As the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 approaches its October 25 launch date, Activision and Treyarch Studios have unveiled a wealth of details for the game’s PC version. In partnership with Beenox, the lead PC developer, the team has crafted a truly cutting-edge experience for PC gamers.
PC Trailer
The recently released PC trailer offers a glimpse into the visual splendor that awaits players on the PC platform. Featuring 4K graphics and support for ultrawide displays, the trailer highlights the game’s stunning visuals, which are further enhanced by the integration of AMD’s state-of-the-art technologies.
AMD FSR 3.1 – The Ultimate Performance Boost
At the forefront of the PC experience is the integration of AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 3.1 technology. This delivers faster, more responsive framerates by employing super-resolution temporal upscaling and advanced frame generation. Coupled with the FSR Frame Generation toggle, players can expect a significant boost in their gaming performance, even when playing at 4K or 1440p resolutions.
