Having stable GPU and CPU performance in Warzone is necessary for a smooth gameplay experience. Season 6 brought a ton of content updates to the game but there was little to no mention of performance updates. While the developers try to take active feedback to improve the game a significant portion of the community feels that it still needs better optimization.

While we cannot deny the existence of performance issues, it is possible to fix these with a few potential workarounds. This article will provide a comprehensive guide to improving GPU and CPU performance in Warzone.

Note: The following methods are not definitive but recommendations that might enhance and optimize your CPU and GPU performance in Warzone.


Guide to possibly improving CPU and GPU performance in Warzone

Warzone offers a set of telemetry settings that players can use to monitor their CPU and GPU performance in the game. Here's how you can do that:

  • Open Call of Duty HQ
  • Go to Warzone
  • Open settings and search for Telemetry options
  • Select FPS counters, server latency, and other required metrics.

Players can now check their in-game FPS (frames per second), GPU temperatures, VRAM usage, and server latency in real time. This will help evaluate the game's performance and identify the areas where it is lacking.

FPS boost

Warzone provides several options in the Graphics tab that can alter the game's performance. However, we recommend the competitive preset if you want the smoothest experience possible. Here are the settings you should use to get more FPS in Warzone:

  • Display Mode: Fullscreen Exclusive
  • Display Monitor: The monitor with the highest refresh rate
  • Display Adapter: Your preferred Graphics Card
  • Screen Refresh Rate: Maximum Refresh Rate supported by the Monitor
  • Display Resolution: 1920X1080
  • Aspect Ratio: Automatic

Upscaling options

If the problem persists even after using the recommended settings then players can utilize upscaling options. These settings will not necessarily help to improve the CPU and GPU performance but will help to achieve more in-game FPS at the cost of visual quality. While the title offers seven upscaling options, two out of them work the best.

NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR 3.0 are the upscaling options in Warzone that will help players achieve the most out of their GPU. DLSS is an upscaling method that is limited to the NVIDIA RTX GPUs while FSR is available for all devices. These options use frame generation by lowering the resolution and then upscaling it to default resulting in more frames.
