Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Beta PC Requirements Not That Different from MW 2019 Specs

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:
