Testing with the GeForce RTX 5070 reveals that NVIDIA DLSS 4 enhances Battlefield 6 multiplayer performance significantly, yet increases latency in the campaign mode.
Multiplayer Performance Results
In the multiplayer mode, using DLSS Quality settings increased the average frame rate from 77fps to 95fps, with a noticeable reduction in system latency from 31ms to 27ms. Employing DLSS Quality with Multi-Frame Generation boosted the frame rate dramatically to 330fps, although it increased latency to 40ms. Despite the latency rise, this setup offered substantial improvements, proving beneficial for multiplayer.
Campaign Mode Findings
The campaign segment, particularly the demanding vehicle combat section, showed mixed results. While DLSS Quality improved the frame rate from 88fps to 92fps and reduced latency from 32ms to 28ms, incorporating Multi-Frame Generation raised the frame rate to 143fps but significantly increased latency to 84ms, causing noticeable input delay, such as between mouse clicks and gun firing.
Lowering graphics settings to Medium did not significantly affect performance in this challenging section, suggesting that until multi-frame generation latency is addressed, it might undermine the campaign's playability despite higher frame rates.
