With Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War set to support the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series (aka the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080) with ray-traced shadows, ray-traced ambient occlusion, and the truly impressive DLSS for that much needed performance boost. Alongside the new impressive RTX heavy PC trailer (which is in stunning UltraWide) we've also got a breakdown of hardware requirements covering a range of settings.

But first, a taste of the maxed-out goodness.
