- Some Ryzen CPUs are experiencing significant issues running Battlefield 6.
- The game is unplayable on Ryzen 5 2600, despite being listed in the system requirements.
- Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 7 5800X3D don’t offer any significant improvements, experiencing spikes and low fps.
Battlefield 6 early access is finally here, and it’s breaking records with almost 300k players waiting in the queue to check what EA has been cooking up for the past few years. So far, responses have been quite positive, but there are still a few problems with the game.
Despite the developers’ earlier claims that they focused on optimisation a lot, tests reveal otherwise. Battlefield 6 is quite unplayable on some Ryzen CPUs, even with them being listed on the system requirements.
Why it matters: Since this is early access, EA has plenty of time to address any performance issues with these processors. It’s important to highlight these issues so that they get noticed by the developers.
PCGH tested Battlefield 6 on multiple CPUs, including the Ryzen 5 2600, which is listed in the minimum system requirements for the game. Still, though, the game struggles a lot on the CPU with terrible frametimes despite the average framerate being sufficient. As per their testing, the six-core isn’t the limiting factor for the game, but rather the Zen+ architecture.
The Ryzen 5 2600 CPU features a dual CCX configuration, with each CCX comprising three cores. This design can introduce some latency in communication between cores, which may result in increased lag and occasional spikes in frametimes.
The Ryzen 7 3700X is listed as the recommended CPU for the game, delivering a playable result on all configs, but doesn’t deliver high FPS.
The newer X3D processors won’t do well either. While running the game, there were constant spikes with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, although the reason remains unclear.
Although newer models deliver excellent results. One benchmark showed that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D outperformed the i9-14900K flagship CPU by 33%.
