Warzone 2.0 competitive settings

The huge landscape of Warzone 2 is loaded with little elements that anybody with a high-quality system can enjoy. If smooth frames are more important to you than graphics, you can reduce some of these parameters and still have a decent-looking environment. The best Warzone 2.0 competitive settings available to gamers are explained below.

Display settings

Fullscreen Borderless is an excellent setting for most recent games, but if you need to add a few more, going to Exclusive Fullscreen will work. V-Sync may be turned off during gaming but is preferred during menus.

Display Mode: Fullscreen Borderless
Aspect Ratio: Automatic
V-Sync (Gameplay): Off
V-Sync (Menu): Off

Quality settings

Nvidia card users will want DLSS for upscaling and sharpening, while AMD card users will demand FSR. This disables anti-aliasing, however, if none of those settings are available, set it to SMAA T2X for quality and scale. To avoid crashes, keep video memory around 85-90%.

Upscaling/Sharpening: NVIDIA DLSS/AMD FSR
Anti-Aliasing: SMAA T2X
Video Memory Scale: 85%

Settings for details and textures in Warzone 2.0

If you prioritize frames, the texture quality will consume the majority of your VRAM. You may reduce the amount of detail for this, but keep bullet impacts enabled and shader settings at medium, which results in good frames while also contributing some richness to the scene. If feasible, maintain the Distant Level of Detail at High for greater sniping clarity, thus making this a lower-priority choice. On-Demand Texture Streaming can be tweaked or turned off altogether if your connection is metered or somewhat slower. If your frames are still usable, you may set Volumetric Quality to medium for enhanced lighting.

Texture Resolution: Normal
Texture Filter Anisotropic: High
Nearby Level of Detail: Low
Distant Level of Detail: Low
Clutter Draw Distance: Short
Particle Quality: Low
Particle Quality Level: Normal
Bullet Impacts and Sprays: On
Shader Quality: Medium
Tesselation: Near
Terrain memory: Max
On-Demand Texture Streaming: On
Volumetric Quality: Medium
Deferred Physics Quality: High
Water Caustics: Off

Settings for shadows and lighting in Warzone 2.0

Shadows are infamous frame killers, so set them all to low. Spot shadow quality can be left at medium with minimal effect; otherwise, keep all of these settings as low as possible to get the most frames.

Shadow Map Resolution: Low
Screen Space Shadows: Low
Spot Shadow Quality: Medium
Spot Cache: Low
Particle Lighting: Normal
Ambient Occlusion: Static Objects(GTAO)
Screen Space Reflections: Normal
