Warzone 2.0 can be taxing on systems that cannot handle the higher versions of Graphic settings. This piece will look at the best graphics settings for Warzone 2.0 for high and low-end systems.

FPS games like Warzone 2.0 require much more than just mechanical skill, perfect gun loadouts, and intellect to win matches. As competitive as this game is, you will require the best system so that you can put that skill of yours to good use. Even if you have the best skills in the world, but an incapable system, your chances of winning diminish. The reverse is also true.

However, tweaking the graphic settings of the game that suits your system without overclocking it is another thing you can do to keep a balance. A lot of people are confused about what default settings they can use on their low-end PCs for better frames. This guide will shed some light on that.
