Nvidia announced that by purchasing a video card GeForce RTX 3080 or 3090 , or a desktop system equipped with such GPUs, it will be possible to receive Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War for free for a limited time . Information and partners of the initiative can be found on this page. The promotion lasts until 10 December and game redemption is possible until 11 January 2021. In addition to the standard edition title, buyers of the two Nvidia cards will have access to the Woods Operator Pack and Confrontation Weapons Pack.

The point is that this bundle, although interesting and sensible by virtue of the fact that the new CoD supports ray tracing technology and Nvidia’s DLSS, risks ending up in the hands of a very few lucky ones, as the cards are practically unavailable and deliveries for those who have booked them are expected in several weeks, in several cases not before 2021.

In recent days the launch of the RTX 3070 went the same way as the previous proposals , with the cards gone in minutes and the sites of different stores crash. Nvidia, contacted about it, has not told us anything new compared to its previous statements and therefore we remain with the statements of the company’s CEO, who has predicted a demand higher than production for all this year end. The company therefore remains firm in supporting the thesis of “unprecedented demand”. )

Meanwhile, Activision has released the requirements for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War , which you can see by clicking on the image above. You need at least one PC with an Intel Core i3 CPU – 4340 or AMD FX – 6300, 8GB RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX video card 670 / GTX 1650 or AMD Radeon HD 7950 to run the game.

If you want to enable ray tracing , Activision suggests an Intel Core i7 processor – 8700 K or AMD Ryzen 7 1800 X, 16 GB of RAM and one Nvidia GeForce RTX video card 3070. For competitive players, the software house states that even a GTX 1080 / RX Vega 64 can be fine.

Finally, if you want to play with the ray tracing in 4K at high detail settings , a Core i9 CPU is required – 9900 K or a Ryzen 7 3700 X, 16 GB of RAM and a video card GeForce RTX 3080 . Note that it is only possible to install 50 GB dei 175 GB provided in case you only want to play multiplayer. Also, the disk space required to play in “Ultra RTX” is 250 GB, as higher quality textures need to be installed.
