About running Call of Duty: Warzone
Call of Duty: Warzone (2020, Battle Royale) sits in the middle of the pack: comfortable on a mainstream build, tight on an old one. Minimum spec is Intel Core i3-6100 and NVIDIA GTX 960. Recommended is Intel Core i5-6600K and NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB. Memory goes from 8 GB at minimum to 12 GB recommended, and you'll want roughly 125 GB free on disk. Memory is the quiet failure here: clearing the CPU and GPU bars while sitting on the minimum RAM usually shows up as stutter rather than a low average.
How to improve Call of Duty: Warzone performance
- Close what you're not using. Browsers, chat apps and launchers sit on RAM and CPU while Call of Duty: Warzone runs. On a machine near the minimum this is usually the single biggest win available.
- Check your actual refresh rate and resolution. Running below your monitor's native resolution costs less than most people expect; running above your refresh rate buys nothing at all.
- Update the graphics driver. New releases routinely ship driver-side fixes. For a 2020 title on an older card this can be the difference between stutter and smooth.
- Put the game on an SSD. Call of Duty: Warzone wants about 125 GB. On a mechanical drive the frame rate may be fine while texture pop-in and load times are not.
- Free the memory before you launch. Windows accumulates background services that never give memory back. FixKon clears them out in one pass, which matters most when you're on 8–12 GB.
Call of Duty: Warzone requirements FAQ
- What are the minimum requirements for Call of Duty: Warzone?
- Call of Duty: Warzone lists Intel Core i3-6100 or equivalent, NVIDIA GTX 960, 8 GB of RAM and about 125 GB of storage on Windows 10 64-bit.
- Can I run Call of Duty: Warzone on a NVIDIA GTX 960?
- NVIDIA GTX 960 is the published minimum graphics card, so it should start and run — at low settings, at 1080p, and with frame dips in heavy scenes. The recommended card is NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB.
- How much RAM does Call of Duty: Warzone need?
- 8 GB is the minimum and 12 GB is recommended. Below the minimum the game will stutter or fail to launch regardless of how fast your CPU and graphics card are.
- Will Call of Duty: Warzone run better if I close background apps?
- Usually yes, and most on a PC near the minimum spec. Background processes compete for the same CPU time and memory the game needs. This is what FixKon automates.
