Why Call of Duty: Warzone is demanding
The graphics requirement for Call of Duty: Warzone is light. Hardware around NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580 - DirectX 12.0 compatible system is enough, so Call of Duty: Warzone runs on machines never bought for gaming. Budget around 125 GB of storage for Call of Duty: Warzone. System memory expectations are modest at 12 GB. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. DirectX 12 is named, so Call of Duty: Warzone expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Call of Duty: Warzone at the floor and Call of Duty: Warzone at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Call of Duty: Warzone?
Free up space before installing Call of Duty: Warzone: it needs roughly 125 GB. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960 or AMD Radeon™ RX 470 - DirectX 12.0 compatible system and 8 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Call of Duty: Warzone needs about 125 GB of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.89x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.06x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.47x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
