Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 GPU & CPU Benchmark - 1080p, 1440p and 4K Tested In a recent YouTube video from Hardware Unboxed, they conducted a comprehensive benchmark of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, evaluating both CPU and GPU performance across various resolutions: 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. As multiplayer games often present unique challenges for benchmarking, the testing methodology was particularly detailed, focusing on several recent hardware configurations to gather insightful data.

Overview of Benchmark Testing​

Testing Setup: The benchmark involved seven CPUs and ten GPUs, utilizing two quality presets: ultra and medium. Notably, the tests were predominantly performed using NVIDIA’s RTX 4090 as the graphics card, paired with different AMD and Intel CPUs to gauge performance variations. Challenges in Testing: Multiplayer games like Warzone 2.0 can be unpredictable due to varying player actions and map dynamics. The testers had to establish a consistent landing spot in the game to minimize external variables affecting performance tracking. They noted that the game’s frame rates could fluctuate significantly depending on the number of players remaining, particularly as matches progressed.

Key Findings​

CPU Performance​

• At 1080p and ultra settings, the Intel Core i9-13900K led the pack, achieving an average of 242 FPS, marginally outperforming the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X by around 2%.
• As the resolution increased to 1440p, a GPU bottleneck became apparent, limiting frame rates even with high-end CPUs.
• Testing at 4K continued to reveal the bottlenecking effects, necessitating powerful GPUs for optimal performance.

GPU Performance​

• The RTX 4090 again showcased its dominance, exceeding 240 FPS in 1080p ultra settings and significantly outpacing other cards like the RTX 4080 and Radeon 6950 XT.
• At 1440p and 4K, the GPU capabilities were limited by CPU performance, emphasizing the importance of balanced hardware setups.

Recommendations​

• For Maximum Performance: The combination of the Core i9-13900K and an RTX 4090 is suggested for those aiming to run Warzone 2.0 at its best settings.
• Those looking for value might consider a Core i5-13600K paired with a Radeon RX 6800 XT, leveraging solid performance without breaking the bank.
