• OFFICIAL AND EXTRAPOLATED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This information is based on the official PC specifications from Activision and Treyarch, adapted to the requested JSON structure. As a fast-paced, large-scale first-person shooter, the requirements are notable, especially the mandatory SSD. Laptop and future-generation GPU listings are extrapolated based on performance benchmarks.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop versions of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance, which is highly dependent on the laptop's TGP (Total Graphics Power) and thermal design. For a competitive shooter like Black Ops 6, maintaining a high and stable framerate is key, making a laptop with a strong CPU and a well-cooled, high-TGP GPU very important.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: A high TGP is essential to ensure the GPU can maintain its boost clocks during intense firefights and when rendering complex environments with numerous particle effects.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game's engine can be demanding during chaotic multiplayer matches. A robust cooling system is necessary to prevent thermal throttling and ensure consistent performance, which is critical for competitive play.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Strong single-core and multi-core CPU performance is important for processing the game's physics, AI, and player data without bottlenecking the GPU. Adequate power delivery to the CPU is key.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is highly recommended to minimize system latency, providing a tangible advantage in a fast-paced shooter where reaction time is critical.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: The game supports a full suite of upscaling technologies, including NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS. NVIDIA Reflex is also supported to reduce system latency. Using these technologies is the primary way to achieve high refresh rate gameplay, especially at higher resolutions.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Performance is most affected by settings like Texture Quality, Shadow Quality, and particle effects. For competitive play, many users will opt for lower settings to maximize framerate and visibility.
• Game Name: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

• Official system requirements from Ubisoft. Performance can vary depending on specific hardware, settings, and background applications. An SSD is strongly recommended for optimal performance, especially with the HD Texture Pack, which requires 12GB of VRAM. For 4K configurations, 16GB of VRAM is recommended.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop models of listed desktop GPUs may work if their performance is comparable. Performance on laptops is also heavily influenced by cooling and the GPU's TGP. The estimated laptop specs below are approximate and reflect performance tiers. Modern laptop GPUs (RTX 30/40 Series and beyond) will comfortably exceed the original recommended desktop specs.
