Colorful claims new BIOSes deliver 15% FPS boost in Battlefield 6 through extra-tight memory timings — fresh update also has a new "Moore" UI

Hero - Colorful RAM timings boost.

Colorful isn't a brand that shows up in headlines as much as Asus or Gigabyte, but the Chinese manufacturer's wares live up to their name and sometimes bring out-of-left-field features. Case in point: new motherboard BIOS updates with two settings for extra-tight memory latency timings that claim a +15% FPS boost in Battlefield 6, along with a +6 to 7% speed in the AIDA64 memory speed benchmarks. Oh, and a new "Moore" user interface.

That figure is more than a little eyebrow-raising, but not technically impossible with the right CPU and RAM. In its testing, Colorful used an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, presumably a cherry-picked one, and low-latency CL28 memory at 6000 MT/s. There's no further detail on the test conditions, but if we had to guess, Colorful used an RTX 5090 graphics card and tested the game in 1920x1080 resolution. The frame rate went from 146 to 172 FPS, a 15% boost.
