EA's current table is labeled for DirectX 12 and requires Feature Level 12_0 at minimum.

The recommended tier's smooth 60 FPS statement does not establish 144 or 240 FPS in every map, fight, or legend composition.

Can my PC run it?

Check the whole requirement, not one part

  1. Open Windows System Information and note your exact CPU, installed RAM, and OS.
  2. Open Task Manager or your GPU control panel and note the exact GPU and dedicated VRAM.
  3. Confirm free storage, required graphics API support, and any platform-specific security requirement.
  4. Compare every field with one official tier. A stronger GPU does not compensate for an unsupported OS or CPU instruction set.
  5. After compatibility is confirmed, use the FPS Calculator for a supported GPU-side performance reference.

Read the tiers correctly

Requirements are not an FPS guarantee

Meeting the recommended list gives an official 60 FPS-oriented baseline, while high-refresh goals need a separate performance check.

Dynamic resolution, final circles, smoke, capture software, and CPU load are outside the current GamePerfHub model.
