Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 PC performance analysis – shooting straight on PC

It’s Q4, which means it’s that time of year again: Call of Duty is here. This year it’s Treyarch’s turn to provide the thrills, and it seems like it’s done a great job with Black Ops 4; the multiplayer, battle royale, and zombies package is being reviewed well across the board. But great reviews don’t always equate to great performance, especially when it comes to PC ports. But Activision and Treyarch want Call of Duty to be a big success on PC this year - which is no surprise, considering our platform is the hometown of the battle royale. Good performance starts with a robust software foundation, which is a job that was tasked to Activision’s subsidiary studio Beenox. Has it succeeded? That’s what we’re here to find out. Our performance analysis is written to offer you the broadest picture possible, focusing on hardware similar to what the majority of players have installed in their machines, based on the findings of the Steam Hardware Survey. We test the game on all graphical settings using an i5 powered rig with 8GB of RAM, and try to hit 60fps with four popular graphics cards. Even if your PC is not identical to our test setups, you should still be able to estimate the performance levels you can expect from your own machine with our results.
