NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready 440.97 WHQL Driver Delivers COD: Modern Warfare Optimizations
These new Game Ready drivers are specifically optimized for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which includes native support for real-time ray tracing found on NVIDIA's Turing-based GeForce RTX and GeForce GTX graphics cards (although you're definitely get much improved performance with these effects on the former cards). Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will in particular make use of ray traced shadow effects to enhance gameplay in both single-player campaign and 2v2 Gunfight multiplayer modes.
Activision's system requirements for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare are listed below:

More specifically, NVIDIA adds that it recommends an Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD Ryzen R5 1600X along with a GeForce RTX for ray tracing support (1080p @ 60fps). For those that want to go for the ultimate in image quality with all ray tracing and detail effects cranked up at 4K/60fps, NVIDIA recommends an Intel Core i7-9700K or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with a GeForce RTX 2080 Super.
And we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that NVIDIA is currently running a promotion where if you purchase a GeForce RTX card or a new system with a GeForce RTX card installed (desktop or laptop), you'll get a free copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
In addition to being optimized for Activision's latest shooter, the latest GeForce Game Ready drivers also include full support for The Outer Worlds along with Day-1 optimizations.
