About Call of Duty: Warzone on PC

Warzone stresses hardware in ways the multiplayer maps do not: 100+ players, a full city and long sightlines mean both the CPU and the memory subsystem are working hard from the moment you drop. Performance measured in the firing range is meaningless here.

Competitive settings are close to Black Ops 6 — low everywhere, streaming budget within VRAM, post-processing off — with extra attention to keeping the frame rate stable during the first thirty seconds after landing, when the most players are alive.

Covers full battle-royale lobbies, which are considerably heavier than private matches or the firing range.
