1080p	9	21
1440p	5	13
4K	3	7

💡 War Thunder: Dagor engine - smoke effects are the biggest FPS drain in battle, and big matches can be CPU-bound.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

War Thunder supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest FPS gain — turn it on first, especially at 1440p and up.

Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS

Shadow resolution and range over large maps. High is a strong, good-looking step down from Ultra.

Grass RangeOff+9% FPS

Density and render distance of grass. Costly, and lower settings also stop foliage hiding tanks at range.

Particle DensityLow+8% FPS

Explosion embers, sparks and smoke — and in War Thunder, smoke tanks FPS in busy fights. Lowering it keeps you steady when it counts.

Cloud QualityLow+7% FPS

Volumetric cloud detail — matters most in air battles. A cheap, near-invisible saving on the ground.

Water QualityLow+6% FPS

Water detail and the quality of reflections on its surface. Safe to lower with little visible loss in combat.

SSAOLow+4% FPS

Screen-space ambient occlusion — soft contact shadows (also enables small-object shadows). Low is a cheap, clean win.

Texture QualityHighbaseline

Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. Fine at High on most cards.

Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline

Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
