The next COD game, Ghosts is nearly with us and the requirements are looking like they are huge. Following in the footsteps of the Assassins Creed 4 requirements, we are thinking that the next gen level of tech requirements are finally here in full force.
Lets take a look at the Call of Duty Ghosts system requirements...
Call of Duty Ghosts Minimum System Requirements
OS: Win 7 64-Bit or Win 8 64-Bit
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 2.66 GHZ or an AMD Phenom X3 8750 2.4 GHZ
RAM: 6GB system memory
HD : 40GB of free hard disk
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5870 or NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 Ti
DX: 11 Direct X
NET: Activation requires one off internet connection and of course multiplayer will also need constant internet access
Ok I can sense some of you are weeping right now. After all, thats some pretty hefty requirements for Ghosts minimum specs. But this is "next gen" according to the marketing. What remains to be seen is whether Ghosts will look and play like it is worth 50GB of hard space, minimum of 6GB RAM and a powerful Radeon HD 5870, or if it is just badly ported.
Another thing to consider is that they may be exaggerating the minimum system requirements because they need to give the impression that Ghosts really is a Next Gen title, when in fact there might be a chance that it will run on a lesser machine and still look good.
Only time will tell and once we get our hands on Call of Duty Ghosts we will run it through its paces to see what lesser PC machines can do with it.
A final thing to note is that the Radeon HD 5870 is quite a bit more powerful than the GTX 550 Ti, which further suggests that Nvidia are the ones that have early access to this game for early optimising purposes.
Remember you can check out how well your PC Can Run Call of Duty Ghosts System Requirements here and as always we will adjust the requirements on that page further as the real world requirements start to get reported across the millions of different gaming systems.
Okay, its your turn guys, lets hear your thoughts?

another fake info i guess GTS 450 = HD 5870 ?
PC Specs
smritimoy is right... No way in hell a game running on a modified BO2 engine (which itself was a modified MW2/3 engine) can have such requirements... Those CPUs will bottleneck even a GTS 450 leave alone an HD 5870... Minimum system requirements for this game have to be lower than BF4... In fact, any game that can run BF4 on low or medium can run a BO2 engine game on high or very high... Perhaps GTX 550 ti and HD 6770 will be recommended for this game...
PC Specs
we have to wait and see then how it will turn out then.
PC Specs
THOSE FAKE REQUIREMENTS!!!!
Makes me laugh every time I see them.
XD
PC Specs
they are saying core2duo cpu and hd5870 gpu isn't that bottlenecking :)
PC Specs
obviously..:D
PC Specs
It appears that these specs are on activision store but still i doubt they are true.

PC Specs
According to The new requirements, i need more RAM and a Powerful GPU?
PC Specs
Even that laptop will be fine... From the footage of campaign gameplay, this game has a lower level of detail than Crysis 2 leave alone 3... This game will use a heavily modified BO2 engine... If your laptop could run BO2, chances are it will have little trouble with Ghosts...
PC Specs
Good, as someone mentioned to me yesterday, i'll be able to run it at low settings if possible :)
Thank you.
PC Specs
I still think sys. req are fake..
PC Specs
They are, no question!
PC Specs
This game runs on modified BO2 engine... Of course these are fake...
PC Specs
Just saw released spec the minimum requirement is a 780 Ti!!!! lol
PC Specs
i think original req. will be lower :) hd5870 is much powerful then gtx550ti
PC Specs
Yes this point has been stressed on enough...
PC Specs
it should be lower so that i can run it. ;p
PC Specs
This might not be the best place 2 ask but...why is it when i ask for settings Ppl always say no AA...
PC Specs
you know why :P
Because it's either Your CPU is the bottleneck or maybe you misunderstood us Bro, these games now are more demanding than any other games :)
PC Specs
Anti-aliasing(AA) is meant to smooth jagged lines in game. AA tends to eat Frames per second (FPS) so it is better to go without if you are on the bottom end of a detail requirement. an example would be: You run this game on ultra and get 35 fps. That is still playable and will look pretty but for competitive play it is better to have 40-50+ fps. So by turning AA off you would gain the extra fps needed to be about 40 fps. It is just people trying to help you get the most out of games. But if eye candy is your main concern then by all means rock AA but it will hurt your fps.
PC Specs
can i run it ?
PC Specs
Of course... If no major improvement over BO2, then max (HD 6770 could max BO2 even on 1080p)... If it really is way more demanding than BO2, then tweaked high... Your low resolution helps...
