You can tweak Call of Duty: Black Ops, if its running poory on your PC, but the extent to which you can tweak is minimal. Still, you can improve the performance and make the gameplay smoother by tweaking the graphics, and performance variables of the game.

Refer to the Tweak Guide below to improve Call of Duty: Black Ops Graphics, and Performance on your PC.

Note. Back Up your Call of Duty: Black Ops config first.

It is located here:

Replace these tweaks in your config file to improve graphics and performance. The change would rather be minimal as most of the stuff has been locked down by Treyarch.
