Best Call of Duty settings
Starting sensitivity
4.0 - 7.0 at 800 DPI
Call of Duty plays faster than CS2 or Valorant, with more movement and a wider spread of fight distances. Sensitivity scaling can change between yearly releases, so check your setting when a new title launches and use the converter when you move between CoD and other shooters.
FOV
100-110 FOV is standard in Call of Duty. The default 80 is too narrow for Warzone, where threats come from every side. Higher FOV makes enemies look smaller at range, so don't go past 110 unless you mostly fight up close.

| Render Resolution | 100% (lower causes visible blur) |
|---|---|
| Texture Resolution | Normal or High (depends on VRAM) |
| Shadow Quality | Low or Off (frees a lot of FPS) |
| Particle Quality | Low (clearer view during explosions) |
| Screen Space Reflections | Off (high cost, no competitive benefit) |
| DLSS / FSR | Quality or Balanced (if your GPU supports it) |

Modern Warfare 4 PC requirements
Modern Warfare 4 needs TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and a CPU with AVX on PC, on top of at least a GTX 970 or 1060 class GPU, 8 GB of RAM and 115 GB of SSD space.
| Part | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit (latest update) | Windows 11 64-bit (latest update) |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-6600 | AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i7-8700 |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | AMD Radeon RX 470, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 / 1060 or Intel Arc A580 | AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or Intel Arc B580 |
| Video memory | 3 GB | 8 GB |
| Storage | SSD with 115 GB free at launch | SSD with 115 GB free at launch |
Activision describes the recommended specs as enough for 90 FPS in multiplayer on High settings.
TPM 2.0
Required. In Windows, press Win+R, type tpm.msc and check that the status says the TPM is ready and the specification version is 2.0. If no TPM is found, turn on fTPM (AMD) or PTT (Intel) in your BIOS.
Secure Boot
Required. Press Win+R, type msinfo32 and look for Secure Boot State under System Summary. If it says Off, enable Secure Boot in your BIOS, which usually also needs UEFI boot mode.
AVX
Activision supports only Intel and AMD CPUs with the AVX instruction set. Intel Core and AMD Ryzen CPUs have it, but some older Pentium and Celeron models don't.
