Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War – You Can Fix Low Framerate With This Secret Setting On PS5

November 18, 2020 by Kevin Thielenhaus

Give yourself an instant FPS boost in Black Ops Cold War with this unlabeled setting.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War might be the first Call of Duty on Playstation 5, but that doesn’t mean the game runs perfectly.

With default settings, it actually runs pretty poorly — it runs 60 FPS mostly in the campaign, but when it comes to online multiplayer or Zombies, the game drops frames constantly. It’s hardly stable, and if you’re looking for a better gameplay experience, there are two settings you can change to improve performance.

Many games on the PS5 and a performance mode and a graphics mode — but Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War doesn’t seem to have this function. This isn’t actually true. There is a setting to swap to performance mode, but it isn’t actually in the game. Yes, really.

How To Improve Framerate On PS5 | Low FPS Fix

The default settings on PS5 can cause noticeable slowdown. The game doesn’t run great — but it can be fixed with a little tweaking.

To get started, you can disable Ray Tracing to instantly improve FPS and stability.

  • How To Disable Ray Tracing:
    • Go to Settings -> Graphics -> Ray Tracing
      • Toggle to Disabled

You can also get a noticeable jump in performance by changing the settings on your PS5 console. There is a Performance Mode, but it can only be accessed through the PS5 settings.

  • How To Enable Performance Mode:
    • Go to Settings [Gear Symbol – Top-Right Corner] -> Saved Data and Game / App Settings
    • Go to the Game Presets tab -> Select ‘Performance Mode or Resolution Mode‘ and set to ‘Performance Mode‘

Setting your global settings to Performance Mode will automatically change the graphics and performance of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, even though it doesn’t appear there is actually a mode select. Why isn’t there just a mode in the game itself? No idea, but changing the settings globally really works.
