Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II benchmark on RTX 4090: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II FPS with a RTX 4090 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 199FPS min 112Excellent | 175FPS min 106Excellent | 130FPS min 91Excellent |
| High | 259FPS min 146Excellent | 228FPS min 138Excellent | 169FPS min 119Excellent |
| Medium | 338FPS min 190Excellent | 298FPS min 180Excellent | 221FPS min 155Excellent |
| Low | 438FPS min 246Excellent | 385FPS min 232Excellent | 286FPS min 201Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 53% | CPU 46% | CPU 29% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 4090. There is 8% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 4090 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 199 | 249 | 289 | 423 |
| 1440p | 175 | 236 | 289 | 401 |
| 4K | 130 | 189 | 241 | 321 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 4090 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RTX 4090 has headroom to spare in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RTX 4090 Enough for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II?
The RTX 4090 delivers 199 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 175 FPS and at 4K 130 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
