How to use NVIDIA DLSS in Modern Warfare 2

Setting up NVIDIA DLSS in Modern Warfare 2
NVIDIA DLSS can give you a significant FPS boost.

Modern Warfare 2 uses NVIDIA DLSS technology to increase FPS while maintaining high resolution. Here’s how to activate it in the Infinity Ward shooter.

  1. Launch Modern Warfare 2
  2. Go to  “Settings”  and go to the  “Graphics” tab  .
  3. Select  Quality  , then open the  Zoom/Sharpen drop-down list.
  4. Click on  NVIDIA DLSS  .
  5. For more options, click  “Show More”  , where you can choose the quality and strength.

Most Modern Warfare 2 players playing at 1440p only need the  “Quality  ” or  “Balanced” settings  , but 4K players or those whose systems are dropping frames can use ”  Performance  ” or  “Ultra Performance”  to squeeze out as many frames as possible.

And don’t forget to update your drivers.
