Gamers with Turing-based GeForce GTX 16-Series and GeForce RTX 20-Series graphics cards can improve Modern Warfare performance by enabling NVIDIA Adaptive Shading. This cunning tech adjusts the shading rate of pixels on the fly, and is particularly beneficial in dark areas, of which there are many in Modern Warfare’s campaign and multiplayer modes.

Furthermore, we’re excited to announce that NVIDIA users will be able to enhance their gaming experience with NVIDIA Ansel & Highlights.

  • NVIDIA Ansel: In the single-player campaign, press Alt+F2 to capture unique NVIDIA Ansel screenshots, from custom angles, and with filters and other tweaks applied. Snap, upload to ShotWithGeForce and other sites, and share with just a few clicks.
  • NVIDIA Highlights: In multiplayer, let NVIDIA Highlights capture your best moments. Multi-kills, kill trades, kill streaks, equipment impact kills, and more will automatically be recorded and saved for post-match editing and sharing via YouTube, social media, and other sites.

And of course, to further optimize your game experience, users can download our upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Game Ready Driver for optimum day-1 performance, and optimize game settings with a single click in GeForce Experience.

And don’t forget, for a limited time, you can get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with the purchase of select GeForce RTX GPUs, desktops, and laptops. There’s no better time to upgrade to get the ultimate Modern Warfare experience on PC.
