Running a 7900 XT with an i5-14500 and 32GB DDR5 5200 at 1440p. I’m getting around 100–140 FPS on low and 80–110 on extreme, and FSR 4 Quality/Balanced barely changes anything.
I know the CPU could be a bottleneck, but I’ve seen benchmarks with similar setups hitting 160–180 FPS on high/extreme and close to 200 on low.
Am I missing something, or does this performance seem normal? Any insight appreciated!

Yup, higher frames on battlenet. I went from around 110 to around 150 by switching. Worth noting I have the same GPU as op

Doesn't matter for warzone, all of your purchases are available across the platforms because bundles are saved to your Activision account. If you bought Black ops 7 on battlenet you can't launch it from the steam version of the cod launcher, but if you've bought a bundle on battlenet, you can access it in warzone
