There are very few days until Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 I arrived in stores and, finally, we have them! official PC requirementsThe technical specifications confirm three performance profiles designed to cover everything from modest equipment to enthusiast machines.
In addition to the hardware details, Activision has released specific security settings and options for computers that should be taken into account in Spain and Europe, such as the preload and the support for upscaling technologies which will help maintain good FPS from day one.
Official Black Ops 7 PC Requirements
The company has established three levels of requirements: minimum, recommended and competitive/Ultra 4KEven though it's a big-budget shooter, the entry thresholds aren't extreme, although the Ultra profile raises the bar for playing in 4K with high refresh rates.

Specific technologies and options in PC
The computer version comes with support for AMD FSR 4 and NVIDIA DLSS 4, compatibility with ultrawide monitors, and a huge settings panel with over 800 parameters to fine-tune graphics, interface, and controls.
Improvements focused on accuracy and the PC ecosystem have also been added, such as mouse subframe interpolationRGB iCUE integration for Corsair peripherals and an integrated performance analysis tool to diagnose bottlenecks.
System security and verification
RICOCHET Anti-Cheat strengthens its operation by requiring TPM 2.0 and Secure Bootso that the boot process is validated via a protected route and the loading of unsigned drivers is limited.
Additionally, a compatible CPU is required. AVX instructions And, if you're using an Intel Arc GPU, Activision recommends enabling Resizable BAR (ReBar) to ensure optimal engine performance.
Optimized for laptops and portable consoles running Windows
The study has developed specific profiles for devices such as ASUS ROG Ally and ROG Ally Xwith a scalable interface, power settings, and native controls for small screens.
However, Activision has not specified FPS rates or target resolutions in these systems, so the final performance will depend on the power mode, cooling, and use of FSR/DLSS.
Pre-load and availability in Spain
If you buy digitally, you'll be able to Preload from November 10th at 18:00 PM (peninsular time), and the game will be activated on November 14 at midnight (local time).
It will be available on PC at Steam, Battle.net, and the Xbox app, with day 1 access through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass for those with an active subscription.
Quick setup tips
To get the most out of the hardware without sacrificing quality, it's best to combine scaling and graphics settings wisely, prioritizing fluency and latency in multiplayer.
- Activate FSR 4 or DLSS 4 and adjust the sharpness mode; only increase the internal resolution if you have FPS to spare.
- Use the performance analysis tool to detect whether the limit is set by the GPU or the CPU.
- Update graphics and chipset drivers; on Intel Arc, enable Resizable BAR from the BIOS.
- Install the game on an SSD and leave enough free space for patches; verify that TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are active.
- If you play at 1080p/1440p, consider lowering shadows and ambient occlusion before textures.
As a practical guide, the official table makes it clear that the game is accessible with hardware of Midrange If you're aiming for 1080p, but the competitive/Ultra 4K profile is demanding and requires modern GPUs with 16 GB of VRAM; with upscaling technologies, preloading in peninsular time and security requirements already on the table, you have everything you need to prepare your PC before launch.
