Best Call of Duty: Warzone settings to boost PC FPS
Having a high frame-per-second is one of the benefits PC players experience, so follow this settings guide to the get most FPS from your system.
While feeling smoother in general, having a higher frame rate will improve your reaction time and make moving enemies easier to shoot. This is why professional players and competitive streamers spend thousands of dollars on building extremely powerful PCs.
You don’t have to spend all that money, however. Apply these settings to Warzone and see a marked improvement in your FPS.
Best settings
When changing your graphical settings in Warzone, you must balance how you want your game to look with how well it will run. Better graphics mean lower frames as its more intensive for your system to run. These settings prioritize your FPS, giving you a smoother experience in Verdansk.
While streamers you see have well over 100 FPS, a constant 60 is a solid benchmark to aim for. This will give you a smooth experience without dropping frames.
First, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. This may seem obvious but if you’ve missed an update, you might not be getting the most out of your system. If you have an NVIDIA graphics card you can easily do this through the GeForce Experience App.

While your game won’t look as good as with the standard settings, this will give your PC the best performance without severely dating the game’s graphics.
If your PC is really struggling, you can go even further by setting your texture resolution to ‘Very Low’ but weapons and camos will appear blurry and unrecognizable.
