The huge success of Battle Royale first with PUBG Mobile and then with Fortnite made no one want to be left behind and this included Activision-Blizzard and its Call of Duty, which launched their own game under the name as a complement to the main saga and as a free game. But, What is the cheapest graphics card to play Call of Duty: Warzone?
A peculiarity that Battle Royales must have is to be light in terms of requirements, since unlike other games of the genre, these take place with several dozen players in a very large area that becomes smaller and smaller . In honor of the famous Japanese film of the same name. Therefore, we do not need to have a top PC in terms of performance to be able to enjoy Call of Duty: Warzone.
The cheapest graphics card to play CoD: Warzone is…
… The RTX-3050 from NVIDIA with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory
And it’s a much better option than shooting for a GTX 1660 for two important reasons. The first of these is that in the RTX we have the possibility of using DLSS 2.0 to gain a series of additional frames per second, which is always appreciated in this type of game. The second is due to the fact that the architecture of this graphics card is superior and that currently the price difference is zero. And trust us, those extra TFLOPS are noticeable in game performance.
And what performance can I expect to get? Well, quite satisfying visually and as far as frame rate goes.
- If we play Full HD, i.e. 1920 x 1080 pixels on the screen:
- We get an average of 120 FPS with low graphics,
- On the other hand, if you activate Ray Tracing, the average remains above 80 FPS without DLSS active.
- If we activate it, it goes up until it is close to 120 FPS.
- If you play in Quad HD or 2560 x 1440 pixels:
- With low-quality graphics, it sits near 80 FPS, with continuous fluctuations between 75 FPS and just over 90.
- Surprisingly, with RTX active at this resolution, but without DLSS, it sits above 60 FPS, while with DLSS it sits north of 80 FPS.
- If you play in 4K we do not recommend this card, it is not acceptable that a game of this kind runs at less than 60 FPS and in low quality it is around 50 FPS.
- With Ray Tracing active, the frame rate drops to just over 40 frames per second.
- Ray tracing + DLSS in 4K; 60FPS.
The data is taken from a PC with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 6 core, so the RTX 3050 becomes a good graphics card for playing CoD Warzone at 1080 and 1440p, but we don’t recommend playing at 4K. The other option is to go for a GTX 1660, which lacks DLSS and achieves Full HD graphics and the same performance in low quality, but without access to DLSS.
