Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is only two weeks away from release. The latest Black Ops will launch worldwide on both current and next-gen consoles on November 13. However, as usual, the game will look best on PC. Developer Treyarch recently released a trailer where they showed off all the cool options that will be available exclusively for PC gamers.
If your PC can handle it, then you can play Black Ops Cold War with 4K graphics. Cold War has no cap on FPS, so if you can push FPS to triple digits then you are welcomed to do it. Lots of cool new tech will be available as well, including RTX Shadows, DLSS, Reflex Technology, Ultrawide and Multimonitor support, and more.
Treyarch was also kind enough to reveal the system requirements for PC. Thankfully, they have mentioned five different types of system requirements, depending on the settings you are aiming for. You can check them below and on the official site.
