Call of Duty: Warzone 2 sets itself apart from its prequel by delivering a Battle Royale experience like never before. The new map, Al Mazrah, features a wide variety of terrains, ranging from clustered city buildings to an oasis with pools of water. All of these captivating elements are brought to life with the franchise's latest graphical upgrades and brilliant audio design.
Back in 2019, the GTX 1660 was a solid mid-range GPU from Nvidia and the ideal choice for mid-range gamers looking for a solid 1080p performance, since it delivered the best of both worlds, visual fidelity and framerates.
