Activision and Treyarch have revealed multiple PC specs for the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Usually when PC specifications are released you’d get the typical “Minimum Requirements” and the “Recommended Requirements”.

However we have a variety of specifications to accommodate the type of gaming experience that you’re after.
The requirements include Minimum, Recommended, Recommended with Ray-Tracing enabled, Competitive and Ultra RTX.

Whichever way you choose to set-up, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will require a high-quality gaming PC because let’s be honest, most of us don’t game on PC to hit the Minimum requirements.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has been co-developed by Beenox and Treyarch to offer the ultimate experience in true 4K fidelity and an ultra-smooth uncapped frame-rate.
Those that use the almighty Nvidia GeForce RTX will be able to experience ultra-realistic shadow effects, Ambient Occlusion and much more.
With Nvidia DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and Reflex Technology artificial intelligence will be taken to the next level by rendering real-time AI to bring sharp, hi-fidelity images.
Gamers will also be able to choose between three available options to fine-tune their experience such as Quality, Balanced and Performance.
One of the benefits of having the ultimate PC gaming set-up is the Ultra-Wide and Multi-Monitor Support and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will be no exception.
Finally as with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)/Warzone players can experience cross-play across PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
Though with recent reports of console gamers turning-off cross-play during the Black Ops Cold War beta, PC gamers might not find cross-play as easy to come-by until a fix is made.
Below you can find all the juicy PC specification requirements for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The game will release for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S from November 13th.
