The best graphics in competitive gaming are the ones that provide the highest frame rate while also giving you good visual fidelity to knock enemies out. Frame rate in competitive gaming is simple: the higher fps you have, the better your input lag will be and the more accurate your movements will be.
In First-person competitive shooters higher frame rates are really important because in most of them, the one who first shoots accurately wins the fight. So even if your aim is accurate, your ping and frame should be high enough to land your first shots on the enemy without any input lag or latency. In hyper-competitive games like Call of Duty Warzone and Counter-strike 2 the difference between a kill or getting killed is in the milliseconds.
Having higher frame rates can only benefit you in these games. While having a high refresh rate would be the cherry on top for now we will talk about how to increase your frame rate in Call of Duty Warzone. In this blog, we will talk about what steps you can take to get better frame rates like changing your in-game settings and tweaking your operating system to allow more resources to be given to Warzone.
Call of duty minimum requirements to run the game:
Before altering the game make sure your hardware is capable enough to gain the fps you wish. Here are the bare minimum requirements to run the game on your PC.
- Processor: intel i3 6100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200.
- Ram: 8 GB DDR4.
- Storage: 125 GB of storage.
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce® GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 580.
- Broadband connection.
So if you have this type of system or better then you should be able to run the game fine. Keep in mind competitive games can get intense and even with this hardware you can get stutters in your gameplay. To keep the stutters as low as possible make sure to use an ethernet connection. To avoid texture glitching or hitching try using a faster nvme ssd and high frequency ram. So your pc can render the texture faster without hitchings or stutters.
Here are the steps to increase your fps.
Reset shaders:
Go into your game settings, reset the game shaders, exit the game, and restart your pc. After restarting, run the game again and the shaders will start to download. Resetting shaders will download a new copy of the shaders. The new copy of shaders will be more aligned with your current GPU drivers.
Use these video settings:
- Vsync: off
- Nvidia low latency or amd anti-lag: On
- Anti-aliasing: filmic SMAA t2x
- Anti-aliasing Quality: Normal
- Texture resolution low: Low
- Texture filter anisotropic: Normal
- Nearby level of detail: High
- Distant level of detail: Low
- Clutter Draw Distance: Short
- Particle Quality: Low
- Particle Quality Level: Low
- Bullet Impact & Spary: Preference
- Persistent Damage Layers: Preference
- Shader quality: Low (also Depends on your storage’s read and write speed)
- Tessellation: near
- On-demand Texture Streaming: off
- Shadow map resolution: Off
- Screen space shadows: Off
- Spot shadow quality: medium (Or keep it according to your GPU’s vram)
- Spot cache: HIGH
- Particle Lighting: Normal
- Ambient Occlusion: OFF
These are the competitive settings and some of them are demanding so you can change them based on your taste and your hardware. If you have a g-sync or free sync enable monitor then you should enable that also. It will get rid of the screen tearing which is bound to happen due to high frame rates.
Tweak the config file:
Now go to documents and in the call of duty folder you’ll find the config file. We have to make some tweaks in config files since most settings in that config are not visible in-game. before doing anything else copy your config somewhere else so if you mess up something in there you can just change the file to the original one.
Copy these settings and paste them there
SunShadowCascade: 0.0 =
BloodLimit:0.0 = “true”
BloodLimitInterval:0.0 =
CorpsesCullingThreshold:0.0 =
ReflectionProbeRelighting:0.0 =
SubdivisionLevel:0.0
EnableVelocityBasedBlur:0.0 = “false”
Make sure to find individual settings and then copy each line one by one and paste it one by one. So that you don’t mess up your config file.
Enable XMP or EXPO profiles of Rams:
Since the game is so huge the higher RAM frequency helps in the frame rate. So restart your pc and go into bios then find the RAM profile and enable XMP in it. If you have an amd processor then the profile name would expo And you’re done.
That’s about it after applying all of these methods you can easily see up to 40% increase in your average frame rate. But you have to make sure that your pc is capable enough to run the game without hardware support there is little to nothing you can do via tweaking software.
