Best Warzone settings for RX 5700
Recommended at 1080p: expect 60–94 FPS after applying the playbook below. RX 5700 pairs cleanly with Warzone — no single component is the wall.
Your RX 5700 and Warzone are paired well — neither is the runaway bottleneck. The biggest FPS gains come from a balanced cut: drop a couple of expensive effects (shadows, volumetrics) without touching what makes the game look like Warzone.
Apply these settings in Warzone
Ranked by FPS impact for tier C hardware. Apply the high-impact ones first — top three usually account for 60% of the gain.
Single biggest FPS gain in IW 9.0 — shadow maps eat GPU memory and pass time. Drops 12–18 FPS off ultra to low without changing combat readability.
8GB is comfortable at Medium for 1080p. High will cause occasional texture pop-in mid-match.
Volumetrics (smoke, light shafts) are GPU-expensive and add no competitive info. ~7 FPS gain, no visibility cost.
Heavy on a C-tier GPU during firefights when the screen is full of effects. Low keeps frametimes stable in combat.
AMD FSR 3.1 at Quality preset gives roughly +30% FPS for a small image-quality hit. At 1080p, the upscale base is high enough that artifacts are minimal.
Free FPS, plus better tracking for moving targets. Always off in competitive setups.
Adds input lag, no benefit for an FPS title. Use a custom FPS cap (refresh × 0.97) instead if you need to control frame timing.
AMD-specific tweaks
These are in AMD Adrenalin Software.
Equivalent to Reflex on AMD. ~10–20 ms input lag reduction on supported titles.
Lowers resolution dynamically during fast motion. Helps mid-tier cards hold framerate but adds blur — tune to taste.
Caps FPS based on movement to save power. Don't use in competitive — it adds frame variance.
About the RX 5700
The RX 5700 (2019 release, 8GB VRAM) is a mid-range card. At 1080p in Warzone, the biggest FPS levers are upscaling, shadow detail, and brand-specific latency reducers (AMD Anti-Lag).
