Warzone not reaching desired fps

So I've been playing warzone for a while now but want to get into it competitively. The only problem? I can't get above 110fps in game.

Computer build:

Asus Rog Strix B550 gaming-f wifi
AMD Ryzen 9 3900x W/ liquid cooler from Corsair.
EVGA FTW3 3080
Corsair Vengeance pro 64GB RAM DDR4 3200mhz (2 sticks)
Corsair 750i PSU (using approximately 550 watts)
Samsung CRG5 27" monitor (240hz)

Despite all the hours I've spent reading through Reddit and watching YouTube videos, I can't seem to find a fix. Anywhere from OC'ing my CPU and GPU, to messing with the game files and settings.
Somebody told me my CPU was bottlenecking my performance but I have it running at 4.3ghz and 1.42V evening out at about 77-79°C. Getting a good score from Cinebench R15 of about 3300 for multithreading, and about 200 for single core.

They also said my RAM could be the issue, not being at 3200mhz like it's supposed to be. So I enabled DOCP and it's now running correctly, but with only +5fps.

So if it's not my CPU, GPU, RAM, or files... what else could it be?

i just did a quick google

maybe one of these might fix your low fps
from what i've heard cod warzone with each season, the fps drops even for high end machines

Thank you for hopping on this quickly!
I did try these fixes and didn't see any improvements unfortunately.

Then i am pretty lucky, no FPS drops here.

4.3 GHz on a 3900X is probably going to bottleneck a RTX 3080 some, possibly enough to keep you around 110 FPS. Remember, today's CPUs run at 4.6 GHz or faster and have higher IPC.

you would need to OC your CPU to around 4.8-4.9GHz to match the 4.6GHz 5600X (with the 5600X at a all core OC of 4.6GHz)

ok, now that I've done some reading, OC3D.net is reporting 270 FPS using a 4 GHz 6850k CPU paired with a RTX 2080TI. Your 3900x/rtx3080 combo should be outperforming that. Now I don't think it's the CPU. My only other suggestions is clean driver installs with updated drivers? Something running in the background robbing the game of system performance?

Hello. Please please please dont look up youtube videos on how to. They all are lies except the ones that are trusted. This most definitely will solve your problem.

just a thought- you said you put your cpu to 4,300mhz but on auto it should go to 4600mhz.
i think you hindered your single thread performance and altered multicoreperf.
computerbase gets 150fps from a 3900x with 2080ti
i think warzone does not profit from more then 6 cores so disabling SMT could help too and ya can quickly test it=
=sorry just looked around and smt does not bring more or less fps in warzone so it seems

Do you know how to force it to stop?
switch off SSAO (shadows in shadows basically) gain = 15-25fps (depends)
Where do I find that setting?

I'm beginning to feel like I need to Uninstall GeForce Experience and just get all my diver updates online instead of using the app...
Also, I might be making a video to show you guys everything I've tried so I can get the best help possible.

Maybe you Optimized games with geforce experience, (or maybe it doe sit automatically). Open geforce experience, go to games, find call of duty modern warfare/warzone, click details. Observe your current settings vs the optimized settings and check if its at your native resolution. Go next to the optimize button and select custom details and make sure its at 1080p or whatever native resultion your monitor runs at.
Geforce experience can force the 3080 to render the resolution at 4k and than the monitor descale its to native resolution(1080p or 1440p?). Hence your 50-60% drop in performance.
You can also go into the game Warzone itself and change the resolution to 1920x1080 manually.. 4k=100+fps 1440p=160+fps 1080p=220+fps usually for a 3080 in warzone.
If your playing at 1440p maxxed out, than 110fps actually might be expected with a ryzen 3xxx series..There is an unusually fix for ryzen 5 series you should give a shot.
. watch the 4:00 segment for a possible fix. The amount of physical cores on a 3900x is 12.

I legitimately appreciate the effort you went through to find that. Unfortunately I'm running very low settings in 1080p and only averaging 110fps. I did find similar instructions in another video, but alas it did not fix.

Okay, frames got better with a fresh driver install. FPS went up to 150 but its inconsistent, and anytime I move my mouse or even look around in-game it slows down to about 85-95FPS. Is it possible to improve that so it can at least be 120FPS while playing? (Still on low settings btw)

Just buy a new gpu, your fps shouldnt go that low, even on low settings. I have a rtx 2070 and i can do max everything, any game and get 140 fps

what we really need in order to help is a view of hwinfo - clock speeds power draw for both cpu and gpu. Run MSI afterburner and create an osd overlay so you can create a screenshot with all that info.
GPU power draw, cpu power draw, cpu clocks speeds, gpu clock speeds, gpu voltage, ect while in warzone game.

update your rtx 3080 bios. Does gpu-z display full pci-e 16x? Or are you not running in fullscreen mode in warzone? windowed mode will detroy fps as well.

(2) Warzone Asus TUF RTX 3080 with Ryzen 9 3900x Benchmarks 1080p and 1440p on High and Low Settings - Bing video
120-140fps 1080p high with a 3900x is normal. Overclocking the 3900x should substantially increase the fps though. And since you have it watercooled you should try 4.3-4.7Ghz. Also dont forget to update the motherboard bios.

So here you go guys, I made a video showing you as much as I could, hopefully that'll help out a little bit. I know its 37 minutes long, but it has pretty much everything that I could think of in it.Warzone and system specs

bottom line is at 1080p you need a lot more cpu to get over 120fps the engine simply is not efficient enough to push insane framerates given the draw distances
contrary to popular belief just because the cpu/gpu may only be at 60% load does not mean the game is not bottle necked some ware else RAM,I/o,IPC game engine efficiency

110-120FPS on high @ 1080p is about par for a stock 3900x with a 3080

you can try playing with the render worker count
C:\Users\username\Documents\Call of Duty Modern Warfare\players\avd_options.ini

try bumping the render worker count to 3 or 4 you can also tweak the VideoMemoryScale = option to between 0.80 - 0.95 (closer to 1.0 = more vram used) but these usually only yield a handful of fps

overclocking the cpu to at least 4.4 all core and throwing some decent DDR4 3600 with tight timings or ddr4 3866 with slightly loser timings might yield some improvement but you are on the edge of what the game is capable of anyway

and I am sorry you don't need 120FPS for warzone it makes zero difference the netcode will let you down long before the frametimes are an issue ;)

none of you have any clue what you are talking about please refrain from posting until you go and do some basic research go accually watch some real world benchmarks

his system is performing about where I would expect it to on the latest warzone version no combo is going to perform exactly the same especially with the shenanigan's on vendor AMD Chipsets/bios's


there is nothing _wrong_ with his system 110-120 fps(with 20fps dips/spikes)@high and 120-140FPS@low depending on what area of the map you are in and what else is blowing up around you is exactly what I would expect out of his combo

warzone, its current version as of this writing does not run as well as some of the hardware-release benchmarks indicate go back and look at the dates on benchmark, the driver version ect ect
TLDR if you want more fps turn DLSS on, set it to performance and enjoy
the rest of you GO HOME
