How Call of Duty runs on the GeForce RTX 3080

Our estimate puts the GeForce RTX 3080 at about 120 fps on High at 1080p in Call of Duty, which means it runs comfortably. On Low the same card manages about 229 fps, and on Ultra about 87.

The graphics card is the limit here, so lowering the resolution or the quality preset is what raises your frame rate.

For a steady 60 fps, our estimate says: 1080p: Ultra (about 87 fps); 1440p: Ultra (about 62 fps); 4K: Medium (about 67 fps).

Settings advice

Call of Duty lists 8 GB of RAM (recommending 12 GB) and a processor of the AMD Ryzen 5 1600X class. Our estimate assumes a processor that does not limit the GeForce RTX 3080, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.

For reference, the next card up in our list, the GeForce RTX 5070, is estimated at 122 fps on High at 1080p, so you have room to raise settings or resolution on the GeForce RTX 3080.
