Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has arrived with substantial PC optimization features and ray tracing support, according to performance benchmarks from the latest installment in the franchise. The game offers extensive graphics customization through its upgraded IW 9.0 engine, with support for multiple upscaling technologies, including NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XeSS. Testing on various graphics cards revealed that achieving 60 FPS at 4K resolution without ray tracing requires at least an RTX 4060 Ti or RX 9060 XT, while ray tracing enabled demands significantly more powerful hardware.
The benchmarks showed that AMD's RX 9070 XT performed competitively against the RTX 5080, particularly at lower resolutions. Ray tracing reflections proved extremely demanding, reducing frame rates by nearly three times compared to standard settings. The game introduced AMD's Ray Regeneration technology, which competes with NVIDIA's Ray Reconstruction while maintaining minimal performance impact.
However, the campaign mode faces criticism for requiring constant online connectivity, lacking checkpoints, and featuring activity timeouts that reviewers considered inappropriate for single-player experiences.
