This guide will go a bit in-depth to ensure you’re able to get the most of the performance but your visuals might suffer.
Quick note

My specs is DONKEY compared to the minimum requirements yet I am hitting decent 40-50 fps using low settings and the following tricks.
i5-6400 2.70Ghz (Overclocked to 3.09)
GTX 960 4gb VRAM
16gb ram 2667 mHz DDR4
Game installed on SSD 240gb
2560×1440 Main monitor
I’m only idle in the menu…
I would recommend getting the software “Timer Resolution”, basically a placebo in some circumstances but a 0.1% can do a difference.
In-game settings
All of these settings you will find within the menu. It’s bold to assume you haven’t assigned them to this.
Windows & Nvidia settings
Sorry, I do not have any specific advice for AMD users. 🙁
If you are using Shadowplay from Geforce Experience, turn it off. It may cause lag on lower end computers.
Go either with balanced or high performance. It’s up to you to choose the decision as it will use more power.

The file PROFSAVE_profile is located in:

Put the following into the command console (It should open using the button left from “1” on your keyboard)
PostProcess.DofMethod None
Render.renderresolution 0.9 (Can be changed down to any number from 1 to 0.1 if required)
PostProcess.DofMethod Circular (Default)

For some reason BF2042 still has some Depth of Field even if disabled.
