Best Modern Warfare 3 graphics settings for AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

Modern Warfare 3 plays pretty well on high-end cards from the last generation, like the AMD Radeon RX 6800 and the RX 6800 XT. These GPUs were launched to compete directly against the likes of the RTX 3080 as 4K gaming powerhouses. Even a few years since its release, players can expect top-notch performance at UHD resolutions in the latest titles with little to no compromises.

The AMD GPUs are considerably slower than their Nvidia counterparts, however. Some graphics tweaks are, therefore, necessary for the best performance in MW3.

Best Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) graphics settings for AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT can easily handle the new Call of Duty at 4K resolutions with some tweaks to the settings. We recommend a mix of normal and medium settings for the best framerates in the game. With these graphics options applied, the game doesn't look the best, but it ensures a decent experience.

Modern Warfare 3 also supports all upscaling technologies, including FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 2. However, with a mix of normal and medium settings applied on the 6800 XT, you don't have to rely on FSR for playable framerates. Hence, you can keep it turned off.
