Choosing the best settings in Battlefield 6 is crucial for a smoother experience. The graphic settings control how the game looks and how it renders on your hardware. The gameplay setting affects how the game plays, like controls, input, aiming, etc. The general settings affect the game globally rather than just visuals or gameplay. Many of the settings are nested quite deeply on the PC.
