Cheers mate!

[@brazzzabr]

The best youtube warzone settings! 💥

[@TechGuides]

Much appreciated

[@FORZEFUL]

Absolutely

[@gunslinga7077]

been rocking 8 on the whe worker count on my 5800x3d, changed it to 7 yesterday to try it out and fps went up a good amount and warzone definitely felt smoother.

[@Luisitocuh12]

Will try that out too I have a 5800x3d too

[@spitfire219]

I think that the rendererworkercount should be set to 7 indeed - instead of 8 (e.g., on an Intel 12700K) since it also counts Core 0 as the first core. I’ll run more tests with these two settings and get back to you.

[@MustachedDadGaming]

I just ordered a peasant level 5700x3d and I'm super amped about it.

[@mikeyisbombable]

I had a feeling DLSS was broken yet again. Thanks for confirming

[@spitfire219]

A big Thank for your efforts (and time) to make this detailed guides, all of this years.

[@SpecialyKey]

Every time when they mess with the settings in new seasons, I check your channel for the settings. Absolutely the best settings very well explained! I appreciate your work!

[@ptkmihai]

Another thing that can heavily impact the FPS is if you play on the steam version. Steam version of big map BR can make you lose about half your FPS. Battlenet and Game Pass version don't have this same issue.

[@locoluc]

Idk why i keep on buying the steam version it’s clearly not supported enough

[@asifalavi2165]

Can confirm, i got around 50 fps difference

[@abouelrimlb]

Cheers man, COD is just always very big and very rewarding in terms of views ;) But I'm definitely covering other games as well like Battlefield and maybe also looking at GrayZone!

[@amonx3579]

Additional info: Particle resolution also affects weapon blueprint's special tracers and death effects, so if you care your effects look good, you can try high on particle resolution.

[@TechGuides]

Good info, thanks!

[@strifepack]

another tip. if you use amd FSR 1 you can also use variable rate shading which gives you a nice boost.

[@aydngenc4403]

I liked and subscribed, I'm following you

[@amonx3579]

would be very very preciated if you do this test every season update or every 2 season update because every new season we get different fps with same settings :D love your work man you are the best

[@TechGuides]

Will try to push as many updates as possible, thanks for the support!

[@arny_FPS]

One of the best video settings out there with the side by side comparisons and 1% lows. Any chance you can record some dark areas to see how to boost out the dark areas for a competitive advantage? Same for looking through windows.. Both could be a huge hit. Also, don't you post to twitter?

[@DrTopLiftDPT]

4:30 turn on amd anti lag is the equivalent

[@projectc2]

I turned this on and off and I must agre turning on works great.

[@Huey_K]

great video. but is there a possibility to pair those settings with adrenalin to get even more performance out of an amd system ?

[@aliabdelhameed8311]

glad i found this channel .. keep up the good work

[@TechGuides]

Thanks for the sub, will do!!

[@proklet4694]

Regarding the shader quality setting. If you set it to anything higher than low, the windows / glass areas start having reflections, and it is much hader to see people through them. If you keep it at low you will have a competitive advantage, since your visibility will be better. Tbh, this is very unfortunate since game looks like trash on low :(

[@arny_FPS]

Oh nice Point. Maybe this can be tested further to check visuals on dark corners and windows? Might be other settings that can help with this...

[@proklet4694]

If you go to Skyline bo6 map, the difference is very obvious. It is a good map to test that setting. I don't know if some other setting can change the situation, but I doubt it.

[@TechGuides]

I don't now if the MP experience is really 1:1 translatable to Warzone though, Ill have to test this though, thanks!

[@DavidEdwards-c4o]

@@TechGuidesI’ve noticed when I changed the settings on Warzone yesterday the setttings changed on BO6 MP also.

