Gamers often prioritize real-time performance metrics during gameplay. Monitoring frame rates in Battlefield 6 can help optimize your experience—here’s a guide to enabling this feature.
Enabling the frame rate overlay in Battlefield 6
Two methods exist for activating the frame rate display. The in-game approach involves these steps:
- Set it to “Simple”
- Select Performance Overlay
- Click Modify
- Go to the Advanced section
- Select the Graphics tab
- Click on the gear icon on the main menu screen.
Alternatively, use the command console by pressing the ` key. Input PerfOverlay.DrawFPS.1 to activate the counter, and PerfOverlay.Draw.FPS.0 to disable it. The updated overlay displays multiple metrics (CPU, GPU, etc.), with community speculation suggesting the lowest value reflects actual performance limits. Third-party tools might provide clearer insights until developers clarify.
Alternative monitoring solutions
Platforms like Steam offer built-in performance tracking. Navigate to Settings > In-Game > Performance Overlay to position and customize the display. MSI Afterburner remains popular for its customization options—enable the on-screen metric via Monitoring settings while avoiding advanced features unless experienced.
