For some reason, COD warzone decided to run at 70 to 85 fps no matter where I am in the map and it's way worse in some areas like downtown or promenade (if you play the game you know what I'm talking about)
the most ridiculous thing is that I own a Zotac 2080 that's clocked at 2000mhz. what's even more ridiculous is that my settings are set to low or off and I'm playing on a 1080p screen at
144hz.
I've seen YouTubers and twitch streamers with 2080s and 2080ti's play this game and drop in the same areas i do and get 150 to 190 even reaching as high as 220 fps in some areas with ultra settings or at least very high settings.

here's my full specs list:
  • intel i7 4790k 4.00ghz
  • zotac 2080 amp extreme 2000mhz
  • xpg m 2 SSD 500gb m.2 + 2tb HDD
  • Kingston hyperx fury ddr3 1866MHz 16gb (2x8gb)
  • msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard
if anyone knows anything about this please let me know.
Am i being bottlenecked by my cpu? gpu?(doubt it) ram? nothing ever gets to 100% usage and all the other games run very smoothly with more than 150 fps on ultra everything.
my friends have better CPUs and newer ddr4 ram (not more ram, just faster ram) and they get on average 140 to 120 fps on ultra settings on 1080p. some even with 1080ti's or 1080s.

any feedback is appreciated. thank you
