Patch fr call of duty black ops 2 pc 1080p#Ī GTX 295, on the other hand, will offer you a constant 60fps gaming experience at 1080p with max settings (with minimum amounts of MSAA though). Black Ops 2 supports FXAA which ironically does a great job at reducing the game’s jaggies, something that will be appreciated by owners of older GPUs. Black Ops 2 does not require a quad-core to shine, but it definitely relies on the frequency of your CPU. Moreover, we did not notice any performance hit when we tried to simulate a dual-core CPU, meaning that the game is optimized for dual-core CPUs, even though it scales well and on four cores.
When we lowered our CPU frequency to its default clocks, the game’s performance dropped on both of our simulated dual-core and ‘normal’ quad-core systems, suggesting that the engine is not capable of taking proper advantage of more than two CPU cores. Furthermore, there were various scenes in which our framerate dropped below 45s.
This proves that Black Ops 2 requires a high clocked dual-core system to run with constant 60fps. Naturally, the game can take advantage of newer CPUs, so expect this game to perform better on Intel’s iX processors. Still, Black Ops 2 is not better optimized than the previous part of the Call of Duty franchise, despite implementing a – supposedly – better and newer API. It’s ironic, but there is nothing on-screen to suggest this kind of CPU requirements.īut let’s get back on the graphics side, shall we? We saw that Black Ops 2 benefits from SLI systems but is it a great looker and do its visuals justify the need for a GTX295? Not quite.
There are definitely some occasions where the game’s visuals can come close to modern-day shooters, however most of the times, Black Ops 2 looks outdated. There are a lot of low-resolution textures, the ambient occlusion technique that has been used is among the worst we’ve ever seen, and there is a lot of pop-up (naturally, there is no option to adjust the game’s LOD). Black Ops 2 scales incredibly on SLI systems and runs with 60fps on a GTX295 (when it is packed with an overclocked CPU), but we really can’t see why it stresses such a system.
