Activision has published the full PC specifications for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, spanning minimum play, a 60 FPS “Recommended” tier, and a Competitive/4K Ultra target. At the floor, the game calls for Windows 10 (64-bit), Core i5-6600 or Ryzen 5 1400, 8 GB RAM, and a GeForce GTX 970/1060, a Radeon RX 470, or an Intel Arc A580 with 3 GB VRAM.
The Recommended lane bumps the OS to Windows 11 (64-bit) and aims for 60 FPS “in most situations.” You’re looking at Core i7-6700K or Ryzen 5 1600X, 12 GB RAM, and a GeForce RTX 3060, a Radeon RX 6600 XT, or an Intel Arc B580 with 8 GB VRAM.
For players chasing high-refresh or 4K/Ultra, Activision lists Core i7-10700K or Ryzen 5 5600X, 16 GB RAM, and heavyweight GPUs: the GeForce RTX 4080/5070 or Radeon RX 9070 XT, backed by 16 GB VRAM. Across all configurations, you’ll need 115 GB of installation space on an SSD. The notes add the usual modern PC caveats – DirectX 12, Resizable BAR for Intel Arc, and AVX-capable Intel/AMD CPUs only – though you’ll also need TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled.
The chart also includes a “PC Handheld” column, positioned as an optimization profile rather than a hard spec—promising that Black Ops 7 runs on most Windows handhelds, with scaled UI for smaller screens and power/battery tuning for on-the-go play. The footnotes still peg 115 GB for Black Ops 7 alone with Warzone requiring additional space.
Bottom line: The CPU/RAM asks are modest, but VRAM is the real gatekeeper. Plan on 8-16 GB of GPU memory if you want to move past “just runs” into 60 FPS/4K territory. If you’re on older 3-6 GB cards, expect to trade texture quality and headroom to keep frame times clean.
