Call of Duty: Warzone 2 features top-of-the-line graphics, the latest audio technology, and features that bring its Al Mazrah map to life. Warzone 2 marks the beginning of a new era for Activision's battle royale series of games.
While the FPS title might be visually appealing, it comes at the cost of frames per second. Most new GPUs handle the game exceptionally well, but a few last-gen GPUs fall behind.
The GTX 1660 Ti was a solid offering from Nvidia for 1080p gaming. It performed tremendously well in esports titles and delivered impressive performances in most triple-A titles. However, with time, as games have become more advanced, the GPU has started showing its age. In 2022, the card will run most titles but with some compromises.
This guide covers all the Warzone 2 settings to ensure the best possible performance on a GTX 1660 Ti while maintaining decent visual fidelity.

Hence, one needs to adjust the settings in such a way that it delivers the best performance without crippling other hardware's performance in the system. However, thanks to Warzone 2's ability to customize various settings, one can easily tweak them to derive the best results.
