Delta Force is back as a F2P competitive shooter on PC with 32v32 PvP combat featuring vehicles, gadgets, and other unique equipment. A day after its release on Steam, the game hit a peak concurrent player count of 102K despite still being in beta mode. The game’s multiplayer component leverages the Unreal Engine 4, and we examined its performance in detail in our optimization guide. This post looks at Delta Force’s performance on budget 60-class GPUs, including the RTX 3060 and the RTX 4060.
Windows/System Settings to Optimize
- Enable Resizable BAR.
- Turn on Game Mode.
- Enable Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) and Windowed Optimizations.
- Use the Windows “High Performance” power profile and set your GPU power management mode to the same.
- Disable Memory Integrity. Windows Menu->VBS->Device Security.
- Ensure you use the proper XMP/EXPO memory profile (if available).
- Overclock your GPU if you’re narrowly missing the 60 FPS mark.
- Here’s a guide with more detailed instructions.

Motherboard | CPU | GPU | Memory |
---|---|---|---|
GIGABYTE B450M DS3H WIFI ($84) | AMD Ryzen 5 5600 ($116) | NVIDIA RTX 4060 8 GB ($289) NVIDIA RTX 3060 12 GB ($269) AMD Radeon RX 6600 ($200) | 8GB x2 D4 ($40) |
Delta Force: Low-end PC Benchmarks
Delta Force scales well on budget hardware. A mix of high, ultra, and ultimate graphics settings yielded an average framerate of 143 FPS on the GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB at 1080p. The same settings produced 124 FPS on the Alienware x14, featuring the RTX 4060 laptop GPU and the Core i7-13620H.
QHD or 1440p is also feasible if you drop to “Performance” upscaling mode for about 90-100 FPS. Unless you have a quad-core processor, you should be mostly limited on the GPU side.
VRAM Usage & CPU Bottlenecks
Delta Force is mildly CPU-bound on midrange hex-core parts like the Ryzen 5 5600 and the Core i5-12400/13400. Mobility processors fare worse, with the Core i7-13620H producing a GPU-Busy deviation of 22% at 1080p.
Delta Force proficiently uses graphics memory, consuming just over 6 GB at 1080p “Ultra” and 7 GB at 1440p with upscaling. Ergo, you should be good even with a 6 GB graphics card.
