Graphics card (GPU)
Not a limit on most PCs
Even a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 117 FPS at 1080p.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("Processor (AMD): Six-core CPU Processor (Intel): Quad-core CPU") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Battlefield 4™, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
Not stated
The publisher doesn't state a video memory requirement, so we don't estimate one.
Settings to lower first in Battlefield 4™
- 1Nothing, on a dedicated graphics card: even a budget card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
- 2On integrated graphics, lower the resolution or render scale first. Intel Iris Xe averages about 54 FPS at 1080p.
- 3Battlefield 4™ ships capped at 200 FPS. If your PC can go faster, a supported in-game or config setting lifts the cap.
