Best Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II settings for the AMD RX Vega 64 (8GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX Vega 64 (8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II runs at roughly 76 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 77FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX Vega 64 (8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 76 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 76 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 58 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II: Well-optimized IW9 engine (same tech as Warzone) - Shadow Map Resolution is the main lever; Ultra textures want 10GB+ VRAM.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
MW2 supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. The IW9 engine is well-optimized, but upscaling still buys the high frame rates competitive players want.
Texture ResolutionUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. On-demand texture streaming means this mostly needs VRAM, not GPU power — Ultra wants 10GB+.
Shadow Map ResolutionHighbaseline
The heaviest normal setting. High looks nearly identical to Ultra in motion.
Screen Space ReflectionsNormalbaseline
Reflections on wet ground and glass. Many competitive players turn this off entirely — less visual noise.
Particle QualityHighbaseline
Explosions, smoke and muzzle effects. Low also makes fights slightly easier to read.
Ambient OcclusionBothbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Static-only is the usual competitive pick.
TessellationNearbaseline
Extra geometry detail on surfaces. Near is the sweet spot.
Level of Detail (Nearby / Distant)Highbaseline
How detailed models stay at distance. Normal is fine at 1080p; snipers may want High.
