Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 arrives next week, and Activision has revealed all the details regarding PC features, hardware requirements, and more. Here is everything you need to know to prepare for playing this year’s new Call of Duty on PC.
The latest blog from Activision highlights some of the major features players can expect when playing Black Ops 6 on PC. The game boasts AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3, which is said to provide faster and more responsive frame rates by using super resolution temporal upscaling and advanced frame generation.
PC players will also be able to toggle on the FSR Frame Generation graphic setting, which allows them to enable frame generation to significantly increase their framerate. Activision says this setting also works seamlessly with other upscaling solutions.
Spec-wise, the publisher recommends running Black Ops 6 with an AMD Ryzen 5 1600X or Intel Core i7-6700K CPU with at least 12 GB of RAM. Video card recommendations include AMD Radeon RX 6600XT or NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 1080Ti / RTX 3060 cards.
However, the minimum specs seem to be pretty modest, with only an AMD Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-6600 needed with at least 8 GB of RAM. Video cards can be the AMD Radeon RX 470, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, or Intel Arc A580.
