Battlefield 1 Minimum System Requirements Are Here

Battlefield 1 minimum system requirements are now official. Following the huge uptake in the Battlefield 1 Beta, that went live last week, we now have eyes on the entry level BF1 sys specs. 

Official Battlefield 1 Minimum System Requirements are

  • OS: 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10
  • AMD CPU: AMD FX-6350 processor
  • Intel CPU: Core i5 6600K processor
  • RAM: 8GB System Memory
  • AMD GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB graphics card
  • NVIDIA GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB graphics card
  • DX: 11.0 Compatible video card or equivalent
  • NET: 512 KBPS or faster Online Internet Connection Requirements
  • HD: 40GB space

We are informed that the official recommended BF1 specs will be announced once they have further processed their Beta data.

To give you an idea of some of the frame rates you are likely to get with Battlefield 1 at 1080p and some other resolutions we have already run some benchmark tests with an Nvidia GTX 950 GPU and provided a Low versus Ultra graphics comparison slider article, so you can get an idea about what you can expect between the two BF1 extreme settings.

We are certainly not surprised by the minimum system specs listed above, apart from that Intel CPU min spec. That looks a bit high based on what we have seen so far. Lower powered Intel CPUs will likely run BF1 beta just fine, and you can head over to our main BF1 game page to see how your rig will run the World War 1 recommended through to min. One other thing to consider is that what we have seen so far is one map. There is a chance that the other maps could have higher requirements than we have seen in the Beta map, so we will just have to wait and see.

As we have reported before, you can play Battlefield 1 on the absolute lowest graphics level and still get a good playable game. And modern hardware can easily return a solid frame rate even at Ultra settings. We saw one of the latest Nvidia cards, MSI GTX 1070, deliver 90 FPS at Ultra 1440p resolution, while that figure went up to 170+ FPS on low graphics settings and 1440p.

will a phenom 945 and a gt 640 gddr5 run this on low settings(lowest res) with over 30 fps?

I think it will, but the cpu will hold it back for sure. Your test rig needs a better cpu, the fx 4170 is very weak and probably on the line with an i3 cpu.

Well, if my GTX 650 ran it with 60 FPS on low 1360x768, GT 640 be able to play it with 30 FPS or more.

If GPU doesn't matter I would run this in 1080p fine, of corse GPU matter! While I run BF4 on Low 1080p 60 FPS, I run BF1 on Low 768p 60 FPS. And his CPU will get at least 30-40 FPS.

There were plenty of others having stutters due to the same problem using 6900ks and I5 6600ks.


Optimization wasn't done but then again people are saying that the beta wasn't even a beta but a pre-alpha version.

Game Debate is pro-NVIDIA?


-They always use NVIDIA cards to test games.
-When GTX 1060 released, they made a lot of tests, but no test with RX 480.
-The GTX 1050's specs has been leaked yesterday, and the GTX 1050 page already is updated with new specs. RX 470 has been released a month ago, the specs had been revealed even before, but GD is still outdated, the same with RX 460.

Nvidia or their AIB partners might be sponsoring Game Debate by sending them GPUs, which is why they could be updated faster. The RX 460 isn't really interesting because it's not even on par with a GTX 950.

If the RX 460 isn't "interesting" it doesn't mean they shouldn't test it or shouldn't be given one. They do receive AMD GPUs occasionally, hence this 480 review. I don't know why they don't use them for tests though.

I didn't say they should test RX 460, I said they should at least update the spces and rank it correctly, the same with RX 470, they don't need to be supported by AMD for this.

lol strange minimum specs because i can run it on med/high 45/55 fps XFAA off. Its like Battlefront can run that easy on 1080P. Have play the beta BF1 also, yeay there are some FPS drops, but not dramatically. FX6300 powerfull enough to run it on low/med on 60 FPS.

Yeah,people have already made cheats for the vulnerable beta. I have been shot by enermy snipers through rocks, buildings and even the freaking ground. When this happenes I just give up and get 35 kills in an op light tank. Once I shot a man several times at point blank with shrapnel shot and he would just refuse to do die. He ended up dieing by accidentally killing himself with an anti tank grenade he tried using on my tank.

Same here, although I've OC'd mine to 4.2Ghz to get a bit more out of it. The system RAM requirements are probably correct, though... I don't know if I really need the 16GB I have, but for this game, as well as the new Deus Ex, I've noticed it going over 50% of my RAM, and I just upgraded to 16GB, so I guess it would have been bogged down in my pagefile before...

Waaaay off. With my rig I'm getting fps ranging from 55-79 on ultra 1080p depending where I am on the map. Perhaps the 6600k is meant for faster map loading speeds or they have a spreadsheet and saw most people have a 6600k in their rig.

I'm getting around 75-85 FPS in this game on ultra settings and TAA on 1080p, enabling Vsync gives me stable 60FPS. I think the Intel CPU requirement is too high and you can definitely get away with something lower.

Yes, there would be a bottleneck. Any i5 pre-skylake would bottleneck above a GTX 1060. My advice would be to go for a Skylake i5 6600k-GTX 1060 combo. Have a look at the difference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ_5p9wd2dk.

But some people say that 1060 is good only for current games,
Because it is not optimized with DirectX12,
480 is optimized with DirectX12 and will give good performance in the games coming out this year and a few next years!

DirectX12 at the moment is actually degrading performance instead of helping it. You can see it with BF1. Both AMD and Nvidia have a loss of frames instead of a gain. I would say go for the gtx1060.

its not true this is still based on dx 11 like other games which give you similar performance like dx 12... games has to be from goundup on dx12 then you can se more benefit from it... and the guy above is veryy correct for long term i would go defenetlly with rx 480 8gb its getting even better fps in bf1 also

If you can get 480 for cheaper go for it. But if they are same priced, i'd definitely take 1060.
