Recommended Builds

For running COD at 1080p this PC should be able to get easily over 100+ FPS ensuring you are at the top of your game and the leaderboard.
For 1440p
With an RTX 4070 this PC should be able to handle 1440p MWIII with well over 100 FPS especially if you use DLSS. This system's liquid cooling will ensure both you and your CPU stay frosty.
For 4k
Featuring an RTX 4090 and an i9 13900k, this system is as close to as fast as it gets. It should be able to run MWIII at high refresh rates even in 4k, even higher framerates if you use DLSS. This system is the ultimate machine for Call of Duty.
