Black Ops 6 guide: Best settings for Nvidia RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 Ti

The Nvidia RTX 3080 and 3080 Ti are 4K gaming video cards from the last generation. They continue to be powerful enough to handle new titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The latest shooter in the long-running series has been optimized pretty well on PC, making it easier for the 80-class cards. However, we recommend a few settings tweaks to get the best performance.

In this article, we have compiled the ideal settings lists for the two GPUs. Follow this guide to quickly get started in the title. Just ensure your system meets at least the recommended requirements (16 GB of RAM and at least a Ryzen 5 1600X or Intel Core i7-6700K) to utilize the 3080 GPUs to their fullest.

The RTX 3080 was originally introduced as a 4K gaming GPU. However, we recommend sticking to 1440p in Black Ops 6 for the best experience. A mix of Low, Medium, and High settings with DLSS turned off works best for the card. You may turn on FSR 3 frame generation for 100+ FPS, but we don't recommend it outside the campaign mode for the added latency.

The 3080 Ti is a fair bit more capable than its older 10 GB sibling. This GPU can play the game at 4K with a similar settings list applied. However, if you're looking for a competitive experience with high framerates, sticking to 1440p with the graphics set to the Extreme preset is a better idea.
