Can I Run Call of Duty?
Call of Duty is an action game from Treyarch, released in 2022. Activision published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. Completionists have 157 achievements to work through. The game ships for Windows alone. Its Steam review count passes 410 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Steam lists support for 14 languages. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller.

Why Call of Duty is demanding
The ask Call of Duty makes is moderate. AMD Radeon RX 6600XT, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or Intel Arc B580 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Call of Duty calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. An SSD is specified rather than suggested. Call of Duty needs only 12 GB of RAM. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Call of Duty at the floor and Call of Duty at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Call of Duty?
Older hardware holds up here: Call of Duty runs on modest graphics, with AMD Radeon™ RX 470, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970 / 1060 or Intel® Arc™ A580 enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.56x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.25x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Call of Duty's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
