Battlefield 6

[DaktariT]

Is there anyone on here playing Battlefield 6?

I'd love to be, but the TPM 2.0 and secure boot requirements are kicking my arse. My PC build is very old and very in need of upgrading, and my motherboard simply doesn't have those options in the BIOS.

PC Builds are a financial commitment. I'm dreading upgrading mine. There's been a few games I'd love to play this year but my GPU hasn't been up to it. I don't want to get a fancy GPU because my CPU won't keep up. Spent 1400 on it in 2018 so I've had a good run I guess. Back then a bottom of the barrel budget GPU was £150, now it's £300.
What's annoying (and always has been) is the motherboard socket changing. I am on AMD AM4, AM5 was released in 2022 and they're expecting a new socket change next year.

So I don't want to upgraded now (not like I can reasonably afford it anyway) to AM5 and spend on some new ram and cpu for it to be obsolete in no time, but at the same time I don't buy on release, it's too expensive, so I'll be waiting until 27/28 before doing anything.

Yep, that's why I haven't upgraded either. Old socket means I basically need to do a complete rebuild, but I've had other priorities and those priorities are still present (car, airsoft builds, saving for a mortgage). I'll probably look at doing an upgrade in '26, unless a new socket releases then I might push it back to get the new socket in without paying through the nose for it.

I have the same issue with most games, my rig is 11 yrs old and already been upgraded but the few games I play these days are on the lowest settings or will freeze midgame. I got an Xbox a while ago so I could play with decent settings but never got the hang of a dual keyboard & mouse for my PC & Xbox.

Been looking at getting BF6 for the Xbox but need a dedicated keyboard & mouse for it.
