 Additional Tips to Optimize Battlefield 2042 on PC

 

Here are some expert-level tweaks to further boost your game performance:

 

1. Update GPU Drivers

 

NVIDIA and AMD frequently release Battlefield-optimized drivers. Use GeForce Experience or AMD Adrenalin to keep them updated.

 

2. Tweak Windows Settings

 

• Disable Game Mode (can cause issues)


• Set Battlefield 2042’s .exe to “High Priority” in Task Manager


• Enable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling (in Windows Settings)

 

 

3. Overclock Your GPU/CPU (Advanced Users)

 

Use tools like MSI Afterburner to squeeze out extra performance—but monitor thermals carefully.

 

4. Limit Background Apps

 

Close Discord overlays, Chrome tabs, and any background software that eats up CPU/RAM.

 

5. Use a High Refresh Rate Monitor

 

Cap your FPS just below your monitor’s refresh rate (e.g., 141 FPS on a 144Hz display) to minimize tearing and latency.
