Best Modern Warfare 2 settings for RTX 3090

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the latest entry in the long-running first-person shooter video game series. The upcoming title continues the story of Task Force 141 from where 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare left off. The upcoming sequel's campaign mode is already available to those who pre-ordered it.

Due to the large number of players on the PC platform, the developers have optimized Modern Warfare 2 pretty well for Windows. The upcoming game runs great on any RTX 30 series hardware, from the RTX 3050 mobile GPUs, which are the weakest in the lineup, to the high-end RTX 3090 GPUs.

Nvidia markets the 3090 as an 8K capable graphics card. Although the GPU's performance at 7680 x 4320 is questionable, it can run Modern Warfare 2 rather well at UHD resolution. Fans can enjoy a solid gaming experience while playing the first-person shooter at 4K.

Getting the best experience in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 using an RTX 3090

The RTX 3090 can easily max out the game at 4K without requiring upscaling technologies like Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR, accomplishing all of this while providing a steady 60+ FPS experience.

However, if users want to play the game competitively at 120+ FPS once the multiplayer and Warzone 2.0 roll out, they will have to rely on DLSS. Fortunately, even the Quality preset of DLSS with a few demanding settings dialed down is enough to push the game above the 120 FPS mark.

Reportedly, Activision has plenty of Modern Warfare 2 content planned out for the holiday season, and gamers with a shiny RTX 30 series-powered PC should be geared up to jump right into some enjoyable first-person shooter action at its best.
