The question of the best game settings is recurrent on FPS. Here’s why we decided to share a guide for Warzone players.
Audio has always been of great importance in the various Call of Duty games, especially in Warzone.. Being able to hear an opposing player’s footsteps, a window breaking, or a door opening can easily mean the difference between victory and defeat.
In order to succeed in hearing all these sounds, you must of course know how to concentrate and listen carefully at all times, but you still need to have the right settings!
Audio settings are fundamental to spotting your opponents.
The best audio settings for Warzone
First of all, to be in the best possible conditions, it is better to favor Surround headphones.
Then it is necessary to have adequate audio settings, which allow to hear all the necessary sounds.
- Sound mixing: Treble Boost
- Volume of war music: 30%
- Music volume: 0%
- Main Volume: 80%
- Dialogue volume: 50%
- Effect volume: 100%
Most competitive gamers, whether pros or content creators, agree Treble Boost is the best audio setting. Footsteps, which are by far the most important detail to be able to hear, have a high frequency while explosions and distant gunfire have a low frequency, so Treble Boost will amplify the footsteps above all else.
The point where opinions differ is usually the volume of the music. The soundtrack of Warzone is quite pleasant, but unfortunately it does not bring any competitive advantage, quite the contrary.
Warzone’s graphics options are an important aspect of optimizing your game.
The best graphics settings
First, be aware that the vast majority of pro gamers use monitors at 144 hertz or higher. This clearly impacts visibility in a game with such a low TTK (time to kill) like Warzone.
The goal is to increase your IPS (frames per second) and minimize unnecessary visuals to more easily spot your enemies. It is therefore a question of deactivating all the unnecessary graphic options.
Here are the settings recommended by the majority of pros:
- Display mode: Full screen
- Display adapter: Select your graphics card
- Screen refresh rate: Use the value closest to what you reach in game. It all depends on your configuration.
- Render resolution: 100.
- V-Sync: Disabled.
- Frame rate limit: Unlimited
- Nvidia Highlights: Disabled
- Texture resolution: Weak
- Anisotropic texture filter: Weak
- Particle quality: Weak
- Bullet impacts and sprays: Disabled
- tessellation: Disabled
- Shadow map resolution: Weak
- Hide point shadows: Disabled
- Hide the shadows from the sun: Disabled
- Particle Lighting: Weak
- DirectX Raytracing: Disabled
- Ambient Occlusion: Disabled
- Screen space reflection: Disabled
- Anti-aliasing: Disabled
- Depth of field: Disabled
- Filmic strength: 1
- World Motion Blur: Disabled
- Weapon Motion Blur: Disabled
- Film Grain: 0
How to use NVIDIA’s DLSS in Warzone
NVIDIA’s DLSS (or Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology allows gamers with RTX graphics cards to see much higher FPS when playing Warzone. This technology was already available in Black Ops Cold War and it has arrived in Warzone since Season 3.
NVIDIA also notes that “DLSS harnesses the power of a deep learning neural network to increase frame rates and generate beautiful, crisp images for your games.In other words, the technology improves frame rates and provides a better overall viewing experience.
If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, enabling DLSS is simple. You can find it in the tab Post-treatment effects your graphics settings.
From here you can set the DLSS to Ultra Performance, Performance, Balance Where Quality.
If you see FPS drops in Verdansk ’84, we recommend setting it to Ultra Performance Where Performance. If you have a 30 series graphics card, Balance is an excellent compromise.
Controller settings can be subjective, but some remain objective on the competitive side.
