NEW BF NEW HARDWARE

I am looking for a second opinion or honest feedback about purchasing a new gaming PC. Gemini send me here haha so let’s see how well Gemini understands the EA Forums!

Last year, I bought BF6. Not entirely unexpectedly, my current PC is 'struggling' with it and the experience is anything but enjoyable. My RTX 2080 Super has done its best all these years, but it’s time to give it a rest.

With my eyes on a new system and a new OLED screen, I can’t wait to unleash this game in all its glory. I initially wanted to buy a 4K screen for the PC, but that might not be wise, since it’s only for gaming. Chances are it will be a 2K OLED.

To keep this post from dragging on too long, I’ll get to the point: I would like to buy a system from FENN Systems, specifically the following system.  I’m not very knowledgeable about power supplies, motherboards, processors, etc. So when configured with an RTX 5080 I hope this will be a solid PC to run BF6 at 1440p consistently above 120 FPS. 

  1. I've been told BF6 is pretty RAM sensitive, should I try to configure it with 6400 or 6800MHz?
  2. Should I be worried about cooling the RAM?
  3. Is the 5080 a good choice for my target FPS?

In any case, thank you for reviewing my post.

  • Truly, I have a 3060, with intel i5 and 32 GB of ram. BF6 runs smoothly for me. Just letting you know if you want to keep it budget friendly. Good Luck....

    I have a 5080 with a R9 9950x3d on the Alienware 34in ultrawide OLED (3440x1440)

    On low,medium settings i usually stay around 190 fps

    I would get DDR 6000 speeds. Some AMD systems aren't stable above 6000. I'm sure with future BIOS updates that will be fixed but for now, 6000 speeds are plenty for gaming

  • My son tried to go against me with his pc a 2060 vs my xbox X...it didnt go too well for him. I said son your trying to compete with a 2000 series card vs a 3060TI that a console is on par with. Basically my Xbox is better and is more powerful than his pc. Why I tell people who are on this consoles are dominating pc. No they are not you just need to upgrade your hardware.

    I always used Alienware alot of people give me **bleep** for it but I take advantage of the upgrade turn in they offer. I always have a top of the line PC every year by trading in my old one for a new one. It dont cost me thousands of dollars either since they buy last year's model from me.

    Most manufacturers wont do that. Plus Alienware will get you unbanned if they sell you anything that gives you a ban. 

    He jumps on my pc and we go against each other vs my xbox and he gets me almost everytime. This is why I dont believe all that hype about consoles are out performing pc on bf6. Its simply not true.

    The pc players usually saying this are the ones who dont know how to adjust their settings.

    I've watched YouTube videos of guys hitting close to 1000fps...

    Im hitting about 500 plus but I have my graphics turned up little higher than they do.

    The difference between 1000 fps and 60 to 120 fps is very noticeable and im sure thats what these people are running into. When you add that plus the netcode issue and hit registration issues. Its obvious why.

    They buy these high end pcs but dont know how to use them.

    That new 500hz monitor is insane.

    The tower of my Alienware alone weighs 75lbs its a beast. Back in 2005 i spent 6k on my Alienware and I had the cops called me multiple times for being loud. I spent 2k on the surround sound alone.It was awesome. Since then I have had a top of the line Alienware every year and havent spent more than 1k on it.

    Just being able to trade it in every year was worth it.

    Why I always said consoles vs pc will just not work. 

    Its like drag racing a Chevette vs a Corvette. Battlefield cant even make matchmaking balanced they sure the hell cant balanced pc and console.
