Best Call of Duty: Warzone settings for the NVIDIA RTX 2050 (laptop) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 2050 (laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Call of Duty: Warzone runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 32FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 2050 (laptop) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Call of Duty: Warzone is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 32 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 40 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSBalanced+55% FPS
Warzone supports DLSS (RTX), FSR and XeSS. The single biggest FPS lever — competitive players run it on Balanced/Performance for the frames.
Shadow Map ResolutionMedium+6% FPS
Shadow sharpness and draw distance. A big GPU cost — Low/Medium also makes enemies in shaded areas easier to read.
Volumetric QualityMedium+5% FPS
Atmospheric fog and light shafts. Heavy for the look — Low is a popular competitive setting.
Screen Space ReflectionsLow+4% FPS
Reflections on water and shiny surfaces. Costs real frames and is easy to miss in a firefight.
Ambient OcclusionMedium+3% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Modest cost; Off/Medium is fine competitively.
Shader QualityMedium+3% FPS
Complexity of surface and lighting shaders. Medium is a solid performance choice.
Particle QualityHighbaseline
Smoke, explosions and debris. Lowering both gains FPS and cuts visual clutter in busy fights.
TessellationFullbaseline
Adds fine surface geometry detail. Near or Off is an easy, low-impact saving.
Object View DistanceHighbaseline
How far objects render at full detail — partly CPU-bound. Keep reasonably high so you can spot distant enemies.
Water CausticsOnbaseline
Light patterns under water. Cheap; turn Off for a small gain.
Texture ResolutionHighbaseline
Surface detail — and Warzone is hungry for VRAM. On 8GB cards keep this at Normal/High to avoid streaming stutter.
Anisotropic FilteringHighbaseline
Keeps ground and wall textures sharp at angles. Essentially free — keep it High.
Sun Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Quality of the main sunlight shadows. Lowering frees frames in open areas.
Spot / Cache Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadows from local light sources. A reliable saving with little competitive downside.
Static Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Baked cubemap reflections on surfaces. Medium/High is plenty.
Weather Grid VolumesUltrabaseline
Volumetric weather and dust. Off is a common competitive saving.
Particle LightingHighbaseline
How particles are lit. Normal is the performance choice.
Deferred Physics QualityHighbaseline
Debris and small-object physics detail. Low/Medium smooths chaotic fights.
Depth of FieldOnbaseline
Background blur when aiming down sights. Off is a common competitive preference.
