Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II benchmark on RTX 5080: 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 5080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 191FPS min 110Excellent | 165FPS min 101Excellent | 118FPS min 86Good |
| High | 249FPS min 143Excellent | 215FPS min 132Excellent | 153FPS min 111Excellent |
| Medium | 325FPS min 187Excellent | 281FPS min 173Excellent | 200FPS min 145Excellent |
| Low | 421FPS min 242Excellent | 363FPS min 223Excellent | 259FPS min 188Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 51% | CPU 44% | CPU 25% |
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 5080. 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 5080 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 191 | 239 | 277 | 406 |
| 1440p | 165 | 223 | 272 | 379 |
| 4K | 118 | 171 | 218 | 291 |
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 5080 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 5080 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 5080 Enough for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II?
The RTX 5080 delivers 191 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 165 FPS and at 4K 118 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
