CoD Black Ops 6 system requirements

If you're jumping into this Call of Duty game for the single-player campaign, multiplayer, or Zombies, the hardware you need in your gaming PC doesn't need to be all that powerful to meet the Black Ops 6 system requirements. Thankfully, older gaming PCs and laptops stand a chance with Black Ops 6, although you might want to set some storage space aside for the game's considerable download size.

You won't need the best graphics card to run Black Ops 6, but that story changes when you take the game's considerable Ultra requirements into account. If you want to check out the best Black Ops 6 settings, we have a helpful guide to get you the best performance possible.

Here are the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 system requirements for PC:

The CoD Black Ops 6 minimum requirements, as expected, aren't all that demanding at the lower end of the scale, only requiring a nearly decade-old Nvidia GTX graphics card to push the pixels. You will also need an Intel Core i5 6600 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400 CPU at least, but both processors are of similar ages to the GTX 960, and prove no challenge to most older PCs or laptops. You don't even need much RAM, with Black Ops 6 only needing 8GB to run.

Looking toward the CoD Black Ops 6 recommended specs, there isn't a substantial jump. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti or AMD Radeon RX 6600XT is all you need to meet the recommended specs. As for your CPU, you'll need an Intel Core i7 6700K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, along with 12GB of RAM.

The CoD Black Ops 6 ultra specs are another small jump from the previous band, and promise a high frame rate on a 4K monitor. You'll need an RTX 4070, RTX 3080, or Radeon RX 6800XT alongside an Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. The RAM requirement also increases to 16GB, but that's to be expected for a modern shooter on the ultra graphics preset.

The CoD Black Ops 6 download size is only 102GB of SSD space. Sadly, this is where older rigs may need to upgrade to one of the best SSD picks from our buying guide, as an SSD is a hard requirement of Black Ops 6. An SSD is crucial not only for reducing loading times but also for getting the massive file installed quickly. Alongside the chunky initial download, the frequent large updates associated with the annual Call of Duty releases can also be taken care of more quickly on a good SSD.
