Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III FPS with a GTX 1080 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 63FPS min 55Good | 49FPS min 43Acceptable | 26FPS min 23Poor |
| High | 81FPS min 70Good | 63FPS min 55Good | 33FPS min 29Acceptable |

| Low | 138FPS min 120Excellent | 107FPS min 94Good | 57FPS min 51Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 22% | GPU 59% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1080 Ti. There is 17% 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.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III 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 GTX 1080 Ti with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 63 | 79 | 91 |
| 1440p | 49 | 66 | 81 |
| 4K | 26 | 38 | 48 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1080 Ti has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
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.
The GTX 1080 Ti and that processor are well matched in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the GTX 1080 Ti Enough for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III?
The GTX 1080 Ti delivers 63 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 49 FPS and at 4K 26 FPS at Ultra quality.
