How to Boost FPS in Warzone on PC

Install the latest graphics driver from your GPU maker. Game ready drivers often include fixes for specific titles. Make sure Windows is up to date, and keep Warzone on an SSD if you can. Installing on a hard drive is a common cause of long load times and texture pop in.

• Display mode: Fullscreen exclusive generally gives the lowest input delay on most setups. Try it before borderless.
• V-Sync: Turn it off in game for the lowest delay. If you see tearing, use a variable refresh rate monitor with G-Sync or FreeSync rather than V-Sync.
• Frame rate limit: Set a custom limit a little under your monitor's refresh rate if you see inconsistent frame pacing, or leave it uncapped if your system stays stable.
• NVIDIA Reflex: If you have a supported NVIDIA card, enable it. It is designed to reduce system latency.

Not every setting costs the same. These tend to be the heaviest, so start here:

1. Shadows and lighting quality: Lowering these often returns a noticeable gain.
2. Texture resolution: Only keep it high if you have plenty of VRAM. Running out of VRAM causes stutter.
3. Particle quality and effects: Reducing these helps in busy fights.
4. Ambient occlusion and screen space reflections: Costly for modest visual gain, so they are good candidates to turn down or off.

Leave the field of view at a value you are comfortable with. A wider field of view shows more of the map but can cost some performance.

Upscalers such as DLSS, FSR and XeSS render the game at a lower internal resolution and reconstruct the image. On a mid range GPU this can be the single biggest boost. Try the quality mode first and move toward balanced or performance only if you need the extra frames. Check which options your GPU supports in the graphics menu.

• Close browsers, launchers and recording software you are not using.
• Disable overlays you do not need, since some add overhead.
• Set your Windows power plan to a high performance option, especially on laptops, and make sure the laptop is plugged in.
• Confirm your RAM is running at its rated speed in the BIOS if your motherboard supports a memory profile. This is a quiet cause of low performance on many builds.

If your frame rate starts strong and drops after twenty minutes, suspect thermal throttling. Check your CPU and GPU temperatures during play and clean dust from fans and filters.

That is usually a frame pacing or stutter problem rather than a raw FPS problem. We cover it step by step in our Warzone stuttering fix guide.

1. Update drivers and Windows.
2. Switch to fullscreen exclusive and enable Reflex if available.
3. Lower shadows, particles and ambient occlusion.
4. Try an upscaler.
5. Close background apps and check temperatures.

Change one thing at a time and compare. Once your frame rate is stable, it is a good moment to tune your sensitivity, because your aim will feel different at higher FPS.
