Call of Duty Cold War Final System Requirements on PC

There are only two weeks left before the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War, this year's installment of the popular FPS series by Activision. The devs decided that it is high time to reveal the final system requirements of the PC version.

Minimum system requirements of Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War for PC:

1. CPU: Intel Core i3-4340 or AMD FX-6300
2. RAM: 8 GB
3. GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 / GTX 1650 or AMD Radeon HD 7950
4. DirectX: 12
5. HDD space: 175 GB (full game with all modes) / 50 GB (multiplayer only)
6. OS: Windows 7 (SP1) or 10 (v.1803 or higher) 64-bit

Recommended requirements (60 FPS in most situations):

1. CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
2. RAM: 12 GB
3. GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 / GTX 1660 Super or AMD Radeon R9 390 / RX 580
4. DirectX: 12
5. HDD space: 175 GB
6. OS: Windows 10 64-bit with latest update

Ray Tracing Requirements

1. CPU: Intel i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 1800X
2. RAM: 16 GB
3. GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070
4. DirectX: 12
5. HDD space: 175 GB

Requirements for pro-class online competition (maxed out FPSs on monitors with high refresh rate)

1. CPU: Intel i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 1800X
2. RAM: 16 GB
3. GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 / RTX 3070 or Radeon RX Vega64
4. DirectX: 12
5. HDD space: 175 GB
6. OS: Windows 10 64-bit with latest update

Ultra RTX requirements (ray tracing in 4K with high FPS)

3. Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080

It is worth noting that the required 175 GB of storage is only for the game at the time of release. Subsequent updates will consume further gigabytes on our HDD/SDD. The fact that 250 GB is given for the Ultra RTX option is most likely due to the use of 4K textures.

The developers have also released a trailer boasting the features of the PC version, posted above.

The PC edition is designed to allow for the configuration of over 200 game elements, from controls to graphics. The game will enable us to play in 4K and will have no fps cap. We will be able to enable ray tracing on GeForce RTX cards.

There will also be support for ultra-wide monitors and DLSS, as well as Nvidia Reflex (a system that reduces control delays). In addition, the game will offer cross-play on the day of its release, allowing owners of different platforms to have fun together.

Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War will debut on November 13 on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4 and PS5.
