Battlefield 6 performs well even on super-weak iGPU: Ryzen 5 5600G with mediocre Vega 7 runs Battlefield 6 at over 45 FPS
After the rather disappointing Battlefield 2046, Dice seems to have nailed Battlefield 6, as early impressions of the game have been positive. We also gave Battlefield 6’s Open Beta a shot and came out impressed. While you can read our full report here, the gist of the matter is that, courtesy of thoughtful design changes, Battlefield 6 feels like a true Battlefield game with a clear identity.
Dice has also done an excellent job of optimizing Battlefield 6. We managed to run the game at more than 70 FPS at 1440p/medium with FSR using a Ryzen 7 5800X and an RTX 3060 Ti. Dropping the resolution down to 1080p would likely have gotten us close to 100 FPS.
What’s more impressive, however, is that Battlefield 6 apparently even manages to run fine on a weak iGPU. AMD APU Gaming’s test of the Battlefield 6 Open Beta on a Ryzen 5 5600G with a Vega 7 iGPU shows the game consistently hitting FPS in the high 40s, occasionally even going into mid-to-high 50s. All of this was using 1080p resolution, low settings, and FSR set to the “Quality” mode.
Additionally, with FSR set to “Ultra Performance”, the Battlefield 6 Open Beta seems to consistently run in the mid-to-high 50 FPS range. If you are fine with some visual trade-offs that accompany Frame Generation techniques, AMD APU Gaming shows that you can even play Battlefield 6 at a consistent 60 FPS with Frame Gen enabled and FSR set to “Quality”.
Simply put, if you want to play Battlefield 6 but don’t even have an entry-level GPU like an RTX 3060, modern iGPUs in the Intel Lunar Lake CPUs or AMD Ryzen APUs should serve you fine, if you are ready to sacrifice visuals. For folks with handheld PCs like the ROG Ally with Z1 Extreme, the MSI Claw, and the Lenovo Legion Go, the story should be even better.
