Why am I getting low FPS in Battlefield 6 with decent specs?
Asked by
CoolGamer77
I'm running the Battlefield 6 beta on my PC which is equipped with an RTX 3060 and a Ryzen 5 3500x, but I'm only getting 30-40 FPS. I've checked out videos of others with similar or even worse specs achieving 60-90 FPS. I've spent hours tweaking settings but haven't seen any improvements. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on? Just to note, I had similar performance issues with Battlefield 2042 as well.

If you're using the EA app, make sure the in-game overlay is enabled. I noticed a serious frame rate boost when I turned it on. Also, double-check if you have XMP enabled in your BIOS as it helps with RAM performance.

What resolution are you playing at? Are you on 1080p?
CoolGamer77: Yeah, I’m on 1080p. I even tried dropping to 720p, but the FPS didn’t improve.

RAM plays a big role in gaming performance. Can you tell me what type of RAM you have? Is it 2x16GB, 1x32GB, or something else? If you have a decent amount of RAM but it's slow, that could hinder performance too.
CoolGamer77: I have 16GB of RAM, specifically 2x8GB.

Hey, considering all Battlefield games have high RAM demands, even 16GB can sometimes limit you, especially in newer titles. Also, if you're loading the game from a hard drive rather than an SSD, that can significantly impact your performance.
CoolGamer77: I do have 16GB of RAM and the game is installed on an SSD. I’m not very tech-savvy, but can you explain why RAM would be a limiting factor?

Sometimes when my game runs poorly, toggling Fullscreen mode by pressing Alt+Enter twice helps for some reason. I use a 3060 Ti with a Ryzen 5 5600X and usually get over 60 FPS without a hitch.

Your Ryzen 5 3500X is a 6-core, 6-thread CPU, which is at the minimum requirements for Battlefield 6. While it might run, you're really pushing its limits, especially since the minimum recommendation is for a 6-core, 12-thread processor.
SkilledPlayer99: That’s true, but remember, core count isn’t everything; performance can vary greatly between different CPUs.

CoolGamer77: I’m using Steam and pretty sure that the EA overlay is auto-enabled. Unfortunately, I didn’t see an improvement like others have mentioned.