PC Specs
Honestly-with these reqs, like I said before, this game has to look like Crysis 3 on an overdose of steroids. It just looks like a slightly polished BO2. So almost anyone should be fine with this. I'm not saying it's true, its just that it is likely.
So yeah, smrit should be fine.
PC Specs
Of course you can smrit! These aren't legit requirments! look at MW 3 then add half a star and i bet that is what the reqs will be for this game.
PC Specs
Can i run this... i dont care for graphics just want to play the story and gameplay
PC Specs
at your res lowest settings with no aa but these requirements are not the official ,so the official ones are gonna be much lower for sure
PC Specs
chombe is right... This game runs on a heavily modified BO2 engine and from the campaign gameplay tarilers I've seen, the level of detail seems way way way way lower than CryEngine 3 and Frostbite 3 games... HD 4000 and GT 610 should manage low at 720p no problem...
PC Specs
That GTX 550 Ti doesn't looks so ''minimum'' ...
PC Specs
GTX 550 ti can probably max this game at 1920x1080 at 60+ fps... This game uses a modified BO2 engine and according to notebookcheck, they maxed it at 1920x1080 with AAx4 and AFx16 on a GTS 450 at minimum 34 fps and disabling AA would have pushed it to 45+ fps... GTX 550 ti is basically an overclocked GTS 450 with an extra memory channel...
PC Specs
So can i run it on minimum settings?
PC Specs
HD 2500 can barely run BO2 on low settings at 25 fps and this game is indeed going to be more demanding (not exactly in the league of Frostbite 3 or Anvil Next though)... I would not get my hopes up... How do you run BO2 anyway...? Have you tried on your rig...?
PC Specs
I never played BO2,just BO,and it worked well,i got 30-40 fps,sometimes drops to 20 but it's ok,I'll try BO2 and tell you after that :D
PC Specs
50 GB ? Seriously ?
PC Specs
No it will take between 15-20 gb(guessing) these requirements were released by Nvidia and activision already said they are the official. The official will be barely higher than MW3 since they are on the same engine.
PC Specs
Which has been modified ;)
PC Specs
Settings??? :(
PC Specs
at your current res you cant run it so you need to lower your res and then on low settings with no aa but this requirements are not official so the official are gonna be definitely much lower
PC Specs
Aah !! thnx for the info that the official req will be lower than this! :D
PC Specs
no problem bro :)
PC Specs
6GB of RAM my ass -__-
PC Specs
i think this is a minimum in both CPU and GPU's but in RAM *
WTF 6 GB
what the hell is going on
PC Specs
These are fake... After seeing campaign gameplay footage, I saw that the level of detail is below Crysis 2... This game is using a heavily modified BO2 engine that IW is calling IW6 for as yet unknown reasons... Game is likely to be more demanding than BO2 but below Crysis 2 and BF3 leave alone Crysis 3 and BF4...
PC Specs
WTF!!!! 50GB??????????
PC Specs
Get used to it :D
PC Specs
i think Metro Last Light looks a bit better than this,so Ghost's requirements should be similar to Metro:LL
PC Specs
No this game can in no way be as demanding as Metro Last Light unless it is horrendously optimized...
PC Specs
what re they thinking before mentioning 6 GB ram. and are the ac 4 requirements final????????????
PC Specs
Felix you gotta be kidding us. Fifty gb! Nothing takes 50 gb and how come that rusty old engine needs 6gb of Ram and an HD 5870
PC Specs
This game's level of detail is nowhere near (NOWHERE NEAR) Crysis 2 leave alone Crysis 3 and BF4... Most likely this game will require a Core 2 Quad or Phenom Quad Core and GTX 550 ti or HD 6770 for ultra settings... RAM is also most liekly going to be 2 GB minimum and 4 GB recommended...
PC Specs
These requirements aren't made up by Felix :D
PC Specs
:D
PC Specs
arent this requirements the same that Nvidia Geforce released some tima ago?
PC Specs
Yeah, these are, and are most likely fake.
PC Specs
Also, I've recently pre-ordered Call of Duty: Ghosts on Steam, and there's no image in Grid View or confirmation that I own it on the video game's Steam page. Is this normal?
PC Specs
What would my performance be?
PC Specs
without a doubt ultra on 1080p! These aren't official reqs.
PC Specs
That's great to hear!
