Vanguard is well optimized, but…
As you may already know, Call of Duty is not known for running great on mid and low-end systems. As the years pass, we will obviously see an increase in minimum requirements for COD games. So, if you are planning to play Vanguard, ensure that your PC features the minimum requirements for it.
As it happens, Call of Duty Vanguard is fairly demanding when it comes to GPU and storage. However, it is not as bad as the previous COD titles. According to Sledgehammer Games, Vanguard’s install size is about 30-50% less than previous COD titles. However, if you like playing COD games at the highest graphical and resolution settings, dedicating a special hard drive to them may be the best idea! Playing competitive or at 4K resolution will attract extra download requirements leading to more storage requirements as well. However, managing your Call of Duty installs has now become easier with the introduction of partial installs. You can now uninstall parts of the game you don’t play, or you can just choose not to install them at all.
