Graphics Settings

  • You can choose between "fullscreen," "borderless," "windowed" and "fullscreen extended window," which uses all the area of a multi-monitor system
  • The "sustainability" section lets you adjust an FPS limiter and V-Sync, for in-game and in-menu separately
  • V-Sync can be disabled completely, there is no hidden FPS cap
  • The presets available are "Extreme," "Ultra," "Balanced," "Basic," and "Minimum." Minimum sets render resolution to 50%, all the others keep it at 100%.
  • Dynamic Resolution can be enabled to dynamically adjust the rendering resolution, with a target range for 30 to 300 FPS
  • The upscalers available are "Off," "FSR 1.0," "FSR 3.0," "DLSS," "DLAA," "NVIDIA Image Scaling," "FidelityFX CAS," and "XeSS"
  • While you can adjust sharpening for NVIDIA upscalers, there's no such option for FSR
  • Frame Generation can be enabled independent of upscaling, so you can use DLSS upscaling with FSR frame generation on pre-GeForce 40 cards
  • "VRAM Scale Target" lets you set a predefined amount of memory that's the maximum that CoD can use, based on the graphics card's total memory. This can come in handy when you have other applications using GPU memory while gaming.
  • "On-Demand Texture Streaming" downloads textures from the Internet. There is no option to turn it off, the only choice is "Minimal"
  • Additionally, there's a long list of settings that help you balance rendering performance with quality
  • The third settings screen lets you adjust the Field of View. The default of 90° was a bit too narrow for me and I changed it to 105°
  • Motion blur can be disabled completely
  • You may also adjust how much the camera moves while you walk/stand still—great to avoid motion sickness

Benchmark scores in other reviews are only comparable when this exact same configuration is used.
  • We tested the public Steam release of CoD BO6, not a press release build
  • We used the newest drivers from all the GPU vendors, which have all released drivers supporting the game
