Frequently Asked Questions
Which setting costs the most FPS in Warzone?
In PC Optimized Settings’ test, Shader Quality cost 17% or more, followed by Volumetrics at about 10.5% and Screen Space Reflections at about 9–10%. Shadows only made a 7% difference.
Why does Warzone stutter when I first load in?
Usually because shaders haven’t finished. Activision recommends waiting for shader pre-loading to finish before playing and closing monitoring apps like MSI Afterburner.
Should I use DLSS in Warzone?
Yes, if your FPS isn’t high enough. In GameGPU’s Black Ops 7 test, DLSS Quality raised FPS from 141 to 204. If your FPS is already high, FidelityFX CAS gives a sharper image.
What are the minimum requirements for Warzone?
Per Activision: Ryzen 5 1400 or i5-6600, an RX 470 or GTX 1060, 8GB RAM, and an SSD with 116GB free, plus TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot.
