Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III performs well on PlayStation 5, matching high-end current-gen visual parity and framerate delivery. The game reconstructs dynamic internal resolutions ranging from 1080p to 4K up to a 3840x2160 output. At 60Hz, performance is virtually rock solid with only minor drops into the high 50s in campaign set pieces. Enabling 120Hz output provides a substantial improvement in competitive multiplayer, where 120fps is held consistently, while campaign performance ranges between 60fps and 120fps. VRR support is strongly recommended to smooth out framerate drops and screen tearing.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
PlayStation 5 provides a smooth experience across all game modes. Reconstructed 4K image quality holds up well, and frame-rate stability is excellent at 60Hz. The 120Hz mode offers strong competitive benefits in multiplayer, holding 120fps reliably, though campaign performance fluctuates between 60-120fps with upper-screen tearing unless VRR is enabled.
