3. Recommended In-game Warzone Settings for PC

There are three tabs in the graphics section – display, quality, and view. We will go through important setting items one by one.

Graphics – Display

Let us start with the Display tab in Graphics settings.

• Display mode – Select Fullscreen Exclusive, ensuring all available resources are directed towards the game. If you want to switch between apps outside the game with Alt + Tab, consider selecting Fullscreen borderless. It offers a more seamless experience for that.
• Screen adapter – Select your installed graphics card as your screen adapter. And if you are on Steamdeck, then select the custom AMD GPU.
• Refresh rate – After that, select the refresh rate offered by your chosen monitor to get the most out of the extra frames.
• Screen resolution – Your screen resolution and aspect are set to automatic and selected by the game based on your monitor, so leave them untouched.
• Nvidia Reflex low latency – You can set it to ON + Boost if your CPU is relatively weaker than your GPU. And if you are gaming or have a strong build with a powerful CPU, keep it at ON.
• Eco mode preset – Under the Sustainability sub-section, set the eco mode preset to custom since we don’t want to control computer energy consumption from within the game.
• V-Sync (Gameplay) and (Menus) – Keep them at OFF and 0% to improve FPS in the game. Although keeping it on reduces tears in different frames, ads input latency for action-packed gameplays.

You can set the remaining settings of the tab in the following manner.

Graphics – Quality

Change the Graphic Preset to custom so that you can make changes here.

• Render resolution – Leave it to 100 unless you are looking to boost FPS in the Warzone on a moderately powered PC.
• Path Tracing + Ray constructions – Keep it OFF unless you have extra FPS to spare. Enabling it makes the the campaigns look incredibly realistic but not useful for the Warzone gameplay.
• VRAM scale target – Keep it in a range of 65-75, as it helps keep stuttering to a minimum.
• Variable rate shading – Set it to ON as it prioritizes where the additional quality is needed to improve overall performance.

Graphics – View

4. Enable Game Mode

1. Go to Game Mode from the search.
   
2. Turn on Game Mode through the slider button and then close the window.
   
   Now, Game mode will turn on automatically every time you launch a game. It will prioritize your game and restrict other background processes and apps from running. Doing this will help you get a higher FPS in Warzone.
