Best Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 settings for the NVIDIA GT 1030 (GDDR5) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GT 1030 (GDDR5) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 runs at roughly 28 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 12FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GT 1030 (GDDR5) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 28 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 12 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 28 FPS at 1080p and 17 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 9 FPS at 4K. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GT 1030 (GDDR5) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

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.
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.
