Best Modern Warfare 3 graphics settings for Nvidia RTX 2060

The Nvidia RTX 2060 was launched as a mid-range 1080p gaming graphics card in the Turing generation. It has already been replaced by much more capable options like the RTX 3060 and the new 4060 GPUs. With an older architecture and limited VRAM buffer, the GPU has already fallen short of the requirements of the latest and most demanding video games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

The new installment in the series is well-optimized on PC. This means gamers with modest hardware like the RTX 2060 can easily have a wonderful experience in the shooter without major compromises to the visual fidelity. However, tweaking the graphics settings in Modern Warfare 3 is necessary for a decent experience.

Like previous Call of Duty games, this year's Modern Warfare bundles a bunch of customizable settings. Going through them manually can be a bit of a chore. To help you get the best experience, we will list the ideal graphics options combination in this article.

Best Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) graphics settings for Nvidia RTX 2060

The Nvidia RTX 2060 is limited by its 6 GB VRAM, and it isn't the fastest pixel-pusher out there. Hence, gamers will have to crank down the settings in Modern Warfare 3. We recommend a mix of medium and normal graphics options for the GPU. You don't need to rely on any form of upscaling with these settings applied at 1080p.

The new Call of Duty looks pretty decent even with these settings applied. On top of this, the game looks pretty sharp given you'll be playing at native 1080p resolution. You can expect a near-60 FPS experience without major frame drops.
