The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta is fast approaching, and Activision has released the requirements for those who want to get in on the action on PC.
Surprisingly, despite Modern Warfare 2 supposedly boasting a new engine, its Recommended specs aren’t much different than 2019’s Modern Warfare.
Back in 2019, Activision recommended a GeForce GTX 1660 and now they say you need a GTX 1060.
In 2019 they recommended a Radeon RX 580 and now you need… the exact same thing.
But hey, you now need 16 GB of RAM instead of 12 GB.
Here are your Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta PC requirements: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Minimum PC requirements OS: Windows 10 – 54 Bit (latest update) CPU: Intel Core i5-3570 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon RX 470 Video Memory: 3GB RAM: 16GB RAM Storage Space: 25GB Sound Card: DirectX Compatible Recommended Graphic Drivers: NVIDIA: 516.
