Caldera can look stunning, provided you have the right graphics settings. But what are the best graphics settings for Warzone Pacific on PC?
Warzone's new Pacific map is finally here - Caldera. It really does look as beautiful as the promotional material boasted...provided you have the right settings. The trick is in choosing the right options to maintain a good resolution while keeping your frame rate as high as possible.
Note: This guide is for PC users, on console, you don't have these options, so you can't boost your frame rate.
What Are The Best Settings For Caldera?
Graphics
Display
- Display Mode - Fullscreen (This will guarantee the best frames, but you might be able to reach your monitor's max capability and still play in the windowed mode if you want)
- Screen Refresh Rate - Set this to exactly what your monitor is, no less or more.
- Dynamic Resolution - Disabled (it will lower resolution for frames)
- Sync Every Frame (V-Sync) - Disabled (counterintuitively, this is well worth turning off)
- Framerate Limit - Disabled (Unless you want to avoid overclocking hardware)
- NVIDIA Reflex Low Latancy - Enabled + Boost (Obviously if you don't have an NVIDIA card then this doesn't apply to you).
Quality
- Texture Resolution - Low
- Bullet Impacts & Sprays - Disabled (A lot of you might really dislike how the game feels once you've disabled this, but it will help your frame rate ever so slightly)
- Dismemberment & Gore Effects - Disabled
- On-Demand Texture Streaming - Disabled (Prevents packet-burst)
- Post-processing Effects - All disabled / Set to 0
- Raytracing disabled
Interface
There's an interface change that we're including, even though it doesn't directly boost your frame rate. Making the beneath settings changes to the heads-up-display will allow you to maintain awareness on the situation around you while checking the HUD more fluidly.
HUD
- Horizontal Heads-Up Display (HUD) Bounds - 100
- Vertical Heads-Up Display (HUD) Bounds - 100
And with those settings changes you should find yourself with the highest frame rate in Caldera that your PC can handle.
