Experiencing low FPS and stuttering in Call of Duty: Warzone can significantly hinder your gameplay. To enhance performance and ensure a smoother experience, consider the following strategies:
1. Optimize In-Game Settings
Adjusting Warzone's graphics settings can lead to a notable FPS boost. Prioritize performance over visual fidelity by lowering settings such as texture resolution, shadow quality, and disabling unnecessary features like ray tracing. This approach reduces the strain on your system, facilitating smoother gameplay.
2. Enable Fullscreen Exclusive Mode
Warzone may default to "Fullscreen Borderless" mode, which can introduce input lag and reduce FPS. Switching to "Fullscreen Exclusive" mode ensures the game has complete control over the display, potentially improving performance
3. Update or Roll Back Graphics Drivers
Keeping your graphics drivers up-to-date is crucial for optimal performance. However, newer drivers can sometimes cause issues. If you experience performance drops after an update, consider rolling back to a previous driver version. To do this:
- Open "Device Manager."
- Expand "Display Adapters" and double-click your graphics card.
- Navigate to the "Driver" tab and select "Roll Back Driver."
- Restart your PC.
If the option is unavailable, manually uninstall the current driver and install an earlier version from the manufacturer's website.
4. Adjust Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling
Windows offers a "Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling" feature that can impact game performance. Players have reported mixed results, so it's advisable to test both enabling and disabling this setting:
- Right-click on your desktop and select "Display Settings."
- Scroll down and click on "Graphics Settings."
- Toggle "Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling" on or off.
- Restart your PC.
Monitor any changes in performance to determine the optimal setting for your system.
5. Utilize NVIDIA DLSS or AMD FSR
If your system supports it, enabling NVIDIA's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) or AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) can enhance FPS by rendering the game at a lower resolution and upscaling it, maintaining visual quality while improving performance. To enable DLSS in Warzone:
- Navigate to "Settings" > "Graphics" > "Quality."
- Under "Upscaling/Sharpening," select "NVIDIA DLSS."
- Choose a preferred mode (e.g., "Performance" or "Quality").
For AMD users, select "FidelityFX Super Resolution" under the same menu.
6. Scan and Repair Game Files
Corrupted or missing game files can cause performance issues. Use the built-in repair tools to address this:
-
For Battle.net Users:
- Open the Battle.net client and select Warzone.
- Click on the gear icon next to the "Play" button and choose "Scan and Repair."
- Follow the prompts to complete the process.
-
For Steam Users:
- Open Steam and navigate to your library.
- Right-click on Warzone, select "Properties," then go to the "Local Files" tab.
- Click "Verify Integrity of Game Files."
This process will identify and fix any issues with the game files.
7. Enable Weapon Motion Blur
Some players have found that enabling "Weapon Motion Blur" can mitigate FPS drops at the start of matches. While it may take some adjustment, this setting could provide a performance boost during critical moments.
8. Reinstall Warzone
If all else fails, a complete reinstallation of Warzone can resolve persistent performance issues. This ensures that all game files are intact and eliminates any potential corruption causing FPS drops or stuttering.
By implementing these strategies, you can enhance your Warzone experience with improved FPS and reduced stuttering.
