Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is one of the most significant installments in the long-running first-person video game series. The video game is now live and has risen to be a commercial success, raising US$ 800 million in its first three days.

The title is extremely well-optimized, and users with entry-level performance segment video cards can easily enjoy a decent experience. Any RTX 30 series or Radeon RX 6000 series video card is enough to play the game, including the RTX 3050.

Thus, it is no surprise that the RTX 3060 laptop GPU can play the game exceptionally well. Users can enjoy a high refresh rate experience in the title by tweaking some in-game settings.


How to get the best experience in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 using an RTX 3060 laptop

Modern Warfare 2 can be played at a solid 100+ FPS on laptops that pack an RTX 3060 laptop GPU. However, users cannot expect to maximize the settings to achieve the sweet three-digit performance numbers.

The RTX 3060 mobile GPU also packs 6 GB of video memory, which falls short compared to the 2022 standards and requires playing Modern Warfare 2 in the highest possible settings.

Thus, gamers might have to sacrifice visual fidelity and rely on temporal upscaling technologies like AMD FSR or Nvidia DLSS to enjoy Modern Warfare 2 competitively.
