Whether you are a competitive Call of Duty: Warzone player or not, you still want the game to run smoothly on your PC. If you are looking for ways on how you can maximize the game's performance on your system, then here are some tips that can help you:
Keep Your GPU Drivers Updated
It should go without saying that your graphics card drivers need to be up to date. Both AMD and NVIDIA release new drivers that include bug fixes and improvements, which is why it is always a good idea to download and update your GPU drivers when a new one is available.
For the most part, you just run the installer as administrator to update the drivers. If something goes awry or you encounter any issues, you can use Display Driver Uninstaller (aka DDU) and start over with a clean slate.

Best In-game Settings
Once you have updated your graphics card drivers, what are the next things that you should do? When you fire up Call of Duty: Warzone, head to the settings menu and set the display mode to "Fullscreen Exclusive" to ensure optimal performance and less input lag.
V-Sync, a feature that reduces screen-tearing, should be turned off, especially if your PC can handle the graphical load.

Grab a Good Monitor
Competitive first-person shooters like Call of Duty: Warzone are best enjoyed when using a monitor that has a high refresh rate. Monitors that have a 144Hz refresh rate are good enough if you are on a budget. However, if you can squeeze in some more, you can opt for a 240Hz monitor, particularly when you are running a pretty high-end graphics card.
In most cases, a 1080p display is fine. But since we are talking about getting the most out of your Call of Duty: Warzone experience, then a 1440p is highly recommended.
