10fps in Warzone in lobby and in game. 3060ti gpu, Dell Tower XPS 3490

I am new to the PC world - so forgive me as I am going to ramble and I might be over the place.

I recently purchased a prebuilt PC from Costco - Dell XPS 8940 (3060ti, 32 GB RAM, i7-11700) and I have been having some crazy issues with gameplay.

For starters - when playing WoW I had to change my Graphics API from DirectX 12 to DirectX 11 because my FPS was dropping to 10... that fixed it and now it's running fine. Took me two hours through boards to find out.

Now, I am having the same issue with Warzone.. Except there isn't a Graphics API option to change. When I am in the pre-menu I get a steady FPS, but it's once I enter the lobby or go to play a match I get only 10 FPS.

My loophole/temp fix: I have to turn off VSync and set a custom frame rate. Then I make everything 30, which then gives me a 30FPS locked in lobby and in game.

My monitor is a 240Hz curved Samsung - display settings are set to 240Hz. I do have another monitor, but that shouldn't impede, right? I've gone in the Nvidia Control Panel and made the recommended changes. I've changed Warzone to run "High Performance". There is no XMP in BIOS settings - looked into that. Went into Registry Editor and changed the inputs to "0". Updated the drivers.

I am seriously lost.

Anyone been through this or have any other tips?

Welcome to CoDForums @jspice

The second monitor should not impact game performance if you have set your game to run on the primary monitor.

Your setup should easily return more than 30fps at 1920*1080, I am certain your system is capable of more than that at 2560*1440 too.

If you're getting a rock solid 30fps then that would suggest you have some sort of settings issue. Frame rate are usually variable depending on how much is being rendered at any given moment.

VSync should definitely be off on the in change settings, check it is off in the driver settings from within Windows.

Download and install GeForce Experience from the nVidia website then try running the suggested settings and adjusting the balance slider to see the difference between quality and performance options so you can pick what's right for you.

To me it sounds like a settings issue with your drivers and not in game settings. Google or look on YouTube for best settings for CoD on a 3060ti and follow the advice of you would prefer to do it yourself without the automatic settings the GeForce Experience offers.
