Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 PC Performance Review and Optimisation Guide

DLSS 3

DLSS is broken in Black Ops 6

At launch, most upscaling options in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 do not run as expected on PC. FSR 3, DLSS, and XeSS all have performance issues. This means that low resolution scales are required to even beat native (not upscaled) game performance. We replicated these issues on all of the GPUs we have tested. How this got past QA on a franchise as large as Call of Duty is baffling.

Note that using DLAA (native Resolution DLSS) results in a 40% performance drop in Call of Duty Black Ops 6. Activision needs to work on addressing this issue urgently.

DLSS Frame Generation is available in all modes in Black Ops 6. In contrast, AMD’s FSR 3 Frame Generation technology can only be enabled in Campaign mode. Thankfully, DLSS Frame Generation works as expected in Black Ops 6, though players who demand the lowest latencies should avoid Frame Generation entirely.
