Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is now available! In the cinematic campaign, Captain Price and Task Force 141 face off against the ultimate threat, the ultranationalist war criminal Vladimir Makarov, who’s extending his grasp across the world, causing Task Force 141 to fight like never before. Once you’ve dug into the action-packed single-player campaign, head online to defeat Zombies in an exciting open-world co-op experience that takes the Zombies mode everyone knows and loves to the next level. If you prefer Multiplayer, dip into the selection of Core Multiplayer maps from the 16 iconic launch maps of 2009’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that are being brought over and modernized for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
In each mode, GeForce gamers can accelerate frame rates with AI-powered DLSS, or maximize image quality with DLAA. And gameplay gets even more responsive thanks to the day-one inclusion of NVIDIA Reflex in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers can multiply performance in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III with NVIDIA DLSS 3, while all other GeForce RTX players can accelerate frame rates with DLSS 2. Powered by new hardware capabilities of the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture used in GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, DLSS 3 generates entirely new high quality frames, rather than just pixels.
Through a process detailed in full in our NVIDIA DLSS 3 article, DLSS 3 combines DLSS Super Resolution technology and DLSS Frame Generation to reconstruct 7 out of every 8 of the displayed pixels, multiplying performance even in CPU bound scenarios.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III’s built-in benchmark, cranking all settings to max at 4K sees performance increase by 1.8X on average when activating DLSS 3, enabling max setting gameplay at over 100 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4070, and at up to 200 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4090:
“Every frame of action counts in Call of Duty. Once again, NVIDIA introduces major innovations with DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Along with DLSS Super Resolution and Reflex, it allows us to bring faster and smoother gameplay to the PC version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.” - Marc-Alexandre Milot, Design Director, Beenox
At 1440p, DLSS 3 boosts performance by 1.6X, enabling 100 FPS+ gameplay on the entire lineup of GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards, and up to 240 FPS gameplay on the GeForce RTX 4090:
At 1080p, DLSS 3’s 1.5X performance boost enables you to hit esports frame rates on all GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, and allows you to max out the highest refresh rate displays on the GeForce RTX 4090, which achieves a 300 FPS result:
On GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops, DLSS 3 increases performance by 1.6X at both 1080p and 1440p, enabling all owners to game at fast frame rates, and at up to 230 FPS on GeForce RTX 4090 laptops:
With such fast frame rates on so many GPUs, you may want to supercharge image quality with NVIDIA DLAA, an AI-based anti-aliasing mode that utilizes the same technology developed for DLSS. DLAA uses a native resolution image to maximize image quality, rather than boosting performance, and in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III DLAA can be combined with DLSS Frame Generation for the highest possible image quality, and excellent performance.
As you can see above, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III runs particularly well on GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards, and is even faster when DLSS 3 is enabled. To get the rest of your system ready for the game, Activision has shared their system requirements for a range of experiences, from Minimum to Ultra:
Reducing system latency allows you to unleash your skill in competitive multiplayer games, and other genres, too. Sometimes referred to as “system lag”, system latency is the time it takes for an action to occur in-game, and can also affect how fast you see enemies, giving you additional time to shoot first.
NVIDIA Reflex greatly reduces system latency, removing a major impediment to your competitiveness. Available in over 80 games, including 9 out of 10 of the most-played competitive shooters, Reflex is used by over 50 million users each month, and with there being no downsides to its use, it’s a must-have for gamers wanting the most responsive experience possible.
NVIDIA Reflex has helped GeForce gamers reduce system latency in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare II, and Call of Duty: Warzone™. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Reflex reduces system latency by up to 28%.
Together with the high frame rates delivered by DLSS, competitive players receive the definitive experience on GeForce RTX 40 Series PCs and laptops.
