Not really :(

The BF2 Engine uses 1 core only so the higher frequency it is, the better it performs as the game uses a lot of juice from the CPU.

Also, this game doesn't do well on integrated graphics card so make sure you have a dedicated one.

The PR Manual will give you a better idea:

What is your specs?

You need to upgrade video card. Refer to my Guide for info. :)

Rest of your system is ok.

Yes, really. Doesn't matter who/what brand or generation - an IGP cannot compare to a dedicated GPU

I must try the wifes Ryzen 3400G PC one day as its iGPU is called a Vega 11 and it manages most games.

I'm using Ryzen 5 2500U with the included Vega 8 and manages PR on 1080p high just fine. I underclocked the Vega 8 to 400MHz and the game still runs okay. If PR is all that you play, modern iGPU is all you need tbh as long as you have dual channel memory with okay datarate (preferably 3000MT/s or more for desktop) and similarly clocked infinity fabric.
