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.
Shadow Map ResolutionLow+10% FPS
The heaviest normal setting. High looks nearly identical to Ultra in motion.
Screen Space ReflectionsOff+7% FPS
Reflections on wet ground and glass. Many competitive players turn this off entirely — less visual noise.
Particle QualityLow+6% FPS
Explosions, smoke and muzzle effects. Low also makes fights slightly easier to read.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Static-only is the usual competitive pick.
Level of Detail (Nearby / Distant)Low+5% FPS
How detailed models stay at distance. Normal is fine at 1080p; snipers may want High.
TessellationOff+4% FPS
Extra geometry detail on surfaces. Near is the sweet spot.
Texture ResolutionUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. On-demand texture streaming means this mostly needs VRAM, not GPU power — Ultra wants 10GB+.
