Do you think Bf2042 will ever be playable on an i74790 (the recommended CPU for this game), or have DICE given up on that? We're coming up for a year after release and as far as I can tell the game still doesn't run well enough to play on the recommended hardware (that's recommended, not minimum). By "playable" I mean, at minimum: lowest graphic settings, 1080p, 64 players, >60FPS.
@PunxelI would say a definite now, BF2042 loves CPU cores, memory bandwidth ...
your platform is aging, it's time to upgrade if you want to play the latest titles...
Even combining a beefy graphics card with the 4790 is not gonna help...
It is playable with high ram speed(xmp ram 2133 mhz /2400 mhz).

The CPU is 8 years old, I doubt you're going to get >60 FPS out of it.
As others have said, the game likes additional cores. And depending on what GPU you have [you didn't specify] you could be getting hard-limited at that CPU. Generally higher resolution and settings moves the bottleneck off of the CPU and more into the GPU, but only to a point before it hits a ceiling.
