Battlefield 6 Best PC Settings:
More FPS and Lower Input Lag

The display and graphics settings that matter for competitive play, how to tell if your CPU is holding you back in 64-player matches, and how to fix the Secure Boot error.

Play in Fullscreen at your monitor's highest refresh rate. Turn V-Sync off, Future Frame Rendering off and NVIDIA Reflex to Enabled + Boost. Keep frame generation off in multiplayer. Use a low preset and raise only textures if you have the VRAM. In 64-player matches the CPU is often the limit, so check GPU usage before lowering more settings.

Battlefield 6 runs on Frostbite with DX12. Large matches with lots of players, vehicles and destruction put a heavy load on the CPU. That is why many players see high FPS in small modes and big drops in full Conquest lobbies, even with a strong graphics card.

Two settings decide most of your input lag: Future Frame Rendering and NVIDIA Reflex. Future Frame Rendering lets the CPU prepare frames ahead of the GPU. That raises average FPS, but every queued frame adds delay. Reflex does the opposite: it keeps the queue near empty so your input reaches the screen sooner.

On PC the game uses EA's Javelin anti-cheat, which needs Secure Boot and TPM 2.0. If the game will not launch, start with step 1.

Before you start

  • ✓Update your GPU driver to the latest version for Battlefield 6.
  • ✓Let the game finish compiling shaders in the main menu after every driver or game update. Playing during compilation causes stutter.
  • ✓Turn on XMP or EXPO in the BIOS if you have not. Big Battlefield matches gain a lot from fast memory.

Step-by-step

  1. 1.Fix the Secure Boot / TPM 2.0 error first

    The PC anti-cheat requires Secure Boot and TPM 2.0. If either is off, the game will not start, no matter how good your settings are.

    1. Press Win + R, type msinfo32 and press Enter. Check BIOS Mode (it must say UEFI) and Secure Boot State (it must say On).
    2. Press Win + R, type tpm.msc. It should show "The TPM is ready for use" with Specification Version 2.0.
    3. If BIOS Mode says Legacy, your system disk uses MBR. Convert it to GPT first with Microsoft's MBR2GPT tool (command below), then switch the BIOS to UEFI.
    4. In the BIOS: turn CSM off, set Secure Boot to Enabled (Windows UEFI mode, standard keys), and turn on fTPM (AMD) or PTT (Intel) if TPM was missing. Save and restart, then check msinfo32 again.
    mbr2gpt /validate /allowFullOS
mbr2gpt /convert /allowFullOS

    Careful: Back up important files before converting a disk, and suspend BitLocker first if it is on. Only switch the BIOS to UEFI after the conversion succeeds, or Windows will not boot.

  2. 2.Display settings

    1. Display Mode: Fullscreen.
    2. Refresh Rate: the highest your monitor supports.
    3. V-Sync: Off.
    4. Future Frame Rendering: Off.
    5. NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Enabled + Boost. On AMD, turn on Radeon Anti-Lag in the Adrenalin software instead.
    6. Frame Rate Limit: set a cap you can hold most of the time (see the frame cap step).
    7. Dynamic Resolution Scale: Off, so the picture does not blur in heavy fights.

  3. 3.Graphics settings

    Most graphics options cost GPU time. Textures mainly use VRAM, so they are nearly free if your card has enough memory.

    1. Start from the Low preset.
    2. Raise Texture Quality and Texture Filtering to High if your card has 8 GB of VRAM or more.
    3. Turn Motion Blur, Chromatic Aberration, Film Grain and Vignette off where available. They hide detail and add nothing in a fight.
    4. Upscaling: if you need more FPS, use DLSS, FSR or XeSS at Quality. Do not go lower than Balanced at 1080p, or targets get blurry.
    5. Frame Generation: Off for multiplayer. It raises the FPS counter but adds input lag.

  4. 4.Check if your CPU is the limit

    If the CPU is the bottleneck, lowering graphics further does nothing, and you are better off fixing the CPU side.

    1. Turn on a performance overlay: the NVIDIA App overlay (Alt + R) or AMD Adrenalin metrics (Ctrl + Shift + O).
    2. Play a full Conquest match. If GPU usage stays well under 90% while your FPS drops, you are CPU-limited.
    3. When CPU-limited: keep Reflex on Enabled + Boost, close browsers, launchers and RGB software, and make sure XMP/EXPO is on.

    In CPU-limited scenes, a frame cap slightly below your average FPS makes frame times much more even than running uncapped.

  5. 5.Set a frame cap

    1. Use the in-game limiter. It adds less delay than outside tools like RTSS.
    2. With G-Sync or FreeSync: cap a few frames below your refresh rate (for example 138 at 144 Hz, 224 at 240 Hz).
    3. Without G-Sync or FreeSync: cap at an FPS your PC holds in big fights, so the GPU is not stuck at 100%.

  6. 6.Windows side

    1. Game Mode: On (Settings > Gaming > Game Mode).
    2. Close overlays you do not use: Discord overlay, Steam overlay, browser tabs playing video.
    3. Keep the game on an SSD.

Check that it worked

  • ✓The game launches without a Secure Boot or TPM message.
  • ✓The overlay shows GPU usage near 95-99% in GPU-heavy scenes, or your cap is holding steady.
  • ✓Aim feels the same in small and big fights once the cap is set.

What does not work (and why)

✗ Future Frame Rendering On lowers input lag

It queues frames ahead, which raises FPS and adds delay. Off is the competitive choice.

✗ Frame generation is free FPS for multiplayer

Generated frames do not react to your input, and the base frames arrive later. Keep it off in competitive matches.

✗ A user.cfg with thread settings doubles FPS

Thread-count tweaks come from older Battlefield games. There is no evidence they help in Battlefield 6, and editing game files next to kernel anti-cheat is not worth the risk.

✗ Turning off Secure Boot gives more FPS

Secure Boot has no FPS cost, and Battlefield 6 will not start without it.

// FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the best Battlefield 6 settings for FPS?
Low preset, textures High if you have 8 GB+ VRAM, Future Frame Rendering Off, Reflex Enabled + Boost, V-Sync Off, frame generation Off, and DLSS or FSR Quality only if you need more FPS.
Should Future Frame Rendering be on or off?
Off for competitive play. On raises average FPS by queueing frames, but that queue adds input lag.
Why is my GPU usage low in Battlefield 6?
Big matches load the CPU heavily. If GPU usage stays well under 90% while FPS drops, the CPU is the limit. Use Reflex Boost, close background apps, turn on XMP/EXPO, and cap your FPS.
How do I fix "Secure Boot is not enabled" in Battlefield 6?
Check msinfo32: BIOS Mode must be UEFI and Secure Boot State On. If BIOS Mode is Legacy, convert the disk with MBR2GPT, then turn CSM off and Secure Boot on in the BIOS.
