Laptop GPU mentions for RTX 50 series are speculative as of May 2025.
  • Laptop Performance Note: Laptop models of listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance, heavily dependent on TGP (Total Graphics Power), VRAM, and effective cooling. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II can be demanding, especially at higher settings, resolutions, and with ray tracing enabled.
  • Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Maximum TGP for the laptop GPU is crucial for achieving target framerates in CoD:MWII.
  • Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: Robust cooling is essential for sustained performance during intense multiplayer matches or campaign gameplay.
  • Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: High sustained CPU power limits are beneficial, particularly for maintaining high framerates in CPU-bound scenarios (e.g., large player counts, Warzone).
  • Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is highly recommended for optimal performance and reduced latency, critical for competitive play.
  • Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: Supports NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), Intel XeSS, and an in-game dynamic resolution scaler. These are highly recommended for balancing performance and visual quality.
  • Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Texture Resolution, Shadow Quality (including Ray-Traced Shadows), Particle Quality, Anti-Aliasing, Ambient Occlusion, SSR, and View Distance significantly impact performance. Using upscaling technologies is crucial for higher resolutions and ray tracing.
  • Game Name: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022)

  • Laptop Performance Note: Laptop models of listed desktop GPUs may work if their performance is comparable. Performance on laptops is also heavily influenced by cooling and the GPU's Total Graphics Power (TGP). The estimated laptop specs below are approximate and reflect performance tiers for the game's original release period. **Modern laptop GPUs (NVIDIA RTX 30-series, RTX 40-series, and newer AMD equivalents) will significantly exceed these original recommendations and offer excellent performance across all resolutions.**
  • Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Higher TGP in a laptop GPU generally correlates with better sustained performance.
  • Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: Good cooling is essential to prevent thermal throttling during demanding gameplay.
  • Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Laptops with higher CPU power limits can maintain boost clocks longer.
  • Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: Using a MUX switch (if available) or ensuring the dedicated GPU is prioritized over integrated graphics (via NVIDIA Control Panel/AMD Software) is recommended for optimal framerates.
  • Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Texture Quality, Shadow Quality, Water Quality, Volumetric Fog, and Anti-Aliasing heavily impact performance.
  • Game Name: Far Cry 5
