Hi all

So my friends love this game and I hate it simply because i cant get the smooth gameplay im used to on every other game.

here are my basics;
intel I7 4790k 4ghz
MSI gtx 970
8gb ram DDR 2400mhz (one stick)
game is on a hard drive not SSD
windows 7

i thought it could be my ram, but my friends pc is as smooth as butter and his an older machine than mine and he runs 2x 4gb sticks. He also has it on his SSD which could help.

The issue issue i haveis a seem to have a solid 60fps with no drops but it just isn't smooth, like its capped at 30 fps but my in game fps says differently...even when waiting in the lobby and your soldiers are walking across the never ending bridge its choppy!

ideas appreciated

UPDATE

I upgraded to windows 10 and its allllll fine!!

My friends have been having issues with this game and they have much higher spec machines than yours. However, as an immediate thing please please please please get an SSD and getting another 8gb of ram would be handy as Warzone has a ton of stuff to load each lobby so an SSD and more RAM will help.

I would recommend moving to Win10 also, it may not resolve your issue but Win7 is old now and out of support.
 
Well i am currently moving it to my SSD to see if this helps. He does run windows 10 which might help also.

I will check back when its finished downloading again
 
HDD and 8gb would be my guess. You can very easily run that cpu at 4.3 and 4.5 should be doable with a decent cooler.
 
My boss was running a similar setup but already had 16GB of RAM. We both thought it was the CPU to be honest. He upgraded to an AMD Ryzen 3600 and 16GB Ram as well as a 2070 Super and everything is smooth again. Even with the 2070S the game would pause and stutter all the time. The CPU just doesn’t have the required power anymore.

upgrade to a Ryzen 1600AF, MSI Tomahawk Max board and 16GB of 3200Mhz ram and even with your 970 at 1080p it’ll run much smoother.
 
SSD is a must. also if you get any chopping pausing. kill the game restart the launcher. with how cheap SSDS are now no excuse really.
 
A)
i7 4790K 4.7 1.275v
Noctua NH-D15 Dell
MSI Z97 Gaming 5
Superflower 850 PSU
16GB Kingston
Gigabyte RTX 2070 Windforce X2
1xEVO 850 SSD
Gsync 144HZ 1440p

B)
i7 2600K 4.4 1.375v
Superflower 600 PSU
8GB Memory
980 GTX SC
1XEVO 840 SSD
21" Monitor

Running stutter free on both systems so for you it's either..

- Windows 7
- Only 8GB memory
- Installed/Running on a normal HD
- Have you tried VSNYC FAST?
- Try the NVIDIA Vulkan Developer Beta Driver 442.98 drivers :)

I had the same issue as you, where it felt like low fps, when the fps counter was fine. It pushed me to upgrade to Windows 10, which solved the issue. It's because Windows 7 doesn't have the option for Fullscreen, only Borderless. But upgrading to Windows 10, and that option was there for me, and it made the fps feel like it should.
 
Mine was unplayable until I moved it to an SSD and got another 8gb ram but it still doesn't seem to run smooth. This is a 2500k @ 4.1ghz and 6GB 1060, pretty much gave up trying to optimise it and moved to apex.
 
Mine stutters quite a lot with a 4770K @ 4.4GHz (HT enabled), 16GB 2400MHz RAM, 5700XT and a Crucial MX100 SSD.

The CPU usage is pretty much pegged at 100% constantly. Tonight I'm going to try to limit the FPS to 60, and maybe set the priority for the ModernWarfare.exe process to "Normal".
 
Running a Dell Precision 5520 (16gb ram, I7 7820HQ, 512gb NVME with 4gb Nvidia M1200 (cad rather than gaming) and Im running around 30fps, high settings but wound the resolution setting back a little. Occasionally itll stutter on the intro screens and very rarely but still happens when parachuting back into the game (plunder).
 
When CoD:MW first came out I had basically the same system, and it was the experience was the same. At 1080p it could hold +60fps but it was super stuttery, especially during multiplayer when there would be almost a 3-5 second lagg between me dying and respawning.

In November I upgraded to a Ryzen 7 3700X with 16GB RAM and all the stutteriness went away.

Are you still on HDD instead of SSD?

I have an I7 2600K @ 4.5GHZ = Working great!
I have an I7 4970K @ 4.7GHZ = Working great!

Not sure why people keep blaming his CPU, try overclocking it to 4.5GHZ as a tester then

i7-4790K @ 4.5ghz here. Working great too

16GB RAM, SSD, 1080Ti thought too

I'd say it's either his HD, only having 8GB memory or Windows 7!

As although both systems on mine have an SSD with Windows 10, one has 12GB the other 16GB memory :D
 
every graphical setting on warzone should be set to off or its lowest level it's not optimised at all because of low server tickrates too people forget fps can be server based too

Graphical settings do not have any effect on servers or tickrates
That would be like saying my monitor resolution is causing my ping to go up :D

It's been fine for me on multiplater with ping around 30ms. Granted Warzone lobbies get a bit laggy but this wouldn't suddenly become much less laggy if graphics settings were reduced

The only thing I have turned down graphically is "Shadows" which is on Medium. Everything else is maxed out
