Best Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 runs at roughly 93 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 94FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs great at 1080p — about 93 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 93 FPS at 1080p and 75 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
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.
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.
Volumetric QualityMediumbaseline
Volumetric smoke, fog and god rays - surprisingly heavy. Low/Medium is a strong saving.
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.
