Black Ops 7 PC system requirements revealed: from old rigs to true 4K

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 now has official PC system requirements—and they’re kinder than expected. Activision and Treyarch say the shooter will run even on decade-old rigs, though max settings and true 4K still call for a powerful setup.

At the minimum, you’re looking at a Radeon RX 570, GeForce GTX 970, or Intel Arc A580, an Intel Core i5-6600 or Ryzen 5 1400, plus 8 GB of RAM and over 100 GB of free storage. For 4K play, the bar jumps to a Ryzen 5 5600X/Core i7-10700K, an RTX 4080/RX 9070, and 16 GB of memory. Owners of Intel Arc cards are advised to enable Resizable BAR. It’s a generous baseline for a tentpole FPS and should keep older PCs in the mix.

As in the beta, the game requires TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and a kernel-level anti-cheat system. The developers also point to optimization for Windows handhelds, with improved UI scaling and reduced power consumption—a practical touch for portable play.

The game further supports ultrawide monitors, FSR 4.0, frame generation, and Corsair iCue RGB integration. Preload starts on November 10 at 09:00 PT, and it arrives in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on day one—a convenient win for subscribers.
