Can I Run Battlefield 1?
Released in 2020, Battlefield 1 is an action massively multiplayer game built by DICE. Publishing duties went to Electronic Arts. The game supports a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. Completionists have 50 achievements to work through. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Being 6 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. It is localised into 13 languages according to the store listing. With more than 197 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented.

Setting and environment
Battlefield 1 places its action in a wartime setting, and the player works through combat arenas. It is played from a first person view. There are 9 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Battlefield 1 is demanding
The ask Battlefield 1 makes is moderate. Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon RX 480 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Disk footprint is light, near 50 GB. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Battlefield 1 needs 64 bit Windows. Battlefield 1 names just 4 GB of video memory, so the bottleneck sits in raw GPU throughput rather than VRAM.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Battlefield 1?
Battlefield 1 targets a mainstream modern PC: Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon™ HD 7850 2GB Graphics card (NVIDIA): NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 660 2GB and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon™ RX 480 4GB Graphics card (NVIDIA): NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 1060 3GB for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.7x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 0.96x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.43x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Battlefield 1's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
