Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 lag can be a pain, but it can easily be remedied most of the time by looking at your hardware, or simply upgrading your drivers.
Modern Warfare 3 is known for its high demand for graphics, causing players with less powerful hardware to encounter the well-known lag problem, as per One Esports.

The Modern Warfare 3 lag problem may stem from various factors, with the most common being low-quality hardware, outdated graphics drivers, improper graphics settings, and unnecessary background applications. If you have an old PC from ten years ago, there is no solution to fix the issue other than upgrading to a new PC or laptop.
If you have a powerful PC with at least an RTX graphics card, we have some simple solutions for you.As previously stated, an old version of the graphics driver is a key factor in causing video game lag. Always ensure your system has the most up-to-date GPU driver, regardless if you have an AMD or Nvidia card.
If the previous technique fails, try adjusting the video settings of Modern Warfare 3 to lessen the visual quality. Playing Modern Warfare 3 at the highest settings delivers the optimal experience, however, if you encounter frame rate issues, we suggest switching to the Low/Medium quality preset in the game settings.
Unnecessary background applications consume vital resources like CPU and GPU usage. Hence, it is advisable to shut them down, particularly during sessions of graphic-heavy games such as Modern Warfare 3.
For example, if Chrome is open in the background, it uses up memory which can affect how well the game runs. Simultaneously, the Wallpaper Engine utilizes a significant amount of the GPU's power (around 30-40%).Therefore, it is advisable to close those applications to possibly resolve the lag problem.
