Display Mode
Always run games in full-screen mode; using the "Windowed" or "Borderless Windowed" mode, you lose a significant amount of performance. Additionally, turn off the "Constrain Mouse to Game Window" option.
Field of View
Set Field of View at 105, and try to set it as high as possible in these fast-paced shooter games for maximum peripheral vision. Set the Third Person Field of View to 80. Leave the Vehicle Field of View unchanged and set Camera Movements to 100 in both the First and Third Person View.
Post Processing Effects
Enable Nvidia Reflex Low Latency to reduce the delay in action. Turn off the Depth of the Field, World Motion Blur, and Weapon Motion Blur, and set the Film Grain to 0.00. These settings will ensure you get the best display quality.
Dynamic Resolution
Keep this setting turned off. It dynamically alters the resolution to maintain a consistent frame rate. However, it might sound prudent to keep it going. In reality, it's not, as it heavily alters and worsens the gaming experience.
Maximum Frame Rate
This setting comes down to the hardware of your choice, specifically your monitor. If your monitor is 144 Hz, then set this as 144. There is no point leaving it uncapped. Locking it at the refresh rate of your monitor will deliver a much more consistent performance.
Vsync
Keep Vsync turned off unless you have some noticeable screen tear. However, the chances for the same are low if you lock the frame rate to the monitor's refresh rate.
Triple Buffering
Keep it turned off. Triple Buffering increases latency and makes Vsync appear smoother. Additionally, this option effectively adds three frames of Input Latency.
Reduce Buffering
The Input Latency in Modern Warfare 2 is set to one frame by default. Reducing buffering reduces that one frame at the expense of FPS, which impacts your Input Latency. Keep this on unless your PC is having a lot of difficulties.
Nvidia Reflex
Keeping Nvidia Reflex enabled with boosts drastically reduces latency, but keeping it turned off for users with anything lower than 1660 will be the best option.
Graphics Quality Preset
Set the Graphics Quality Preset to HIgh when gaming on GTX 1660.
Upsampling
Enable AMD FSR 1.0. It sharpens the visuals with limited effect on the performance. Set the AMD Fidelity CAS to 75.
Image Sharpening
Set the image sharpening to 0.40 in Modern Warfare 2. As its name suggests, it helps sharpen the images, which is essential in such fast-paced PVP games.
Texture Filtering Quality
Set it low (1x). The positive thing about Modern Warfare 2's aesthetic direction is that even with everything at the lowest level, the game won't look horrible. This enables you to achieve high frames per second without making significant visual compromises. Set the Texture Filter Anisotropic and Particle Quality to high. Turn on Bullet Impact and Spray. Set Shader Quality to high and turn on Tessellation.
Shadow and Lighting Quality
Set the Map Shadow Resolution and Spot Shadow Quality to low. Disable Cache Spot Shadows and Sun Shadows. Set Particle Lighting to medium and disable SSR.
Antialias Quality
Set it to SMAA T2X for the best performance.
Refraction Quality
Set it to low. This controls how well semi-transparent surfaces are affected by light bending. Objects will appear more solid when this level is set to high since it will handle light elements much more accurately. FPS shouldn't be much affected by this setting.
Final thoughts
Overall, Modern Warfare 2's Call of Duty gameplay has undergone several important changes. Many new features, such as a redesigned vehicle system, an improved AI system in the campaign, co-op options, water physics, and swimming mechanics have been praised.
The game is extremely hardware-intensive, so you'll need a strong computer to play it. Fortunately, you'll need to tweak a few settings to play it smoothly with a GTX 1660.
