News - Call Of Duty: Warzone 2. 0 Gpu & Cpu Benchmark - 1080p, 1440p And 4k Tested

Still, the 1300 Hurricane remains ahead of the 7950x by a four percent margin, though it was just one percent faster when comparing one percent lows. The 7900x and 13700k are now neck and neck, while the 7700x is slightly faster than the 13600k, and the 7600x is able to basically match the core i5 processor.

Cpu, 4k minimum

Once again, at 4K resolution, we are primarily GPU limited, even with the minimum quality settings, so if you're gaming at 4K. Zen 4 and Raptor Lake will deliver comparable levels of performance based on what we're seeing here with the RTX 4090.

Gpu, test system specs

Now time for the GPU benchmarks, and we have a random assortment of GPUs because, again, I just couldn't test more given how demanding the test methods are for this title.

Gpu, 1080p ultra

Using the ultra quality preset at 1080p, we unsurprisingly find the RTX 4090 at the top of our graph, beating the RTX 4080 by a slim 12 percent margin. Due to the mostly CPU-limited test conditions, the RTX 4080 was also just 12 percent faster than the 6950. The XT is the Radeon GPU that rendered 193 FPS, making it 13 percent faster than the 6800 XT.

As we found in our previous Modern Warfare 2 testing. Radeon GPUs excel in this title, and we're seeing more of the same here, as the 6800 XT easily beat the RTX 3080 by a 13 percent margin, while the 6700 matched the RTX 3070, and then we see that both the 6600 XT and 5700 XT smoked the RTX 3060 by a 20 percent margin.

Gpu, 1440p ultra

Jumping up to 1440p affords the RTX 4090 a little more breathing room, and now the Ada Lovelace Flagship is 24 percent faster than the 4080 and 48 percent faster than the 6950 XT.

Gpu, 4k ultra

Then, at 4K resolution, the 4090 is seen to be 31 faster than the RTX 48, which is normally 60 faster than the 6950 XT.

We also see the RTX 3080 finally catching up to the 6800 XT, while the RTX 3070 did match the 6700 XT, which is the 5700 XT.

Gpu, 1080p minimum

Still roughly 20 percent faster than the RTX 3060, now with the minimum quality settings loaded, and please note the game was completely reset each time when going from the ultra to minimum or vice versa as a full game restart is required to recompile shaders and load all the settings here, we see that at 1080p the 6950 XT is actually able to match the 4080 and 4090 due to the CPU bottleneck, and in fact it was a little bit faster.

The 6800 XT also matched the average frame rate of the 40-series GPU, though the lows were still considerably lower. The 6800 XT also matched the average frame rate of the 40-series GPU, though 1 percent of the lows were considerably lower. The 6800 also matched the 40-series GPU, though 1 percent of the lows were considerably lower.

Though the lows were considerably lower, this still meant that at 1080p the 6950 XT was actually able to match the 4080 and 4090 due to the CPU bottleneck, and in fact it was a little bit faster. The 6800 XT also matched the average frame rate of the 40-series GPUs. Though the one percent lows were considerably lower, this still meant that the 6800 XT beat the RTX 3080 while the 6700 XT beat the RTX 3070, so we set the 6600 XT to 30 percent faster than the RTX 3060, while the 5700 XT was 22 percent faster, as you might expect.

Gpu, 1440p minimum

Increasing the resolution to 1440p does help to reduce the CPU bottleneck, but even so, the 4090 was unable to beat the 4080, even with the core I9 13900k.

Gpu, 4k minimum

Meanwhile, the Radeon 6000 series had no issues beating the GeForce 3000 series with the 6800 XT and the RTX 3080 by a 13-point margin, and finally, at 4K resolution, we see that the RTX 4980 is 20 faster than the 4080, while the 6950 XT was just 12 slower than the 4080. The 6800 XT was 10 faster than the RTX 3080 and the 6700.

Final thoughts

XT once again embarrassed the RTX 3060 by more than a 20-point margin, 24 in this example. After having spent so long testing War Zone 2, I really do wish I had a bit more to show off my efforts, but as I've said, that's just how it goes for these multiplayer titles now.

For testing GPUs, so graphics card testing. When testing a few CPUs, this is really a non-issue, but for 20 or more, it's just not feasible anyway for the absolute best performance in War Zone 2. Right now, the recipe is rather obvious. The core I9 1300K plus a GeForce RTX 4090 is the way to go bang for your buck, though the core i5 13600K with something like a Radeon RX 6800XT would be a killer value combo given the 1600XT can be had for under $600 these days and it is generally faster than the RTX 3080.

As I found in my 40+ GPU benchmark of Modern Warfare 2, the old Radeon RX 5700 is a weapon in this game, and nothing has changed with Warzone 2. At 1440p using the ultra quality settings, it was just three percent slower than the RTX 3070 and just 14 percent slower when using the minimum quality preset, equating to over 120 FPS on average.

Apart from the RTX 3060 being its typical disappointing self given how much it costs, the Ryzen 5 7600X was also disappointing, though certainly not to the same degree and still trailing the 13600K by a seven percent margin, which was a bit disappointing. I'm sure 7600X owners will be happy with the overall performance when GPU limitations are removed, but the 3600K is the superior performer here, and that is going to do it for this one.

If you did appreciate this article, please give it a like. It was a tremendous amount of work, very tedious, and yeah, just very time-consuming. Anyway, enough about that. You can sign up for either of those and get some very cool perks in return. We do a live stream each month. Tim and I will be doing that shortly.
