This has been bothering me for some time and after doing a research I can confirm this is indeed an issue currently in the game. I can maintain high framerates with 9800X3D and rtx 5090 but the game does not feel smooth and mouse raw input does not help, often there are spikes in frame times and mouse feels glitchy/floaty.
My monitor is set up as per blurbusters guide, control panel for nvidia:
Low latency Ultra
maximum power
GSYNC
VSYNC ON
Frame rate uncapped
In game you put VSYNC OFF and turn on REFLEX. I do not use any DLSS upscaling or framegen, both are off and i use only DLAA with 35% sharpness @ 3440x1440 ultrawide
This in most games locks the fps approx -3-5% below monitor refresh rate, in my case it locks @ 225 fps on 240 HZ GSYNC monitor and i dont need to cap frames ,it is done automatically and works flawlessly in most FPS games like overwatch, Valorant, CS2 etc.
What happens in BF6 is in borderless mode this does not work at all and mouse feels floaty, also frame times are higher and inconsistent, Setting fullscreen kind of eliminates the issue but the root cause of the problem remains = When you open Steam overlay to display FPS, it will show "200 FPS" if i cap fps to 200, or 240" fps if uncapped, does not go to 225 as it should.
What is even more concerning is that the steam overlay often switches between display value + FPS and value + FG.
FG stands for framegen, and is displayed only when framegen is enabled, but in my case it is turned OFF.
This ultimately means BF6 often kicks in some built-in FrameGen when FPS dips below a certain threshold and it keeps switching. Everytime the occus (every few seconds basically) you can see FPS change to FG and back, everytime the input latency goes to 30ms and back to 5-15ms, this creates the weird mouse floating feel and often gets you killed.
I have seen EA forums and reddit posts confirming the same for various users with various setups.
This seriously needs to be addressed soon as it is quite gamebreaking for a lot of people.
Thanks for reading, have you experienced the same?
