The Cause of Dev Error 6068 in the IW 9.0 Engine

Call of Duty dynamically allocates VRAM based on a user-defined scaling target. If set to 80% or 90%, background Windows DWM compositor allocations can cause memory overflows during heavy killstreak strikes.

Open Graphics settings > Display > Set VRAM Scale Target to 70%. This reserves a healthy 30% memory buffer for Windows system processes.
