Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 System Requirements

Black Ops 7 has published PC requirements, so there is no guessing here. The part players actually miss is TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, which can block the game even on a PC with a strong GPU.

Bottom line

Minimum needs a Ryzen 5 1400 or Core i5-6600, 8 GB RAM, and a GTX 970-class GPU. Recommended steps up to a Ryzen 5 1600X or Core i7-6700K, 12 GB RAM, and an RTX 3060-class GPU for 60 FPS at high settings. TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot must be enabled regardless of your hardware tier.

Stop guessing from spec lists. Run the 60-second check and see exactly where your setup lands, then fix one thing.

What to do next

Check TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot first

Confirm both are enabled in BIOS before assuming a low FPS result means your GPU is too weak.

Compare against minimum, not recommended

A PC that clears minimum can still run the game. Recommended is for a comfortable 60 FPS at high settings.

Minimum requirements

The floor to launch the game at all, not a comfortable experience.

  • CPU: Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-6600.
  • RAM: 8 GB.
  • GPU: Radeon RX 470, GeForce GTX 970, GTX 1060, or Intel Arc A580.
  • Storage: 116 GB SSD space.

Recommended requirements for 60 FPS at high settings

This is the tier Activision points to for a steady 60 FPS experience at high settings.

  • CPU: Ryzen 5 1600X or Intel Core i7-6700K.
  • RAM: 12 GB.
  • GPU: Radeon RX 6600 XT, GeForce RTX 3060, or Intel Arc B580.

4K tier

The top published tier, aimed at 4K play rather than 1080p or 1440p.

  • CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel Core i7-10700K.
  • RAM: 16 GB.
  • GPU: Radeon RX 9070 XT, GeForce RTX 4080, or RTX 5070.

TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot

This is a hard requirement, not a suggestion. The game will not launch without it, no matter how strong the rest of the PC is.

  • TPM 2.0 must be enabled in BIOS or UEFI settings.
  • Secure Boot must be enabled alongside it.
  • Only AMD and Intel CPUs with AVX support are supported.
  • Intel Arc GPUs also need Resizable BAR enabled.

What to do before installing

A few checks up front save a wasted download.

  • Confirm TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot in BIOS before starting the install.
  • Check free disk space against the 116 GB minimum figure.
  • Update GPU drivers before first launch.