[@magnefix9528]

Hey bro, thank you for the detailed breakdowns and clear direct info. I have a Ryzen 5800x3D paired with a 3070 Ti. In Area 99 gpu usage is above 90 percent all of the time(1440p) but in the regular battle royale it is always between 50-60 percent which is equal to 70-80 fps. I changed rederer to 8 and 9 but doesnt change anything. Any recommandations?

[@amonx3579]

Both, sadly

[@TechGuides]

Appreciate it! These settings are specifically for Warzone. Sadly you can't have two sets of settings so to speak so what you set in Warzone also applies in MP which is not ideal...

[@jeremycarlos9853]

Great video👍🏽

[@Liid_d]

Hey man, not sure if you’ve seen but there’s a lot of videos saying that the Steam version of the game has low fps VS Xbox GamePass & Battlenet versions. I use Steam and I get around 100-140fps while playing Plunder. The weird thing is that the game doesn’t feel like it’s running at that fps; like it’s not showing the right metrics. Just wanted to let you know! Might be a good idea to test the different versions.

[@purerockets9557]

Amazing, thank you 🙏

[@TechGuides]

Thanks for watching!

[@Crispi84]

Thanks for the Video! as usual great and informative. Quick question that came to mid when you talked about Tessellation. AMD Adrenaline allows you to turn on this feature and other settings on what I assume would be driver level on a game basis, what should we be doing with these settings? turn them off and leave the game managing the whole thing? same goes for Sharpness for example. Cheers

[@TechGuides]

Hmm very strange, what settings are affected? If its just the graphics settings then you potentially made your config file write protected

[@ViewsFromTheSticks]

@ ahh so I shouldn’t have the config file as read only?

[@andr3d3co]

turn off cloud in account settings

[@TechGuides]

no dont put the config read only, that prevents any in-game changes to be saved

[@A1meesh]

You’re a beast… it’s frustrating how poorly optimized these games are

[@CLV.]

Thanks for the video! Have you tried to do this on an nvidia graphics card: set the GPUUploadHeaps parameter to off in the configuration file, and set the rBar - Feature parameter to on in the Nvidia Profile Inspector? (by the way, the Re-Bar can already be included only with the rBar - Feature string, without additional items 2:51. For example, you can look at the Starfield profile in Nvidia Profile Inspector, as done by default for it)

[@METHTICAL]

Thank you, I'll try it. I'm getting between 140-170fps atm on 13900k and 4080 super... It's been frustrating me.

[@PatrickFurse]

steam version of the game?

[@METHTICAL]

@@PatrickFurse Nah, I'm on Battlenet. I did hear that there were some issues with the Steam version.

[@brazzzabr]

any thought on yaw speed?

[@dragonsoul1465]

Hi, I like the in-depth videos on the settings you make but I encountered an anomaly and since Warzone 1 I've been playing on the Battelnet launcher and today I wanted to see if anything changed on the performance on Steam and in fact with the same settings on Battelnet I get 140 fps but on Steam 70-80fps. Do you experience this drop in fps when changing platforms?

[@TechGuides]

I dont play on steam but a friend of mine has exactly the same issue with the steam version... so Id guess its universal. Apparently disabling lobby voice chat helps

[@bloodbeats]

Hey! You said the next video would be about Upscaling/Sharpening settings. Is it still coming?

[@TechGuides]

Upscalers are currently still broken, so not much point in testing. Once they fix them I will gladly test :)

[@bloodbeats]

@ Thanks for the reply! Looking forward to it.

[@adambartels9044]

Best guid out there

[@Profetorum]

I keep getting a directX error 0x887A006, have no idea how to sort it out. Even tried on a clean windows installation, tried XMP off, no GPU tuning...nothing seems to work. Now I'm trying to manually replace the amd fidelity DLLs, will test more tomorrow...

[@TasMinosMA]

Are there any settings that have a different impact on the Area 99 map??

[@Talos969]

At 2:26 you recommend ReBAR off for Nvidia GPUs, but according to the chart the average FPS is 6% higher. Are you recommending setting it to off for the 2% lower 1% lows?

