Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered - PC Performance Analysis [FIX]

[Machpunch]

Hey there!


For those of you who are running a rig with a GTX 980Ti, GTX 1070, or GTX 1080, I have some information to share with you. As I'm sure you all are aware, the game was initially running like absolute garbage on the later 9 and new 10 series GPU's from NVIDIA. So after doing a couple hours of graphics tweaking and research, I've FINALLY found the most optimized graphics settings that work perfectly for me @ 1440p, without any stuttering or sacrificing graphics quality.

Here's the setting I have enabled:


Anisotropic Filtering - High
Bullet Impacts - On
Cache Spot Shadow Maps - Off
Cache Sun Shadow Maps - Off
Depth of Field - High
Depth Prepass - On
Display Mode - Windowed Borderless
Dynamic Light Limit - 8
Fill Remaining Memory - Off
Medium Distance Ambient Occlusion - On
Native Render Resolution - On
Normal Map Resolution - Extra
Post-process AA - SMAA T2x
Ragdoll - On
Resolution - 2560x1440
Screen Space Ambient Occlusion - NVIDIA HBAO+
Shader Preload - On
Shader Preload During Cinematics - Off
Shadow Map Resolution - Extra
Shadows - On
Specular Map Resolution - Extra
Subsurface Scattering - On
Supersampling - 2x
Texture Resolution - Extra

For reference, here's my rig:
i7 4930k
32GB G Skill RAM kit
2x 7200rpm 1TB HDD's
1x EVGA GTX 1080 Founders Edition
27" 1440p monitor

As for the lower end GPU's, these settings may or may not be needed to be adjusted accordingly for smooth fps. (I.E. if you have a GTX 950, you might want to set the texture quality to high or to normal.)

Hope this helps, and happy gaming my friends.

You can tone down Dynamic Light Limit to 2..

Of course you can lol I'm just listing the settings that have worked for me.

thanks for sharing.
it is very interesting to see how many people apparently have framerate issues with the game.
i'm running a i7 3770k with 980 ti OC and 16GB RAM and have zero problems with the game performancewise.
MY problem with the game is that half the maps will give me the "server connection timed out" since the update, which is equally as frustrating because when i get matched into a lobby where there is crash or ambush running, i know i can just as well go afk. rip :P
still. game is nice. waiting patiently for the patch

Well, that's good man! I'm glad some people aren't having issues. I just wanted to share my settings so people could play with a smooth frame rate. Anyway, yeah that is annoying. CoD4 was originally the game that got me into online first person shooters, and I honestly haven't found a game that even comes close to as good as CoD4 was. Which is exactly why i'm trying to help this community. I'd love to see tons of people play MW: RM'ed and I'm sure it'll happen. But in it's current state, it is a bit frustrating. I miss the old days of having dedicated servers, instead of migrating host to host.

true that :)
i'd love to see more people play it and i'd love to be playing myself. right now i am just hoping that the players are holding on until the issues are fixed. most other cod games had those issues in the beginning (remember that absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about Bo3 last year?)

the only problem i see here is that the playerbase is so much smaller and might not survive if the issues aren't adressed in a timely fashion. and if they do, i hope to see more people in playlists other than TDM (FFA and DEMO anyone? :D)

stfu with this guides this game is broken as ♥♥♥♥. The patch it hopefully soon -,- hope this week not like bo3 after 3 months...

Dude, you're a master at fine tuning. I was getting like over 120 fps and dipping to 9 fps at some parts. After your adjustments I've gotten a pretty smooth reliable frame rate. Thank you so much!

Hello! This is how I fixed my in-game lag.
