Competitive players will preferhigh frames over stunning visuals. On the other hand, casual players will want the game to look as good as possible and are not as concerned with performance metrics. This guide will cover the best graphics settings for diamond players, as well as players that prefer aesthetics over frames.
Updated on June 15, 2025 by Payton Lott:This updated article will provide betterWarzonegraphics settings for the 1984 map, which has a different look than the original Verdansk. Players will want to increase the sharpness and saturation to make the dull 1980s colors pop, and this update covers the best settings for that goal.
Additionally, Rebirth is now the clearest it has ever been. Raven fixed the lighting and it is now way easier to see from one end of the map to the other. Because of the lighting and gas changes, Rebirth players will probably want to use a different set of Nvidia settings. For those that have top of the line graphics cards, the general settings have been updated to include a few additional changes as well.
Hardware
Hardware will have an incredible impact on graphics inWarzone. Console players will want to get a next-gen console to at least have the option for higher frames, resolution, and hertz. Old generationconsoles are capped at 60 fps/120 Hz, even if their monitor allows better performance.
PC And Graphics Card
PC players will need to have a decent computer and graphics card to get the best out of the available settings. Gamers will want to get their hands onan Nvidia card,preferably a G Force RTX 3070 or 3080.There is a shortage of these cardson the market right now, so players with a 3060 should have visuals that are nearly comparable.
Monitor
Gamers on all platforms shouldgeta monitor that supports at least 144 hz. While hertz and FPS are completely separate values, a 60hz monitor will only be able to display 60 frames a second. Likewise, higher hertz will make the game look and feel smoother. Players can opt for a monitor that is anywhere between1080p and 4k. Obviously, the game will look clearer with more pixels, but frame rate will be significantly impacted. Gamers should look for a setup with 1440p capability, which is a huge upgrade from 1080p.
In-Game Settings
Settings will be slightly different for PC and Console players, but there is a lot of overlap, at least in regards to the general settings tab. Obviously, this guide will focus more on the PC settings, because there are far more options on the platform. Most players will have already tinkered with these, so the important settings affecting graphics are listed below.

General Warzone Graphics Settings
Particle lighting, shadow map resolution, and anti-aliasing will all impact frames. Gamers canturn these settings down for higher frames.However, the game will look bland without good shadows, lighting, and defined lines. Players can always experiment with the settings to find a good middle ground between maximum performance and amazing visuals at 30 frames.
Nvidia Settings
PC players should definitely take a look at their Nvidia filters if they have not already done so. Console players do not have any of the color, sharpening, and brightness settings that PC players do. This means thatPC players will have an immense visual advantage over anyone on console.
With the release ofthe updated Verdansk, and some changes to Rebirth, gamers will want to use different settings for the two modes. Verdansk was brighter and less color washed before the 1984 update. On the other hand, Rebirth’s afternoon glare and green gas hue have gone away. The new Rebirth map is well lit and clear. Both maps have essentially switched roles. For that reason,the old Nvidia settings in this article should be used on Rebirth, and the new ones are for Verdansk players.
Color
Gamers should have both tint color and tint intensity set to zero. Next, temperature should be set around negative ten. Lower temperature will allow gamers to have high saturation by increasing the color intensity to around 70-80. The color setting will make the contrasting colors pop much better than with the base settings.
Sharpen
Sharpness should be set anywhere from 50% to 70%, depending on individual preference. Sharpness settings will make objects appear more defined and help with color differentiation. Ignore film grain should be set to 100%.
Brightness/Contrast
Players should leave exposure at zero and set contrast anywhere between 50% and 60%. High contrast will make everything on the map stand out. Highlights should be set all the way to -100%, and shadows should be set low as well. Players will find that anywhere from -50% shadows to -100% will look and feel better. Finally, Gamma can be set anywhere from 0%-15% for optimal image quality.

Gamers need to keep in mind thatthe above settings will impact frame rate to some extent.The Nvidia settings are in place for aesthetic purposes, and players will need to monitor the impact on frames as they tinker with the different options. Gamers that have a good PC and monitor can get around 100 frames with the above settings, which is still manageable considering how good the game will look.
