Best Call of Duty: Warzone settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3090 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3090 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Call of Duty: Warzone runs at roughly 125 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 125FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3090 is a high-end graphics card with 24GB of VRAM, and Call of Duty: Warzone is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it flies at 1440p — about 125 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 209 FPS at 1080p and 125 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 71 FPS at 4K. Its 24GB of VRAM is plenty for Call of Duty: Warzone, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
Warzone supports DLSS (RTX), FSR and XeSS. The single biggest FPS lever — competitive players run it on Balanced/Performance for the frames.
Shadow Map ResolutionHighbaseline
Shadow sharpness and draw distance. A big GPU cost — Low/Medium also makes enemies in shaded areas easier to read.
Volumetric QualityHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog and light shafts. Heavy for the look — Low is a popular competitive setting.
Screen Space ReflectionsHighbaseline
Reflections on water and shiny surfaces. Costs real frames and is easy to miss in a firefight.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Modest cost; Off/Medium is fine competitively.
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.
Shader QualityHighbaseline
Complexity of surface and lighting shaders. Medium is a solid performance choice.
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.
