Call of Duty: Vanguard demands a decent rig to keep up with its high-quality visuals and competitive gameplay. But don’t worry—its system requirements are pretty manageable for most computer users. According to a survey from Steam, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 is a fine graphics card for many players.
Regarding storage, Vanguard does have a heavy footprint, but it’s not as bad as you might think for a game in this series. Initially, you need about 61 GB to get the full game up and running. However, if you’re tight on space, you can install the Zombies and Multiplayer modes, which only require 36 GB. Moreover, for streaming at high-res graphics without munching up too much disk space, there’s an option for a Hi-Rez Assets Cache, which is very lightweight compared to some other Call of Duty titles.
