Best tips and tricks for smooth graphics in Black Ops 7 beta
You'll need to check some basics to get the best performance out of your hardware.
- Update the graphics: The first thing you should do is check if your graphics drivers are updated to the latest version. If not, auto-download the newest version and install it before playing the beta.
- Cap the FPS: Unless you have a superior graphics card, it might be better to cap the FPS to 90/60 (depending on your system). This will ensure no frame drops during a crucial moment in the battle.
- Download the shaders: While they can load and install while you're live in a game, it's better to wait. The shaders don't take long (depending on your settings), and the performance will improve once the download and installation process is complete.
