When jumping into Call of Duty Black Ops 7 on PC, you’ll want to change your BO7 Graphics Settings so you’re getting high frame rates and low latency, not fighting stutters or drops. Following is a full breakdown of the key settings to prioritise, why they matter, and how to balance quality vs performance.

Display & Refresh Settings

First, how the game displays to the screen and the amount of overhead your system must control are affected by the display settings. 

• Select Fullscreen Exclusive as the Display Mode. This may reduce input lag and ensure that the game has full power over the display buffer. Unlock the ultra-clean Singularity Camo and dominate the battlefield without grinding. 

• Set the display refresh rate to the highest amount that your monitor can handle. Make use of your 144 Hz or higher panel. Smooth responsiveness comes from more refreshing.

• Select the Display Resolution that best suits your system: If you want to get more frames per second, use 1920 x 1080, or if your gear is more potent, use 2560 x 1440.

• Switch off V-Sync (gameplay). While V-Sync removes tearing, it often leads to input lag and may limit your frame rate, which is bad for competitive shooters.

Graphics and Rendering Settings

These are some of the major BO7 graphics settings that impact the amount of work your GPU performs. The largest FPS increase can often be achieved by lowering quality here.

• Set the Graphics Preset to Custom so that you can change anything by hand.
• If your GPU can support it, RenderResolution = 100 (also known as native resolution) is best; if not, reduce it until efficiency becomes better.
• Put Dynamic Resolution off. You want an unchanged resolution for competitive gaming, not one that varies.
• Use FidelityFX CAS and set the strength to 100 for upscaling and sharpening. If you observe differences, stay away from AMD FSR3 or DLSS frame generation.
• If the VRAM on your GPU is limited, set the VRAM Scale Target to about 80%. helpful in avoiding memory swapping-related stutters.
• Lower the memory and shader workload by reducing the texture resolution to very low and the texture filter anisotropic to low.

Shadows, Lighting & Environment

Frequently ignored, but performance-heavy. With little impact on the clarity of gameplay, these can be tuned down greatly. Curious about the hype map? Explore what the map Avalon really means for your gameplay and why it might change the game. 

• Check that you turn off screen space shadows and set the shadow quality to very low. Though shadows are useful, you don’t require these to aim and move fast.
• Pick Very Low for Terrain Quality, Static Reflection Quality, Screen Space Reflections, and Occlusion & Screen Space Lighting.
• Minimize volumetric quality, switch off weather grid volumes, water quality, and deferred physical quality. All of these use GPU time with limited advantage over competitors.

View & Motion Settings

Although clarity and comfort have a more direct impact on FPS than these options, they can still aid to minimize lag and distractions. Preparing your console? Know exactly how much space you’ll need with this breakdown of the full install size for Black Ops 7. 

• Define Motion Reduction to Off. Settings for motion blur or reduction often trigger input lag or blur images.
• Field of View (FOV) is essential for spatial awareness; for your own comfort, set it at 100 and 120 to balance performance and visibility.
• Disable Weapon Motion Blur and World Motion Blur. Given their cinematic style, these effects may affect responsiveness and clarity.

You’ll boost your chances of enjoying fluid gameplay and a high frame rate in Black Ops 7 with these settings, which will give you the edge over others you want.
