On a AMD R9 380 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 29FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD R9 380 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 29 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 39 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 22 FPS at 4K.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Black Ops 6 supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. The biggest, easiest FPS lever in multiplayer.
Ray Tracing (Shadows / AO)Offsaves FPS
Ray-traced sun shadows and ambient occlusion. Heavy and pointless competitively - keep Off for high refresh.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. Low/Medium is standard for competitive multiplayer.
Volumetric QualityLow+8% FPS
Volumetric smoke, fog and god rays - surprisingly heavy. Low/Medium is a strong saving.
Shader QualityLow+5% FPS
Surface shading detail. Medium is a good balance.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows for depth. GTAO is a cheap, good-looking option.
Particle QualityMedium+3% FPS
Explosions, sparks and smoke. Lowering smooths busy gunfights.
Screen Space ReflectionsLow+3% FPS
Reflections on wet surfaces and metal. A clean saving when lowered.
Texture ResolutionUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. COD streams a lot of texture data, so leave headroom on 8GB cards.
Water CausticsOffbaseline
Light patterns on underwater surfaces. A small, easy saving - leave Off.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps floors and distant textures sharp - essentially free, use 16x.
