Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 PC Requirements Revealed – Can Your Rig Handle It?

The countdown is officially on, gamers. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 drops on November 14th, and Activision just unleashed the full PC system requirements that’ll determine whether you’re dominating the battlefield or drowning in frame drops. Whether you’re rocking budget hardware or a beast of a gaming PC, here’s everything you need to know before launch day.

Minimum Specs: Entry-Level Gaming

Don’t panic if you’re not running top-tier hardware. The barrier to entry is surprisingly reasonable. You’ll need at least a 1st gen AMD Ryzen 5 or 6th Gen Intel Core i5, paired with 8GB of RAM and a Radeon RX 470, GeForce GTX 970, or Intel Arc A580.

Here’s the kicker though – you absolutely need an SSD and a whopping 116GB of free space. That storage requirement will likely balloon as post-launch content drops, so factor that into your planning.

Recommended & Ultra Specs: Where Performance Gets Serious

Want buttery-smooth 60FPS gameplay on high settings? Activision recommends bumping up to a Ryzen 5 1600X or Intel Core i7-6700K, 12GB RAM, and either an RX 6600XT, RTX 3060, or Intel Arc B580 with 8GB VRAM.

But if you’re chasing competitive advantage with high refresh rates or stunning 4K visuals, you’ll need serious firepower: a Ryzen 5 5600X or i7-10700K, 16GB RAM, and graphics cards like the RX 9070XT, RTX 4080, or the latest RTX 5070 with 16GB VRAM.

The Bottom Line

If you crushed the beta without performance issues, you’re golden for launch. These requirements mirror what we saw during testing, so there shouldn’t be any nasty surprises when servers go live next week.

Pro tip: Start clearing that SSD space now – 116GB is just the beginning.
