Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is one of the most anticipated games of 2022. It is one of the largest projects undertaken by the developers as it carries the story from the rebooted title that was released back in 2019.
The developers have optimized the game very well on PC as it can deliver a solid chunk of FPS with almost any hardware. Thus, it is completely possible to enjoy the title at its maximum potential on an RTX 3050, an entry-level graphics card released earlier this year for desktop DIY builders.
Gamers will, however, be locked to 1080p with this graphics card in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The game cannot be enjoyed in the maximum settings either. But, by cranking down some settings that take a massive toll on the GPU and do not improve visual fidelity massively, a 60+ FPS experience is possible.
How to get the best experience in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 using an RTX 3050
Modern Warfare 2 has a bunch of graphics options that allow for complete customization on PC. The number of settings and the possible outcomes, thus, can be plenty. It can get difficult for gamers who just want to have a fun experience in the campaign.
