BF6 unplayable in matches – Threadripper 3970X / RTX 3060 Ti
I’m honestly stumped. The game runs perfectly in the menus and lobby — smooth, no lag, GPU usage looks normal — but the second I load into an actual match, everything falls apart. FPS drops, stuttering everywhere, GPU sits around 40%, and it just feels awful to play.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:
- Changed CPU priority class (High, Realtime, Normal) — no change
- Limited CPU cores/threads via affinity (disabled certain pins) — no improvement
- Checked GPU/CPU usage — neither one maxes out
- Disabled VSync and any FPS cap — still stuck around 60 FPS
- Toggled Screen Space AO and Global Illumination (GTAO / SSGI) between Low and High
- Swapped between every graphics preset (Low → Ultra) — barely affects performance
- Updated NVIDIA drivers + Windows 11
- Checked temps and background apps — all normal
- Task Manager minimizes the game when opened, so hard to track live usage
- Found others with similar setups having the same issue
My specs:
- AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X (32-core)
- RTX 3060 Ti
- 64 GB RAM
- Windows 11
- Latest NVIDIA drivers
