What are the best Warzone PC settings?

With the cycle in full swing, these settings act as the perfect baseline for you to tweak so they suit your personal preferences:

Display

  • Display Mode: Full Screen
  • Display Monitor: Your preferred monitor
  • Display adapter: Your graphics card
  • Screen Refresh Rate: Match your monitors refresh rate (e.g. 360 fps for a 360Hz monitor)
  • Render Resolution: 100%
  • Aspect Ratio: Automatic
  • V-Sync: Disabled
  • Custom Framerate Limit: Custom
  • NVIDIA Highlights: Disabled
  • NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Enabled + Boost

Shadows and lighting

  • Shadow Map Resolution: Low
  • Cache Spot Shadows: Enabled

Post processing effects

  • NVIDIA DLSS (NVIDIA RTX cards only): Performance
  • Anti-Aliasing: Off
  • Depth of Field: Disabled
  • Filmic Strength: 0.00
  • World Motion Blur: Disabled
  • Weapon Motion Blur: Disabled
  • Film Grain: 0.00

To stop any visuals from disrupting your focus, we highly recommend disabling world motion blur and weapon motion blur. It also makes the game look much worse.

Details and textures

  • Streaming Quality: Low
  • Texture Resolution: Low
  • Texture Filter Anisotropic: Low
  • Particle Quality: Low
  • Bullet impacts and sprays: Disabled
  • Tessellation: Disabled
  • On-demand Texture Streaming: Disabled

Even if your hardware is capable of running Warzone 2 at a better quality, setting all of the above settings to low is a great starting point. If you want the game to look better, don't hesitate to increase them to medium or even high if your PC can handle it.

Warzone Season 6 Reloaded release date

Season 6 Reloaded is expected to start on October 17, 2023. The mid-season update is expected to include another dose of weapon balancing in addition to new content that will require the best PC settings to run smoothly.
