Call of Duty: Warzone has emerged as one of the largest Battle Royale style games this year. It is an immersive COD style experience, with great gunplay and a huge map stitched together from past maps. You enter the game by jumping out the back of a plane, with your squad of up to four or solo, and fight to be the last team or soldier standing. Below we highlight the differences in COD: Warzone’s performance on the current consoles and the new RTX 3090 graphics cards! To add to that we have screen recorded video in full 4K 120+ FPS from our test rig below, as well as a video from the four consoles so you can see the difference yourself!

PC - Test Results
Target Resolution: 3840x2160p
Resolution under load: 3840x2160p
FPS: 100-150
Average FPS: 110
Notes: By far the best performance, as expected. You can maintain a FPS well above 60 constantly, while utilizing ray tracing in full 4K!
PS4
Target Resolution: 1920x1080p
Resolution under load: 1920×1080 (X axis lowers resolution to 960x1080p underload)
FPS: 45-60
Average FPS: 50
Notes: Uses VSync for better image quality than Xbox One. Maintains 60 FPS target better in late game situations with less to render. Ranks as the 3rd best console.
PS4 Pro
Target Resolution: 2760x1528p
Resolution under load: 2760x1528p (X axis lowers resolution to 1920x2160p underload)
FPS: 57-60
Average FPS: 60~
Notes: Uses VSync for better image quality, which gives you the smoothest console frame rate in Warzone. Barely drops below 60 FPS ever and comes in as the 2nd best console.
Xbox One
Target Resolution: 1600x900p
Resolution under load: Not specified
FPS: 35-60
Average FPS: 44
Notes: No VSync lowering resolution since its already so low. Works best only in late game with less to render. Struggles to maintain 60FPS target only in the small Gulag area. Ranks as the 4th best console.
Xbox One X
Target Resolution: 3840x2160p
Resolution under load: 3840x2160p (X axis lowers resolution to 1920x2160p underload)
FPS: 56-60
Average FPS: 60
Notes: Clearest image out of all consoles, only slightly more frequent frame drops than PS4 Pro. But makes up for the slight drop in frames by having the highest resolution of the four. Ranks as the best console.
