Just ahead of the Battlefield 6 release, detailed benchmarks are being released, giving players the chance to see how their GPU will hold up in the latest entry to the franchise. The game, which officially launches later today, was tested on PC across multiple resolutions, and the results confirm that RTX 50 and 40-series GPUs are currently the best choices for players aiming for high FPS and smooth gameplay.

The tests were done on a rig with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor and 48GB of DDR5 memory, running on Windows 11 24H2. The game was installed on a PCIe 4.0 SSD, and Resizable BAR was enabled for all supported graphics cards.

Battlefield 6 benchmarks are available just ahead of launch

German publication ComputerBase has released its latest Battlefield 6 benchmark results, and the numbers clearly show Nvidia dominating the performance charts. However, it should be noted that all of these tests are run with upscaling enabled, as follows:

• DLSS 4 Quality mode for GeForce GPUs (1.5x upscaling)
• FSR 4 Quality mode for Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs (1.5x upscaling)
• XeSS Ultra Quality Plus for Intel Arc and Radeon RX 7000/6000 series (1.3x upscaling)

At 1440p resolution, the RTX 5090 topped the charts with an average of 189.7 FPS, followed by the RTX 4090 at 160.5 FPS, and the RTX 5080 at 137.3 FPS. The RTX 5070 Ti also performed strongly with 124.9 FPS, keeping it well above AMD's flagship GPUs.

In comparison, AMD's RX 9070 XT managed 112.7 FPS, while the RX 7900 XTX reached 103.2 FPS. Although these numbers are good, Nvidia's newest generation cards clearly outperformed AMD's lineup across the board. Even at the 1% low percentile FPS, which reflects stability and smoothness, Nvidia cards stayed ahead with far fewer drops in frame rates.

At the ultrawide 3440 x 1440 resolution, the performance gap remained large. The RTX 5090 hit 169.8 FPS, the RTX 4090 reached 141 FPS, and the RTX 5080 followed at 120.6 FPS. Meanwhile, AMD's RX 9070 XT delivered 97.3 FPS, and the RX 7900 XTX averaged 89.6 FPS. Even at higher resolutions, Nvidia maintained better stability and smoother frame times, showing that its latest cards handle Battlefield 6's demanding visuals with ease.

Battlefield 6 supports DLSS 4, FSR 4, and XeSS 2. However, ComputerBase notes that DLSS 4 produces sharper images and better stability, especially in fast-moving scenes. AMD's FSR 4 performs well but struggles slightly with fine details. This gives Nvidia an edge, not just in performance, but also in visual quality.

Overall, the results make one thing clear: Nvidia is leading the charge in Battlefield 6 performance. The RTX 50 and 40-series cards consistently deliver higher frame rates and better image quality compared to AMD's RX 9000 series. While AMD's GPUs still offer good value, Battlefield 6 seems to be best optimized for Nvidia hardware, certainly with DLSS 4 enabled.
