Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II PC System Requirements

Activision and Infinity Ward have revealed the official PC Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II PC system requirements. They also stated that this new CoD game would only run on Intel and AMD processors that support AVX.

You need at least an Intel Core i3 6100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 with 8 GB of RAM to run the game. For the GPU, you would also need at least an NVIDIA GeForce GTX960 or an AMD Radeon RX 470. The game requires 72 GB of free hard disk space.

For 4K gaming at Ultra settings with high framerates, Infinity Ward recommends using an Intel Core i9 9900K or AMD Ryzen 9 3900X with 16 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT.

Regardless of the performance of your hardware, you will also need Windows 10 64-bit with the latest updates and up-to-date graphics card drivers.

There is no sign of Ray Tracing settings yet, so we can safely assume the game won’t have these effects. At least not right at the release.
