On a AMD RX 9070 XT (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 7 9700X-class CPU), War Thunder runs at roughly 98 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 98FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 9070 XT is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and War Thunder is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, it runs great at 4K — about 98 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 179 FPS at 1080p and 174 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 98 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for War Thunder, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 179 | 179 |
| 1440p | 174 | 174 |
| 4K | 98 | 98 |
