Have You Tried Battlefield 6 on the RX 7700s?

I’m curious what kind of performance I could expect from battlefield 6 out of my first batch FW 16 w/ 7700s.

2k resolution, FSR on Quality and a mix of low/mid settings (game looks amazing even on low), 70-80FPS in any situation. :smiley:

Did you have to update to AMD public drivers rather than the Framework driver bundle? It won’t let me play unless I update, but the public drivers at 25.8.1 seem unstable and I’ve gotten a few black screen crashes.

I used 25.9.1 without issues, except the anticheat closing Adrenaline without asking, randomly.

It’s only been a few hours of gaming tho, no extensive testing

Did you happen to have any battery drain issues? Are you on BIOS 3.0.7? I’m on 25.9.1 and getting some battery drain issues while plugged in with the power profile set to “Balanced”.

i’ve played it at 1080p and at high/medium settings at it works like a dream and no stutters.

I actually brought mine to a BF6 launch LAN this weekend and it worked… after some improvisation.

At 1080 with most everything on low, I experienced quite a bit of stuttering and general unpleasantness. Partially disassembling with this little fan dissipating the heat from the bottom of the chassis actually made a big difference and it was a pretty pleasant experience after that. The battery still drained but was manageable. Windows 11/best performance mode/latest BIOS and AMD direct drivers.

Overwatch 2 played great but sadly, it would NOT play Age of Empires 2 DE and the frames would oscillate constantly between 120 and 1-5. I had to sit that one out which was a bummer, considering that should be a cakewalk even for the iGPU.

Overall, it got the job done but my 5070 can’t arrive soon enough.

I ended up picking the game up and tried it out. I get about 100fps on low with FSR set to ultra-performance and it still looks great. Only issue I’ve had is sometimes my dGPU will decide that it only needs 30W and then my framerate tanks, but that’s not specific to this game or even Windows.

Sorry, didn’t have time to do more gaming/testing.

I’m on 29.10.1 right now, the experimental-BF6 driver from AMD.

I’m on BIOS 3.0.6, the 3.0.7 had issues on the iGPU for me (weird artifacts after the MUX switched back to the iGPU after gaming).

I’m waiting for 4.00 BIOS with the whole power code refactoring and can’t wait to put my hands on the 5070!Anyway, except the (shitty and invasive IMHO) anticheat forcefully closing Adrenaline whenever, no issues for now. No crashes or other weird stuff.
I’m on Atlas OS (Windows 11 debloated), all latest driver from 2.06 official FW package,
Adrenaline updated to 29.10.1 experimental.

OK, I had some time to test stuff.

Currently running:

3.06 BIOS

25.10.1 Experimental AMD Adrenaline (officially supports BF6)

Medium preset, FSR Quality and AFMF 2.1 enabled (Quality/High AFMF settings), I hover around 115-120FPS, without AFMF it’s 55/60.

I know people are skeptical about AFMF, but it works better than FSR framegen IMHO, doubles the framerate adding only 15ms of lag. Native 2k is not worth the performance hit, FSR does a great job.

Wouldn’t use AFMF for high competitive esports titles (CS:GO), but for BF6 it works wonderfully, if you don’t mind the occasional HUD ghosting.

Hardware Unboxed made a great video comparing a lot of GPUs, and our beloved 7700S performs just under the RX 7600 (desktop).

I’ll concur that video definitely feels smoother with artificial frame generation, but as you noted, you really do need a sufficient pre-generation framerate otherwise the latency will simply be too high.
