Upscaling — FSRBalanced+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.
Particle QualityMedium+2% FPS
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.
