BF6 poor performance

[JazzC8]

I have a B580, and i'm getting 40 -60 fps 1080p in multiplayer all settings low. 

System is as follows:

CPU: 5700X3D

RAM: 3600mhz CL16 32Gb

MOBO: MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G+ Gold

Storage: OS is on a 500gb Samsun 980 Pro PCie 4.0x4 NVMe

Game is installed on a  TEAMGROUP MP33 2 TB PCie 3.0x4 NVMe

GPU is pegged at 99%; if i use upscaling, still no change in fps. I also have noticed that the power is around 70w and will only go higher in the menus??? I checked the IGCC and did basic tuning to have the slider for power go max, same as temp. Temp never goes over 60c. CPU is never pegged out. I have used the Alt enter and it does seem to kinda work???. Start the game in windowed mode then Alt enter into full screen. 

Other things I have checked is the PCie link power state is off/max power (not power saving) Also checked the PCie reported by GPUz shows 4 x 8 lanes.

Hello JazzC8,

Thank you for posting on Intel Community Forum.

To assist you effectively, please share the information below.

1. Is the issue isolated to a specific game?

2. Is ReBar enabled?

3. Does the Alt+Enter workaround consistently improve performance, or just sometimes?

4. Have you tried the B580 in a different PCIe slot or different system?

Additionally, to have a better understanding of your system configuration and components please generate a complete copy of the System Support Utility (SSU) report. Please follow instructions here and send the report - How to get the Intel® System Support Utility Logs on Windows*

I look forward to your response.

Best regards

Only BF6, Rebar is enabled. Yes Alt enter seems to work consistently. I have not tried a different Pcie as the other ones are 3 x 16. Ill work on getting a SSU

1. GPU power limit or bugged driver profile

• You mentioned it only draws ~70 W and spikes higher in menus — that’s a big red flag.

  • A properly functioning B580 GPU (Intel Arc A580) should easily hit 175–185 W under load.

• Open Intel Arc Control → Performance → Telemetry and confirm:

  • Power limit slider = 100%

  • GPU utilization = 99%

  • GPU clocks = around 2200–2400 MHz under load

• If the clocks are much lower (like 1100–1500 MHz), it’s power or driver-related throttling.

2. Reinstall or clean the driver

• Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Safe Mode to remove all Intel GPU drivers.

• Then reinstall the latest Intel Arc driver (WHQL) directly from Intel’s website — not Windows Update.

3. Resizable BAR (ReBAR)

• Arc cards depend heavily on ReBAR.

  • Check in GPU-Z → Advanced → PCIe Resizable BAR — it must say Enabled.

  • If it’s “Disabled” or “Unsupported,” enable it in BIOS (Advanced → PCIe Settings → Resizable BAR → Enabled).

4. BIOS + chipset drivers

• Update to the latest MSI B550 Tomahawk BIOS (especially those with AGESA 1.2.0.x updates for ReBAR).

• Reinstall the latest AMD chipset drivers from AMD’s official page — not MSI’s.

5. Power mode in Windows

• Set to Ultimate Performance (or High Performance).

  • Run powercfg.cpl → select “Ultimate Performance.”

  • Disable Windows Game Mode just for testing.

6. Background apps

• Make sure Arc Control, MSI Center, or Afterburner aren’t fighting each other. Close everything except the game.

7. Test in another game

• Run something like 3DMark Time Spy or a consistent benchmark (Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Horizon 5).

  • If power usage is still stuck ~70 W and FPS scales poorly → definite GPU issue.

As I mentioned in the first comment, I have the power slider for the gpu set to 100 same as temp. The clocks are higher then 2400. I have tried it in default tuning and my custum tuning at 3.2. I have performed a DDU and rebar is enabled. chipset is updated and bios is only 3 versions back. It has 1.2 agesa. I leave the windows power mode on balanced as recommended by AMD for X3D cpus, I instead have maximum performance selected in the GPU preference selection in the graphics settings in windows for applications. I have seen other Arc users commenting that their have the same issue and the alt enter is what they have been using. So Ive accepted that its a intel driver issue with the game.
