The Nvidia RTX 3070 continues to be a great GPU for running shooters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The graphics card was initially introduced for playing the latest games at 1440p resolutions. However, almost three years have passed since its debut, and the GPU has already been replaced by the much more capable RTX 4070 and 4070 Ti.
Thus, gamers need to crank down the settings in Modern Warfare 3 for a decent experience. The game comes with dozens of customization options that can make fine-tuning a bit of a chore. Moreover, if you want to play the game at 1440p on the GPU, inadequate customization can completely destroy the experience.
To help 3070 owners, we will list the best graphics settings for the GPU in this article. We are targeting high framerates at QHD resolution.