[@BBB_tyt]

I didn’t understand, we need to set shaders to medium to reach max FPS or need to set to low to reach max FPS?

[@TechGuides]

If you want max FPS set it to low. But it will look ass ;)

[@DONUTT360]

I wonder if DLSS is only working on certain systems. I have a gaming laptop RTX 4080 and Intel 13900HX. Averaged about 40 more frames with DLSS Performance on.

[@Wagamon92]

I have same specs! What fps you get? I get around 100-140 tops!… we should be able to have atleast 200 right? Our Rtx 4080m is like rtx 4070 desktop!

[@TheSouthForgot]

is the best way to cap fps still with msi afterburner? i just want as little input lag as possible not sure if in-game or nvidia limiter is better

[@jayrocs]

It might be worth revisiting the Black Ops 6 guide. I'm wondering if the Season 1 integration changed the way the settings worked for BO6 as well, I'm noticing no big FPS losses from increasing FOV in bo6 since WZ integration for instance. And since Shader Quality increases the GPU useage to almost 100% why is it a -22 in the end summary when in your specific example its +30 fps for medium overlooking military?

[@TechGuides]

I currently dont have the time Im afraid... regarding the FPS in the example: the performance flucuated a lot and I averaged over 7 runs of 10 sec each for the number in the plot

[@montasergamer4895]

Variable rate shading Make the visual noisy and film grain At 1080 So disabled it can be normal texture more visable and no noisy grain and noisy texture so whats your thoughts?

[@TechGuides]

I just compared my benchmark images with and without VRS. The difference is visible but only when zooming in a lot... I don't see any grainy textures, they are a bit blurry with VRS though!

[@montasergamer4895]

@TechGuides i get grain texture like little black spot like noisy texture Can you please give best settings for 1080 and best nvidia settings ?

[@pipotam]

a setting to gain plus 40fps is turning voice chat on and set it to party only

[@TechGuides]

Tried voice chat on or off and didnt gain a single frame. I think this is a steam client issue

[@pipotam]

@@TechGuides weird because when i set the voice chat to everyone i lose like 40 fps and when i set it to party only i gain more frames

[@ayyyyyyFashion]

Now for texture resolution, you said playing on normal would be impossible if you had 8GB if Vram. I have a 4060 8GB vram and i had no issues with playing on normal. I was playing on normal last night with no issues. Using the in game benchmark, my frame rates are basically the same playing on Normal/low/very low. My average fps is much lower compared to MW3, i played on high res and could average 190fps. Forgot what drivers i was on but i use to reach 200fps as well.

[@BPaccV]

Do you think they’ll address the overly "plastic" appearance caused by low shader quality settings? I’ve noticed this issue in multiplayer as well, particularly on the Scud map

[@TechGuides]

I really do hope so... its a shame we have to play on medium just to make the game look OK

[@BPaccV]

@@TechGuides I recently reviewed a recorded gameplay video on Scud, where I played with low shader quality in the past. Surprisingly, the visuals back then looked significantly better-there was no "plastic" effect on textures. I think the warzone integration is the cause of the quality loss.

[@TechGuides]

Oh yeah absolutely! Before BO6 shader low was just fine

[@BPaccV]

Sorry i meant Bo6 itself looked better on shader low before the season 1 update.

[@marwenbhj8914]

this s1 update threw all the work with black ops 6 into the wall, I was having 130-165 fps on multiplayer maps and 155-200 on the small maps . after the update I am only getting 130 tops and the fps in all over the place. I am using a ryzen 5900x and an RTX 3080, I was having CPU bottlneck by 20 to 40% which I solved now but performance is still bad. using the latest nvidia driver 566.14

Man idk what’s going on but I’m averaging 100fps on low and normal, and I barely even see any FPS changes on very low as well, I’ve been in my game files and changed those settings nothing seemed to change, is it because of my system?
