Call of Duty: Black Ops III releases tomorrow and Treyarch’s Director of Development has revealed some new information about the PC version. According to him, Call of Duty: Black Ops III will be more GPU bound than CPU bound. When a fan asked about the CPU scaling of Black Ops III’s engine, pcdev replied that the “GPU power is more important in this engine.”
@fresh_muffins GPU power is more important in this engine.

Now since this game will be GPU bound, there is a question whether it will be friendly to multi-GPUs. Well, good news everyone as the game will ship with SLI support (NVIDIA released yesterday a new driver for Black Ops III). There will also be Crossfire support, however AMD has not released yet its optimized driver for this game.
@ClubbyDubby Yes. Looks sweet in 4K!

@Horschl You'll have to wait untill AMD releases their new driver.

It’s no secret that the beta of Black Ops III suffered from some annoying mouse acceleration issues. According to pcdev, the final build has lower mouse input lag than the one found in Black Ops 2.
@AlijaMehmedovic We now have lower input lag than in BO2.

Last but not least, pcdev revealed that the PC version will feature 100% dedicated servers for public matches and arena, and “Listen Server” hosts for Custom Games.
@wAnxTa PC is 100% dedicated servers for public match and arena.

John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

We’ve known this for a while now
Looks like that console money is drying up.
They want to build up a large active playerbase on PC so they can milk us for microtransactions.
… & imo “paid” mods, there is something fishy about upcoming mod tools & map editor
Do something bad, get criticized. Do something good, get criticized.
After years of being absolutely terrible, I’m supposed to believe they did this out of sheer benevolence?
Ha!
But that doesn’t change the fact it’s a good move.
Never said it did. I’m questioning the reasons behind it, and the fact that the mod support only enters ALPHA in MARCH 2016 is a big minus.
Reasons are irrelevant at least for now. And I’m glad the game is getting mod support at all, considering how rare that is for a AAA game in general, much less the biggest-selling franchise.
Who cares about benevolence? Is the product good or not it’s what matters. And they weren’t terrible. At least the COD’s i pirated where good enough :^)
Don’t take it personal, they happy to screw over gamers on any format
Are you a commie bro? they want to sell games, not do charity work. If people dry them pockets buying sh*t online, it’s their fault for being fools.
who cares for consolised shooters
A lot of people apparently. Its No. 2 & 3 top seller on Steam at the moment.
Shooters and epecilay fps consolized or not are best played on pc with keyboard and mouse. It is the same genre. Consolised fps are have much slower gameplay compared to those made for pc only but still playing them on pc is the best way to experience a fps.
COD started life on PC, So… Is it in fact a pc’ised shooter?
Main campaign of original COD is shorter than modern cods lol. Original COD you could have 3 guns and grenade and health bar but that’s it.
with free dlc will be nice
Good news for pc players. Finally devs starting to acknowledge us

Impressive
I will buy this game but performance analysis comes first.
Don’t believe a thing. Wait a week or two and we’ll know all about the ugly mistakes they made this time. I find it scary how you take some dev’s word on CPU not being the bottleneck. There’s generally only one type of game that is GPU-bottlenecked and that’s a game that forces you to use high graphical fidelity, a game lacking low settings. On low settings all games are CPU bottlenecked. The dev’s statement makes me question his competence.
Dont insult them them.. I think COD has become PC friendly again since Advance Warfare.
