Compare the published tiers

These are launch desktop specifications. Laptop variants may differ. Capacity alone cannot establish processor or graphics-card equivalence.

The Recommended tier’s 90 FPS claim is an official Multiplayer/High-settings target, not a DMZ benchmark or a promise from this checker. Ray Tracing describes 4K upscaled at high ray-tracing quality, without a promised frame rate.

CPU names differ between official pages

The September blog lists Intel Core i7-8700K at Recommended; Activision Support lists i7-8700. Both readings are retained. The checker uses the support article’s list and does not silently treat the two processors as equivalent.

Requirements beyond memory

Storage
115 GB of free SSD space is a launch requirement, not a measured download size. Mandatory updates may need additional room.
System features
Broadband, DirectX 12, an Intel/AMD CPU with AVX, TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are required. Intel Arc requires Resizable BAR.
Windows
The support tiers say latest 64-bit Windows updates. The security page additionally specifies Windows 10 22H2 or newer. Trial, beta and Insider builds may be unsupported.
Drivers listed on October 1
AMD 26.7.1; NVIDIA 616.56; Intel 32.0.101.8974. The article anticipated an ASD-compatible NVIDIA update before launch. These are dated listed versions, not a claim they are the latest available today.
