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?
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
Game is CPU heavy so the GPU doesn't matter as much.
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
Im getting 60-70fps on high (ultra texture and texture filtering + fxaa). Well optimised game/map.
PC Specs
I along with others had maxed out CPU usage during the beta which was causing frame stutters.
Optimized no not yet at least.
PC Specs
course you get frame stutters on ultra with our cpu. i overclocked mine to 4.9ghz and still have sum drops down to the high 40s
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
I played the beta at ultra texture and texture filtering, all the other settings médium without DOF and medium fxaa @32 fps.
PC Specs
Why do you have a gt 730?
PC Specs
Meaby becuse not everyone needs a high end 400$+ GPU or in most cases cant aford it.
PC Specs
I used to have a gtx 750 ti, but have to sell it for food and clothes, so now im using my dad´s GPU and did an extreme OC to it, so it surprisingly can handle everything i throw at it, except quantum break.
PC Specs
With my rig i can play it in mininum graphics at 1440x900 :P, 45 fps approximately :P
PC Specs
Since when is a FX-6350 comparable to a I5 6600K? :p
PC Specs
Hah! Finally ... :D
-Since EA launched BF1's system req- :P
PC Specs
How can a top tier i5 cpu be in the minimum requirements list?
PC Specs
GTX 650 @1241MHz/1500MHz (6000MHz effective) gets 60 FPS locked (Vsync enabled) on Low 1360x768, few drops to 50-55, ocasionally.
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
why do you want to know about AMD cards you use nvidia yourself?
PC Specs
I'm a consumer, not a NVIDIA fanboy.
PC Specs
I called these req a week ago >.> but nein, people called BS on it! xD
PC Specs
predict requirements they said
it would be fun they said
PC Specs
those are not the minimum requirements, i was able to play it on ultra/50-60fps without overclocking. thats not what a minimum requirement should represent
PC Specs
like seriously i can run the beta on high preset with aa turned off on 30-50 fps easily
PC Specs
what settings should I turn down to limit CPU bottlenecking?
PC Specs
Most graphics setting has no effect over processor. You really need a new CPU, FX-4xxx is too weak for GTX 970.
PC Specs
yes, but I don't have money
PC Specs
Try to OC your processor or save some money.
PC Specs
4+1 phase mobo-not gonna happen, it is unstable at 4.5ghz with a little voltage increase.
PC Specs
what cooler do you got? if its a good one you can raise the voltage for like .1 volts, my standard setting is 1.3625volts but when setting it to 1.45 the temperatures dont rise that high (60-65°C with my CM hyper 212 evo)
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
I guess that's for 1080p 60 FPS on low.
PC Specs
What I said wrong? This site has too many haters, anything is a reason to downvote.
PC Specs
The game looks really good but the sys req are just ridiculous!
The more puzzling thing is the insane CPU req instead of really high GPU req. And 8 GB RAM as minimum? We are in 2016 right not 2026?
PC Specs
cpu demanding is because of dynamic weather and extreme destructibility
PC Specs
Though the game works fine with first gen i3. So it is quite odd to list 6600k as minimum req.
PC Specs
i think it's for the best gaming experience i think, some people are very sensitive or it might be because of some very demanding maps we haven't seen yet but yes it is quite odd
PC Specs
8GB ram minimum is common these days.
PC Specs
I am running this game at 75-95 FPS on ultra. No problems for me.
PC Specs
was playing against a cheater today. he was just a flying pistol
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
What?
FX-6350=i5 6600k???
PC Specs
maybe bf1 have wonderful optimisation for AMD(able to properly work with amount of cores >4, hello ubisoft).
PC Specs
I'm getting about 25 fps on 720p on my rig. it's very playable
PC Specs
Well the cpu requirement is off by quite a bit. I can pull off 60 fps at tweaked ultra with my cpu! :D
PC Specs
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...
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
Pretty much sums my experience up! Also nice to see your rig is very similar to mine! :P
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
I have an i52500k @stock and 8Gb RAM,
If I upgrade to GTX1070 and 16gb RAM, Would it be bottlenecked due to my old processor??
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
Damn, now I wish I would've spend 60 euro more for a 6th gen setup
PC Specs
I would always say go with the best you can at the time. I bought a rig with a i5-4590 in 2014, and it couldn't even handle a 980ti without a noticeable bottleneck.
PC Specs
I currently have an i5 2500k,8Gb(1.6)RAM and HD 7850 OCed 2gb,
I want to get a new GPU,Which should I buy? RX480 or GTX1060 6gb AMP edition ??
PC Specs
The 1060 has better performance overall :)
PC Specs
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!
PC Specs
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.
PC Specs
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
PC Specs
Huh? 1060 is performing better on BF1 beta than 480.
If you can get 480 for cheaper go for it. But if they are same priced, i'd definitely take 1060.
PC Specs

That is in DX11 though, and for some reason I failed that link, and cant edit the comment.
