[FPS Benchmarks] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) and RTX 3070 (140W) – the difference is small
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a successful reboot that comes with updated and modern-looking graphics, an interesting single-player story, and decent multiplayer with tons of different game modes.
Some months after the initial release, the free-to-play battle royale mode was released to the public – Call of Duty: Warzone. This is probably one of the main reasons for the popularity of the main game.
Speaking of which, the new engine is optimized decently but if you want to play with all visual settings bumped to its max state, a decent GPU is one of the main requirements. So, let’s check the performance of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) and RTX 3070 (140W).
