Call of Duty: Black Ops 6FPS onRyzen 5 PRO 5655GE&GeForce RTX 4090

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

The 'COD HQ' ecosystem uses the IW 9.0 engine, which is very demanding on storage and VRAM, often exceeding 100GB in size. 12GB of RAM is the new minimum, and 8GB VRAM cards are starting to struggle at 1440p due to aggressive shader caching and high-fidelity assets.

Performance Limiter Analysis

Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE|GeForce RTX 4090

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.

📈Analysis

At 1080p ultra, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE sets the ceiling at about 229 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 293 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 22% (FPS gap: 64 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 8/12 cells, GPU limits 4/12, balanced 0/12.

Verdict

CPU Limits GPU

Your Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.

Percentages show how much potential FPS of the stronger component is lost because the other component has a lower FPS ceiling.
🧠Methodology

We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.

Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.

CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.

A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.
