ASUS ROG NUC 970 Review
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
To test the gaming potential of ASUS’ ROG NUC, we decided to test a large number of games at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions. We also decided to test it with and without Nvidia’s DLSS technology. We wanted to see how far we could push ASUS’ new NUC.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, it is clear that the game’s “Extreme” preset is a little too taxing for 60+ FPS gameplay at high resolutions. That said, a lot of performance can be clawed back with some tactical settings reductions. Upscalers like DLSS and FSR would also help matters.
For Call of Duty, we decided to enable DLSS and not enable frame generation. Yes, Frame Generation will deliver us more viewable frames; call of Duty is a multiplayer game, and that means that latency is critical. As such, we avoided Frame Generation with this title. An average framerate of almost 100 FPS at 1440p isn’t a bad result from such a compact PC.
