Battlefield 6 Optimized Graphics Settings for PC

Graphics

Performance Preset

Custom

We'll tweak individual settings, so there's no need to choose a static preset for all the settings.

Graphics Preset

Sharpness

Player's Preference

It's recommended to start from 30% sharpness and either increase or decrease from there. Oversharpening the game makes the visuals look bad.

Display

Fullscreen Mode

Borderless

Makes it easier to Alt+Tab out of the game, and there isn't any performance reduction compared to using the exclusive full-screen mode.

Fullscreen Resolution

Native

It's best that players use the native resolution of their monitor to get the best visual experience in Battlefield 6.

Aspect Ratio

Auto

-

Vertical Sync

Off

Advanced Graphics Settings

Fixed Resolution Scale

100%

Lowering this scale will result in low-rest muddy textures. Keep it at 100%, and we'll use an upscaler to get performance gains instead.

Frame Rate Limited

Off

It's best to keep your FPS uncapped to have the most responsive experience in the game, especially during gunfights.

Dynamic Resolution Scale

Off

This option will automatically downscale your resolution during intense scenes to maintain high FPS. Definitely won't be needing this.

Nvidia Reflex Low Latency

Enabled

Reduce latency in-game that might be produced with upscalers or frame generation. Not sure if there's AMD Anti-Lag as well, but if AMD users can spot that, make sure to use it.

Anti-Aliasing

Off

Since we'll use the Upscaling Technique below, this option will be greyed out automatically. But for players who want to attain the max visuals in the single-player campaign, go for DLAA or FSR Native AA.

Upscaling Technique

DLSS or FSR

It's best to use Nvidia DLSS or AMD FSR to get a performance boost in multiplayer and other competitive modes.

Upscaling Quality

Quality Mode

Battlefield 6's performance is stable enough that players can switch to quality mode and still get an FPS boost while maintaining high visual fidelity.

Frame Generation

On

Frame Generation is one of the best settings for Battlefield 6 that you can use to get a huge performance uplift. Since your base FPS (before turning on FG) will be decent, you won't be experiencing any noticeable input lag.

Future Frame Rendering

Players' Preference

Future Frame Rendering takes the Frame Generation feature a step further by making the gameplay even smoother, but at the cost of input lag. So, it's recommended to try this setting out yourself and see if you're not at a competitive disadvantage.

Graphics Quality

Texture Quality

GPU VRAM Dependent

Low-Medium: 6GB VRAM, High: 8GB VRAM, Ultra: 12GB VRAM, Overkill: 16GB VRAM

Texture Filtering

Overkill

It does not impact CPU or GPU performance that much, but improves texture quality significantly.

Mesh Quality

High

Improves the level of detail for environments, excluding other players or vehicles. High is a sweet spot between quality and performance.

Terrain Quality

Medium

Will control how the ground surfaces with rocks or grass look in Battlefield 6, and medium is the best setting preset here for performance.

Undergrowth Quality

Effects Quality

High

Battlefield 6 features some jaw-dropping effects when buildings get hit by explosives and crumble, and an aerial vehicle shoots out flares. Setting it to low will help you attain some FPS, but will lower the visual fidelity of the aforementioned effects.

Volumetric Quality

High

Will impact how fog or smoke effects interact with the in-game lighting to add depth to them. High is the best setting for Battlefield 6 here in terms of balancing visuals with performance.

Lighting Quality

GPU VRAM Dependent

6–8 GB VRAM: Low, 12GB+ VRAM: High

Local Light & Shadow Quality

High

One of the most intensive settings here, and it will balance the look of shadows and local lighting in all BF6 maps.

Sun Shadow Quality

Medium

The medium preset for Sun Shadow Quality looks good enough and will also boost FPS significantly. For players who have performance to spare, they can go for Ultra.

Shadow Filtering

PCF

While PCSS (Percentage-Closer Soft Shadows) gives a realistic feeling to shadows produced in-game, PCF (Percentage Closer Filtering) is a much more performance-friendly option for most players.

Reflection Quality

Medium

Another one of the most taxing settings on Battlefield 6's performance & GPU VRAM on PC, which should be kept at medium to preserve stable FPS.

Screen Space Reflections (SSR)

Low

SSR mainly handles the light reflections bounced off different objects in the maps. This can cause FPS drops in certain indoor environments with an abundance of objects with reflective surfaces.

Post Process Quality

Ultra

It does not impact the FPS a lot, but it will improve the look of any post-processing effects you have enabled, like DOF, bloom, or motion blur.

Screen Space AO (Ambient Occlusion) & GI (Global Illumination)

GTAO High

GTAO is the most performance-friendly option out of the bunch, as SSGI will simulate indirect lighting, which is a taxing technique.

High Fidelity Objects Amount

High

Improves the animation and visual quality of other players and vehicles on the screen. High is a sweet spot between graphics and performance.
