Best Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 runs at roughly 64 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 39FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB 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 64 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 39 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 64 FPS at 1080p and 53 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 30 FPS at 4K. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6GB) 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.
Volumetric QualityLow+8% FPS
Volumetric smoke, fog and god rays - surprisingly heavy. Low/Medium is a strong saving.
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.
Shadow QualityMediumbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. Low/Medium is standard for competitive multiplayer.
Particle QualityHighbaseline
Explosions, sparks and smoke. Lowering smooths busy gunfights.
Screen Space ReflectionsMediumbaseline
Reflections on wet surfaces and metal. A clean saving when lowered.
Shader QualityMediumbaseline
Surface shading detail. Medium is a good balance.
Ambient OcclusionGTAObaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. GTAO is a cheap, good-looking option.
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.
