I reviewed several videos and noticed consistent performance around 80-110 FPS at 1080p for both ultra and low settings using an Intel Core i7-6700 in Call of Duty Warzone with a GTX 1080. At lower settings, both CPU and GPU usage stayed under 90%, sometimes dropping below 65% simultaneously. In ultra mode, the GPU hit 95%+ while the CPU hovered near 70%. I also saw a setup with a faster 6700K and RX 5700 achieving 70-110 FPS at 1440p, with CPU usage around 60-80% and GPU near 97%-100%. Another video showed an 8700K paired with a GTX 1080 reaching about 120 FPS at 1080p, CPU around 60-80% and GPU at 97%-100%. It seems the game may perform better with more cores, even if they aren’t fully utilized, as some titles do. Benchmark data also suggests 4C/8T can match or exceed 6C/12T, though the 6700 still lags behind a 6700K or 8700K in that scenario.
