![]() The game’s Richochet anti-cheat is incompatible with the default, Linux-based SteamOS, so will prevent MW2 from launching even if you’re only trying to play singleplayer.) (Speaking of the Steam Deck, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is unfortunately only playable on Valve’s handheld if you’re using Windows on it. You can crank this back up to your monitor’s native resolution manually, but setting it back to 1080p cut average performance back down to 65fps, which was indistinguishable from Basic. And the Minimum preset’s gains were largely down to it cutting render resolution from 1920x1080 to 960x540 – that’s lower than on the Steam Deck's screen, and it shows. I’d recommend avoiding the Basic and Minimum presets if you can – they certainly ran better on the GTX 1060, averaging 63fps and 109fps respectively, but look so much worse that they should only be called upon by the weakest, most decrepit GPUs. The Ultra preset looked and ran about the same, averaging 33fps, so it took dropping down yet another step – Balanced – to get a decently smooth 52fps. The highest quality preset, Extreme, averaged 31fps – only just playable, and nowhere near Call of Duty’s optimal slickness. In spite of my CPU and RAM greatly exceeding the recommended requirements, the GTX 1060 couldn’t quite keep up with the best-looking settings at 1080p. That said, the multiplayer benchmark doesn't go overly easy, so it's fine to use if you want to use it to test your own rig. It’s one of, if not the toughest sections in the game on PC performance, so anything that can run well here will run well anywhere. The game's full release includes a built-in, multiplayer-focused benchmark tool, but since I only had access to the campaign at the time, I did all my testing using the oil rig infiltration mission roughly halfway into the story. I had a 6GB GTX 1060 lying around, so began testing with it inside my Intel Core i5-11600-based test PC with 16GB of RAM.
