Battlefield 6 is finally here, and I think it's fair to say that expectations are high regarding its performance. The developers have made much noise about prioritising optimisation over best-in-class graphics, including eschewing ray traced lighting for a traditional baked-in approach, and the minimum specs list the dusty-old RTX 2060 and RX 5600 XT as all that's needed for 1080p 30 fps gameplay.
Which, given some of the releases so far this year, must come as a welcome relief for those of you running less than top-end hardware. I've had a chance to perform some early testing of Battlefield 6's performance on two of Nvidia's mid-to-upper-mid range GPUs, the RTX 4070 and RTX 5070 Ti, and I've got even better news for you—not only does the game look great, but it seems mercifully light on modern graphics cards at everything but the very top setting.
