Best Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II runs at roughly 88 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 89FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) is a strong 1440p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 88 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 147 FPS at 1080p and 88 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 68 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS 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 — DLSSOff
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.
