To considerable applause from the gaming community, Activision’s brand-new Call of Duty MW2 Remastered (2022), but with its release comes the age-old query, “Can my PC run it?” Do not worry, though, as, in this article, we will discuss the best graphics cards (GPUs) you can purchase to play this enormous video game.
Our budget selection for playing MW2 at 1440P is Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card, which is a victory for Nvidia. This decision might appear surprising given that AMD’s RX 6650XT actually offers a higher frame rate at a lower price.
MSI RX 6750 XT MECH 2X
Pros
Cheaper option
Solid build quality
Cons
No overclock
Strong performance from the RX 6750 XT places it in a well-deserved second place in our roundup. Although FSR has drawbacks, as seen by the aforementioned RX 6650XT, it also has the benefit of enabling cards like this to compete with GPUs that are much more expensive.
This card can meet the refresh rate of popular 165Hz, and 1440P gaming monitors and deliver a fantastic gaming experience with an average frame rate of 172 frames per second.
ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 6700 XT OC
Pros
Great cooling solution
Best performing option
Cons
More expensive option
ASUS Dual AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT OC
Pros
Quality build
Good overclock
Cons
More expensive option
Additionally, it’s an impressive release from AMD with a strong 12GB of video VRAM and a considerable improvement in performance over the RX 6700XT (the card on which this is based). A variety of board partner RX 6750XT designs are available, or you may find out more about the AMD Radeon edition.
Even in light of the recent debuts of the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090, Nvidia’s RTX 3080 card consistently delivers good performance. It is still a very capable performer that is still being produced, and at a lower MSRP price point than the 4080 at that.
This card never seems to let you down, offering over 160FPS at 1440P with, it has to be stated, more visual fidelity than the RX 6750XT. Frame rates were incredibly smooth, and when compared to the competition, Nvidia’s Ray Tracing and DLSS technologies are still rather advanced.
ASUS ROG Strix RTX 4090 OC
Pros
Excellent air cooling solution
Pushes performance above the rest of the selection
Updated design cooling and aesthetically focused
Cons
A more expensive choice over the rest of the picks and will cost a lot to run
ASUS TUF Gaming Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 OC
Pros
Very competetively priced
2nd Gen Ray Tracing Cores
Very efficient thermal design
One of the quieter 3080 AIBs
Cons
Not the most aesthetically pleasing 3080
