Activision's listed beta drivers are Nvidia 610.47, AMD 26.7.1, and Intel 32.0.101.8861. A newer stable driver can supersede those exact versions, but the beta article is the source for the launch-window recommendation.
These numbers apply to the beta. Do not use them as a guarantee for the October retail build; Activision explicitly says full-game requirements may differ. For a security-check failure, follow the separate TPM and Secure Boot page.
