Activision has released the official PC system requirements for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Beta. Unsurprisingly for some, the minimum end of this tier is really low-spec, and most gamers won’t have a hard time trying to run the beta. At a minimum, players will need a GeForce GTX 970, GTX 1060, or Radeon RX 470. Intel users will need the relatively more recent Arc A580; however, according to Activision, the title requires only 3GB of VRAM as a minimum.

For the minimum CPU and memory requirements, players will need an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 or the Intel Core i5-8400, along with 12GB of RAM. The minimum OS is 64-bit Windows 10, and you'll also need an SSD.

For the recommended requirements, we’re looking at 8GB of VRAM. That means you’re going to need a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, Radeon RX 6700 XT, or the Intel Arc B580. Recommended CPU and memory are the Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i7-8700, plus 16GB of RAM. The recommended OS is Windows 11 (64-bit), and as always, an SSD is recommended.

PC players will also need TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled on their systems. This ensures RICOCHET Anti-Cheat™ functions properly and provides the best possible experience for all players. Without both enabled, Activision has warned players that they won’t be able to play the beta online.
