How to get higher FPS in Warzone

For higher FPS in Warzone, make sure you adjust your display, quality, and view settings as shown above. While some of these settings are a matter of preference, you’ll want to try these settings first, and then see how well your game runs. If you’re still not satisfied with the FPS, there are a couple more things to do.

First, make sure your graphics card’s drivers are up to date, by using the official applications from either Nvidia, AMD, or even Intel.

Next, make sure you’re not running lots of applications in the background. Web browsers like Chrome can often take up CPU usage, causing your gameplay to be bottlenecked. Closing other applications can improve FPS in these instances.

Finally, the most expensive, but effective option, is to buy a new graphics card with more power. For that, check out our list of the best graphics cards, to make you are getting good value from your next GPU.
