To optimize your Warzone experience on PC and enhance your chances of winning games, it’s crucial to ensure smooth gameplay by fine-tuning your settings.

While Warzone doesn’t have the highest system requirements, it is still taxing on your PC, especially for your CPU and RAM. This can lead to FPS drops, which will affect your performance in Call of Duty’s battle royale.

Verdansk has returned, and while it’s very well optimized, you can make it even smoother by tweaking the settings to maximize FPS. Doing this can be the difference between a smooth, fun gaming session and an inconsistent, miserable one.

Here are the best PC settings for Warzone Season 3 to make sure your game runs as smoothly as possible without ruining its looks.

How to get higher FPS in Warzone

For higher FPS in Warzone, adjust your display, quality, and view settings to match what’s shown above. While some of these settings are a matter of preference, others are integral to making your game run as well as possible.

However, if you’re still unsatisfied with the FPS, there are a couple more things to do. First, make sure your graphics card’s drivers are up to date by using the official applications from NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel (see below).

Next, make sure you’re not running lots of applications in the background. Browsers like Chrome can often take up RAM and even CPU usage, causing your gameplay to bottleneck. Closing other applications can improve FPS in these instances, with Warzone requiring a lot of resources to run properly.

Finally, the most expensive but effective option is to buy a new graphics card with more power. For that, check out our list of the best graphics cards to make sure you are getting good value from your next GPU.

Why does Call of Duty keep restarting on PC?

Regular CoD players will know that when you open the game, there’s a decent chance you’ll be met with “Update Requires Restart,” which sees your game close and open again. This can be annoying, but there is a reason for it.

Essentially, when a developer releases an update or a hotfix for the game, the new information needs to be applied to the app’s code. Since this can’t be done while the app is running, it closes it momentarily to apply the changes and then starts back up. While it can be annoying, it’s actually improving the game, so don’t get too frustrated and let it work its magic.
