PC requirements for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War were released back when the game was still in beta, but those were pretty basic, with the “Recommended” specs only giving you 1080p. What if you really want to push the game? Well, NVIDIA has released some new PC requirements, with specs for running Cold War at 1080p and 4K with ray tracing, as well as a “Competitive” 1080p 144fps mode.
Now, these are NVIDIA-specific specs, so no AMD GPUs are listed (again, you can get the basic requirements here), but they’re still interesting for those looking for a high-level RTX-powered experience when playing Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Check the requirements out, below.
