Best Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 settings for high-end GPUs

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is out on PC, bringing improved visuals and gameplay mechanics to the franchise's latest installment. The game is quite modest in terms of the hardware demands, allowing even mid-powered setups to run the game at higher settings and resolutions. As a result, gamers with high-end GPUs should have absolutely no issue running the game at higher settings.

However, having the right settings will help make sure you get an optimized gaming experience without any performance drops or stutters. This guide looks into the best Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 settings for high-end setups.

The best settings for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on high-end GPUs

Call of Duty: Black Ops requires at least 6-8 GB of VRAM to run at moderate settings. Thus, any card with 8 GB or more VRAM fits the category of a high-end GPU. Nvidia cards such as RTX 3080, 4070, 5060, 5070, and all other 80 and 90-class GPUs fall under this category.

From AMD, this includes cards such as RX 6700 XT, 6800 XT, 7600 XT, 7700 XT, RX 7900 XT, and newer cards, like the RX 9070. Intel GPUs, like the Arc B570 and B580, are also fitting choices.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 runs at over 100 FPS with the display resolution set to 1080p on most high-end GPUs. Thus, if you have a QHD or UHD monitor, you can enable 1440p or 4K resolution without worrying about performance drops, as long as your GPU is powerful enough.

We've enabled a mixed graphics preset featuring Ultra and High graphics for the best visual experience. This helps produce great quality textures and reflections, offering a realistic campaign and multiplayer experience.

While DLSS provides a far better performance boost, we recommend using DLAA for the best quality. The quality difference is more noticeable at higher resolutions. You should get around 70-80 FPS with just DLAA, and upwards of 120-130 FPS when paired with Frame Generation. For AMD users, FSR 3 would be the best bet, but enabling Frame Gen can get you 100+ FPS gameplay.
