We also tried downsampling the game, from 4K to HD (1920x1080 pixels). The former peaked at 90fps with an average of 70fps, while the latter saw us maintain a slick 85fps, hitting a high of 125fps in both cases, with all the other visual settings at the highest level. If you're not as fussy about resolution, then you'll find Black Ops 3 to be a whole lot more enjoyable at 2560x1440 pixels or even 1920x1080 pixels. Dropping down to High settings, one rung below Extra, we noticed an immediate and welcome bump to 40fps.Īlthough there's a discernible difference in image quality, with sharper explosions and foliage at the highest preset, going a step down is not a deal breaker by any means. It's not ideal but it was enjoyable all the same. The added visual fidelity brought on by enhanced lighting and textures ensured that we chugged along at a steady 30 frames. To be fair, Black Ops 3's single-player campaigns have a lot of action and are a lot busier than most games. (Also see: Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 - Everything You Need to Know ) We averaged around 30 frames per second, which is lower than what we were able to get with other shooters such as Star Wars Battlefront. However, the performance at these settings was lackluster. On firing up Black Ops 3's campaign it defaulted to the highest possible settings ('Extra', as the game calls it) at 3840x2160 pixels.
Our test machine consisted of an i5 3470 processor(3.2Ghz), 16GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 980Ti, Asus PB279Q monitor and a 500GB SSD on Windows 10. Treyarch has not given a recommended specification for the game. In terms of minimum specifications, Black Ops 3 calls for an i3-530 (2.93GHz), 6GB RAM, an Nvidia GeForce 470 or AMD Radeon HD6970 1GB video card, and 60GB of hard drive space. The extensive amount of options come in handy in case of crashes and poor performance, which many seem to be facing even with 8GB of RAM. From being able to set its texture and lighting quality, to allowing for downsampling - the ability to render games at 4K, and to then project them at 1080p for a higher quality image - there's a lot you can tweak to ensure smooth performance.
What we noticed was that Treyarch has included a lot of options for you to tweak and consider. (Also see: Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Review ) Our review of Black Ops 3 was based on the PlayStation 4 version of the game, which we found to be pretty stable performance-wise, so we decided to take the PC version for a spin. From a generously long single-player campaign, a charming Zombies mode, and multiplayer, there's something for everyone.
The latest sci-fi military shooter from Treyarch is crammed with content. It's no surprise that Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 raked in $550 million in its first three days.
