Best Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II settings for the Intel Arc 140V (iGPU) (2026)

On a Intel Arc 140V (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 40FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc 140V (iGPU) is a handheld graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 40 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 52 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 30 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	40	61
1440p	24	52
4K	13	30

💡 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.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS

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.
