This guide will go a bit in-depth to ensure you’re able to get the most of the performance but your visuals might suffer.
 
 

Quick note

My specs is DONKEY compared to the minimum requirements yet I am hitting decent 40-50 fps using low settings and the following tricks.
 
 

i5-6400 2.70Ghz (Overclocked to 3.09)
GTX 960 4gb VRAM
16gb ram 2667 mHz DDR4
Game installed on SSD 240gb
2560x1440 Main monitor

 
I’m only idle in the menu…
 
 

 
I would recommend getting the software “Timer Resolution”, basically a placebo in some circumstances but a 0.1% can do a difference.
 
 
 

In-game settings

All of these settings you will find within the menu. It’s bold to assume you haven’t assigned them to this.
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
 

Windows & Nvidia settings

Sorry, I do not have any specific advice for AMD users. 🙁
 
 
If you are using Shadowplay from Geforce Experience, turn it off. It may cause lag on lower end computers.
 
 

 
 

 
 
Go either with balanced or high performance. It’s up to you to choose the decision as it will use more power.
 
 
 

Battlefield 2042 config settings

The file PROFSAVE_profile is located in:
 
 
\Documents\Battlefield 2042 Open Beta\settings
 

It will look something like this

 
 

 
Don’t copy it 1:1
 
 
Open the file in notepad++, Visual Studio, etc or in normal notepad.
 
 
Change the following values to 0 (if they aren’t 0 already)
 
 

GstRender.AmbientOcclusion 
GstRender.AnisotropicFilter 
GstRender.AntiAliasingDeferred 
GstRender.AntiAliasingPost 
GstRender.Enlighten 
GstRender.FilmGrain 
GstRender.HighDynamicRange 
GstRender.HighDynamicRangeMode 
GstRender.LensDistortion 
GstRender.LightingQuality 
GstRender.MeshQuality 
GstRender.MotionBlur
GstRender.MotionBlurEnabled 
GstRender.PostProcessQuality 
GstRender.ShaderQuality 
GstRender.ShadowQuality 
GstRender.SignificanceQuality 
GstRender.Stereoscopy 
GstRender.TerrainQuality 
GstRender.TextureFiltering 
GstRender.TextureQuality 
GstRender.TransparentShadows 
GstRender.UndergrowthQuality 
GstRender.VSyncEnabled 
GstRender.Vignette 
GstRender.WeaponDOF

 
 
 

In-game console

Put the following into the command console (It should open using the button left from “1” on your keyboard)
 
 

PostProcess.DofMethod None
Render.renderresolution 0.9 (Can be changed down to any number from 1 to 0.1 if required)

 
 

PostProcess.DofMethod Circular (Default)

 
 

 

PostProcess.DofMethod None (Off)

 
 

 
For some reason BF2042 still has some Depth of Field even if disabled.
