Call of Duty Black Ops 6 requirements have clearly shown that the game I didn’t mean to be too demandingand that this game will run relatively well even on a relatively old PC. It’s logical, because after all, it’s a game that also made it to the PS4 and Xbox One, i.e. the previous generation consoles, which have long-outdated hardware.

The first performance tests confirm this, Call of Duty Black Ops 6 can work even with less powerful integrated GPUs from generations before the RDNA architecture and plays quite well even with older graphics cards, such as the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, which was released in 2015 and is able to move this game in 1080p with a maximum quality of 31 FPS on average.

Play Call of Duty Black Ops 6 with an average speed of 31 FPS it’s not idealso if we have a GeForce GTX 980 Ti or an equivalent model, we should reduce the graphics quality and use rescaling to try to improve performance and get closer to an average of 60 FPS. With high average quality and scaling, we should have no problem achieving this average performance.

In 1080p to achieve 60 FPS with maximum quality without scaling we will need a GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER or equivalent (GeForce RTX 3060 Ti). At 1440p we will have to have a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti or equivalent (Radeon RX 6800) and in 4K we only achieve 60 FPS on average from Radeon RX 7900 XTX or GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. If you have questions about graphics card equivalence, please refer to this guide.

This performance data reveals something very interesting. Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is an affordable game that also runs on an integrated GPU, as I said above, but it becomes very demanding as the graphics quality and resolution settings increase, as seen in the attached graphs.

It seems to be caused by a clear lack of optimizationbecause on a graphical level the game is nothing revolutionary, in fact it clearly shows those flaws and problems typical of a game designed to run on an old generation of consoles, such as low-quality textures, bad geometry in many elements and empty scenarios and lacking in details.

This should be the last installment of the Call of Duty franchise to come to PS4 and Xbox One. Unless there are surprises, the next game in the saga will be exclusive to the current generation of consoles and PC, which should be reflected in the games as well. jump to a the most advanced graphics engine achieve a much better technical performance and can also enable better optimization.
