A stable PC setup is important for enjoying Modern Warfare 4. Before changing graphics settings or blaming your hardware for performance problems, compare your system with the game's published requirements. Meeting the minimum requirements is not the same as achieving high, consistent frame rates at every graphics setting.

Activision's published PC requirements list the following minimum specifications at launch:

ComponentMinimum requirement
ComponentMinimum requirement
Operating systemWindows 10 64-bit, latest supported updates
ProcessorAMD Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-6600
Memory8 GB RAM
GraphicsAMD Radeon RX 470 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 / 1060, or Intel Arc A580
StorageSSD with 115 GB available space

For its recommended configuration targeting 90 FPS in Multiplayer at high graphics settings, Activision lists a Ryzen 5 3600 or Core i7-8700K, 16 GB RAM, and a Radeon RX 6600 XT, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, or Intel Arc B580. Published specifications can change as the game receives updates. The official PC requirements page should be checked for the latest details. Do Not Overlook TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot In addition to hardware performance, Modern Warfare 4 requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot for online play on PC. A capable CPU and GPU do not override these requirements. Check your Windows and firmware configuration if the game reports a security-setting problem.

How to Investigate Low FPS

If your PC meets the requirements but performance remains inconsistent, check background applications, GPU drivers, available storage, temperatures, and graphics settings. A high average FPS can conceal short frame-time spikes, so evaluate smoothness as well as the displayed frame rate.

Conclusion

Start with the official requirements, confirm the security configuration, and then investigate performance one component at a time. This approach helps distinguish a system limitation from a game bug or configuration problem.
