Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+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.
Particle QualityLow+6% FPS
Explosions, sparks and smoke. Lowering smooths busy gunfights.
Screen Space ReflectionsOff+6% FPS
Reflections on wet surfaces and metal. A clean saving when lowered.
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.
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.
