the weak link. Also, keep in mind that at 1440p, maxing out textures can hurt performance, so find a sweet spot.
It sounds like your CPU might be the bottleneck. Battlefield 6 is pretty taxing on CPU resources. You should check your resource usage while playing. If your GPU isn’t maxing out (under 100% usage) while your CPU is, that's a clear sign. You can use some in-game metrics to compare the two as well.
You could try optimizing your settings by checking the Digital Foundry's recent YouTube video on BF6 optimization. They explain how to utilize the in-game metrics to spot CPU or GPU issues and adjust your settings accordingly. I’m using a similar setup, and I’m getting a stable 90-110 FPS with a mix of high and ultra settings.
