Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Settings for 144 FPS on Low-end PC: RTX 3060, RTX 4060 & RX 6600

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is out on PC and consoles. For the first time, the FPS is available on the Xbox Game Pass from Day 1, costing $70 on other platforms. We’ve benchmarked and analyzed the game’s performance; our optimized settings are live. This is our mini-guide for low-end PCs, most notably for 60-class GPUs, aimed at getting over 100 FPS at 1080p.

Windows/System Settings to Optimize

• Enable Resizable BAR.
• Turn on Game Mode.
• Enable Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) and Windowed Optimizations.
• Use the Windows “High Performance” power profile and set your GPU power management mode to the same.
• Disable Memory Integrity. Windows Menu->VBS->Device Security.
• Ensure you use the proper XMP/EXPO memory profile (if available).
• Overclock your GPU if you’re narrowly missing the 60 FPS mark.
• Here’s a guide with more detailed instructions.

Black Ops 6: Low-end Benchmarks

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 performs well on budget and low-end hardware. Our optimized settings produced an average framerate of 110 FPS on the GeForce RTX 3060 at 1080p. This mainly involves reducing the “Shader Quality,” reducing the local texture streaming quality, and setting upscaling to “Balanced.”

The same settings resulted in an average of 79 FPS at 1440p with 1% lows of 60.5 FPS. Consequently. most competitive players on budget hardware should stick to 1080p for a fluid experience.

If you’re playing the campaign or generally don’t mind the shortcomings of frame generation, AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames (FSR 3) grants a 46% performance uplift at 1080p and 1440p, yielding a remarkable 160.5 FPS and 115 FPS, respectively.

VRAM Usage & CPU Bottlenecks

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has quite the appetite for graphics memory. Even at 1080p, it almost completely used up the 12 GB VRAM buffer on the RTX 3060. It’d be interesting to see if the RTX 4060 or the RX 7600 run into any frametime issues because of their 8 GB buffers.

The Ryzen 5 5600 runs Black Ops 6 quite comfortably with an average GPU-Busy deviation of 5-10% at 1080p. As indicated by the yellow spikes, the FPS spikes are mostly due to GPU limitations rather than the CPU.
