The best PC graphic settings for Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0
Display Settings
These settings will set up your monitor options so that they fit with the one you’re using while providing a stable refresh rate.

- Display Resolution: The best option is 1080p. If you have a monster GPU, you could try 1440p, but 1080p will provide more FPS even then. Stay away from 4K, it will tank your FPS.

View Settings
These settings will help with clarity and first-person vision when you’re in the game.

So if your goal is to have the smoothest, most competitive experience possible, then these settings will help you out.
