Foreign media TechPower Up released 17 GPU reviews for the public beta version of "BAT 6". The article pointed out that "BAT 6" is built using the latest version of the Frost Engine. Although the game screen has been comprehensively improved compared to "BAT 2042", it is surprising that the BETA version does not support ray tracing.On the other hand, the BETA version supports scaling technologies such as DLSS, FSR and XeSS, and also supports multi-frame generation of Nvidia, AMD and Intel.

Running score data
1080P/Maximum picture quality
In a word: 1080P is stress-free, all mainstream graphics cards are competent (over 60FPS), the RTX 5090 has even exaggeratedly achieved a good result of 314 frames, and the RTX 5080 can also have more than 200 frames.
2K/Maximum image quality
With 2K resolution/highest picture quality, the entry-level configuration of RTX 5060, but as long as you reduce the special effects, the current mainstream graphics cards can still be played without pressure
4K/highest picture quality
Under the highest image quality of 4K/the highest image quality, the RTX 5090 easily ran 168 frames. Foreign netizens: "Battlefield 6" made me feel a little less guilty about buying the RTX 5090.
Turn on DLSS/FSR
in conclusion
"Battlefield 6" B test gave players a glimpse into the style of DICE's latest large-scale shooting game in advance. From a technical perspective, the performance this time was quite outstanding.The game's picture quality has been significantly improved compared to the previous game, and at the same time, it maintains a good level of optimization, allowing players with different hardware configurations to play smoothly.There are also many improvements in gameplay - but there is still room for improvement in terms of balance, map design and some convenience details.The gun feels great, but sometimes it feels more like Call of Duty than Battlefield.
Screen
From the perspective of visual effects, "Battlefield 6" goes a step further than the previous work.The model polygons are considerable in number and the material quality is also good - although it is not yet at the absolute top of the current market.Some recent Unreal 5-based games have been better in environmental details and material performance, but their frame rates tend to be much lower.From a technical point of view, the map design of this work is very excellent and the details are well crafted.
Shader stuck
This test will precompile the shader when starting the game, and it will take about one minute to enter the main menu.This effectively avoids the common shader compilation lags in many recent PC games (especially works using Unreal Engine 5).Once we entered the game, we had almost no such lag, and the battle process was smooth and uninterrupted.
performance
Performance is one of the strongest selling points of Battlefield 6.It works very well on a wide range of hardware from modern high-end graphics cards to old low-end graphics cards.The optimization level is commendable - the frame time is stable and the hand feels smooth.Since this game is online throughout the whole process and only has multiplayer mode and no server list, players can only choose modes instead of maps or factions, which makes benchmarking a bit troublesome.For the test, I had to join the game repeatedly until I got into the right map and camp - which was a bit unkind to my teammates.
Even so, I have to pray that it starts from the beginning of the game, not joins in the middle, so as to ensure that the test conditions are consistent.Nevertheless, the final test results are close enough to the reality.Overall, the performance is excellent - the RTX 5070 can still run to 81 frames with 4K resolution and highest image quality (no upgraded rendering).1440p only requires RTX 5060, 1080p@60 frames can be competent for almost any modern graphics card.Video memory usage is not a problem at all.
Upgrade rendering and frame generation
The game supports upgraded rendering technology across the entire platform, including NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS, which can meet different graphics cards and players' needs.Surprisingly, the DLSS frame generation function did not work at all in the test—the frame rate did not change after being turned on.AMD's FSR frame generation runs normally and brings the expected performance improvement.It can be predicted that the DLSS problem will be fixed in the official version.
Ray Tracing
"Battlefield 6" does not support ray tracing, which does have an impact on the quality of the picture - especially the reflection and indoor lighting effects.Given the tight pace of the game, this is not a big problem - after all, in this type of game, most players value frame rates more than fancy special effects.On the other hand, judging from the current frame rate performance, high-end graphics card users with abundant performance can completely pursue more screen effects.In addition, both of the first two games support ray tracing, and this regression is indeed a bit strange.
Safe start requirements
The most unpleasant thing is that the game's anti-cheating mechanism requires that Secure Boot be enabled in the BIOS.For computer experts, enabling secure boot or even converting storage from MBR to GPT may be a trivial matter, but many novice players will find the steps cumbersome and prone to errors.I also doubt whether this mechanism can really effectively deal with cheating - even with Secure Boot enabled, I can think of several ways to bypass detection and load plug-ins.Ultimately, whether this will affect sales is worth paying attention to, because sales are the only driving force that drives EA to change its strategy.In general, the open test of "Battlefield 6" brought a good first impression - powerful optimization, solid picture performance, and excellent gun feel, which is a huge improvement compared to "Battlefield 2042".I am looking forward to the arrival of the official version and want to see how it will further polish it on this solid foundation.
