Game requirements

Zen processor. Supports AVX2.

Meets the processor side of the hard requirements of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Valorant.

Not confirmed for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Battlefield 6: they need TPM 2.0, and we can't confirm from its architecture that it is on Activision's list of chips with firmware TPM (Intel 8th gen or newer, Ryzen 2000 series or newer). A TPM 2.0 module fitted to the motherboard also counts.

Games that need TPM 2.0 also need Secure Boot, both switched on in the motherboard's settings. On AMD boards, Activision says fTPM firmware version 3.x.0.x needs a BIOS update; check your board maker's support list for that BIOS before updating, in case it no longer lists your processor. Read from the processor's architecture, using AMD and Intel specification pages and each publisher's requirements. Requirements per game
