Activision recommends NVIDIA driver 610.47, AMD 26.7.1 and Intel 32.0.101.8861 for the beta. All PC configurations must also support DirectX 12, TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. Activision warns that players without TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot enabled will not be able to play the beta online.
New shader preloading for PC
Modern Warfare 4 will also introduce shader preloading on PC. The system can prepare shaders before the game launches, reducing the shader processing required after entering the game. Battle.net will support the feature from the first beta installation, while Steam will still require a one-time shader compilation on the first launch.
The Modern Warfare 4 Beta launches on August 21 at 11:00 AM PT following the Call of Duty: NEXT broadcast. Early Access runs until August 25, followed by the Open Beta from August 28 through September 1. Activision notes that these specifications apply specifically to the beta and may differ from the requirements for the final game.
