Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Total War: Warhammer III supports DLSS and FSR. A free FPS boost - but huge battles are CPU-bound, so don't expect it to fix the frame drops with thousands of units.
Unit DetailMedium+7% FPS
Detail and count on individual soldiers - the heaviest setting in big battles (and it leans on the CPU). High is the value pick over Ultra.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow resolution and range across the battlefield. High looks nearly identical to Ultra.
Water QualityLow+5% FPS
Reflections and detail on water. Medium is plenty.
Grass QualityLow+4% FPS
Battlefield grass density. A real cost in big fights - drop it for an easy win.
Tree DetailMedium+3% FPS
Tree density and detail on the battlefield. Medium is a safe trim in forested maps.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness on units and terrain - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM.
VFX DetailHighbaseline
Spells, fire and combat effects - heavy in magic-heavy battles. High keeps things smooth.
