Can I Run Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare?
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is an action game from Sledgehammer Games, released in 2014. Activision published it. The game supports a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. The game ships for Windows alone. Cloud saves are enabled. Its Steam review count passes 11 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. 6 languages are covered by the store listing. Metacritic places it at 78. Completionists have 45 achievements to work through. Being over ten years old, its ceiling was set by the hardware of a different era. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete.

Why Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is demanding
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 @ target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. At 4 GB, VRAM is a non issue for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. The install is small at roughly 55 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare?
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTS 450 @ 1GB / ATI® Radeon™ HD 5870 @ 1GB and 6 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 760 @ 4GB for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 3.95x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.22x |
| 4K | Borderline | 0.99x |
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.
