Dedicated Warzone players have some hefty appraisals to share about their experiences with Warzone 3’s performance on their PCs. A gaming enthusiast ‘Kwyn420’ noticed that despite owning a well-fitted gaming PC, the game’s framerate fluctuated between 35 to 45 frames per second on a 60Hz, 4K monitor. When switching to a 1080p monitor, the player saw no improvement.

Summary

  • ‘Kwyn420’ is not alone in experiencing this issue.
  • The Warzone community has some useful advice for fellow players.
  • The game’s performance does not improve even when the resolution is lowered.

Community quick fixes

The Warzone community is quite vocal when it comes to helping its fellow players. The user ‘TheMoustacheDad’ suggested that the RX 6600 XT GPU’s capability was being pushed to its limits at 4K resolution and that it was better suited for a 2K resolution at 80-90 fps, being that 1080p is CPU bound.

Looking at the bigger picture

Meanwhile, ‘Cutebrute’ shared a similar experience of underperformance even with a high spec build during the WZ1 days. He emphasized that the game’s successive updates outpaced the PC’s CPU and RAM, resulting in the need for an upgrade. He also implied that an RX 6600 XT at any resolution higher than 1080p wasn’t feasible. He believed that the CPU and RAM might need an upgrade, which may mean that a complete rebuild around the RX 6600 XT GPU might be necessary. You can read all about ‘Cutebrute’s’ experience here.

A common sentiment

Framerate issues seem to be a common grievance among Warzone 3 players. A fellow player, ‘RecommendationOld347’ lamented similar performance concerns, pointing out that even on the lowest settings, the game’s performance rarely crossed 60 fps. Read his full story here.

It appears that alongside the players’ experiences and the measures they’ve resorted to, Warzone 3’s performance issues could be deeper than a simple settings fix. The overwhelming consensus hints towards a possible need for a new PC build, better suited for updated games like Warzone 3, with a particular focus on a more powerful CPU and RAM.
