Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about an RTX 2060 or RX 6600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 36 FPS.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
Call of Duty: Warzone recommends a Ryzen 5 1600X or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for Call of Duty: Warzone, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
Not stated
The publisher doesn't state a video memory requirement, so we don't estimate one.
Settings to lower first in Call of Duty: Warzone
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where Call of Duty: Warzone offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
- 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
- 3Texture quality last: it costs little frame rate as long as your card has enough video memory.
