Defying anti-cheat, creator gets Battlefield 6 running on 12-year-old AMD FX-9590 CPU, playable at 40+ FPS in 786p with an RX 5700 GPU — experiment reveals only SecureBoot, not TPM, is necessary for Javelin anti-cheat

Battlefield 6 launched a month ago on console and PC to rave reviews, becoming a commercial hit. While the community has expressed anything but positive feedback for the FPS, one area where BF6 wasn’t the most well-received was its implementation of the Javelin anti-cheat, which requires TPM and Secure Boot… or so we thought. In a new video by Fully Buffered, Battlefield 6 is shown running on an almost ancient FX-9590 CPU from AMD’s Bulldozer era, over a decade ago, which didn’t have TPM enabled.
