Activision announced the official requirements for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War for PC. According to the company, gamers will need to have at least 175 GB of free hard drive space to install the different game modes.
The most striking thing is this, if you choose to play in Ultra RTX (Raytracing), you need 250 GB of storage on our PC, at this rate we might need to call back traditional HDDs again, geez. As for the hardware, to play with "high FPS" with Ray Tracing activated and in 4K resolution, Activision recommends using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 accompanied by 16 GB of RAM and an Intel i9 9900K or AMD Ryzen 3700X processor.
To play with a good FPS rate to use a high refresh rate monitor, Activision suggests using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 or an AMD Radeon RX Vega 64. For those who aren't interested in gaming with RTX or high-frequency monitors, Cold War comes down to an i5 2500K or an AMD Ryzen 1600X. It is also suggested to have a GeForce GTX 970 / GTX 1660 Super or a Radeon R9 390 / RX 580.
