Scaling works, but there’s a priceīattlefield 1 offers a resolution scale mode, which allows you to tweak the rendered resolution while still running at native resolution for your panel. That means each reported framerate is averaged from three pieces of that mission – defending on foot, defending from a turret, and manning a tank gun as it progresses across the battlefield.

We tested our framerates across the handful of vignettes that make up the introductory mission. We turned it off so that it wouldn’t interfere with our consistency. If your card’s performance doesn’t quite match its graphical memory, there’s an option to automatically reduce some settings to keep that from happening. In our case, 4GB seemed to be more than enough even for the ultra-quality setting. There’s also the issue of graphical memory, which mostly affects the maximum texture quality, and shouldn’t hold back performance if the textures don’t fill that memory. We’re also running in DirectX 11 mode, as we think most gamers will. Vertical sync was turned off, to ensure the framerates weren’t capped, regardless of quality. There are a few settings we held consistent throughout our benchmarking. Though the gains are high, the effects are detrimental. You can lower resolution scale, but be warned.
