Best World of Tanks settings for the NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), World of Tanks runs at roughly 128 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 128FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and World of Tanks is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it flies at 1080p — about 128 FPS with 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 128 FPS at 1080p and 77 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 67 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 World of Tanks: Scales down to very modest hardware; lower Foliage first - it also stops bushes hiding enemy tanks.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
World of Tanks renders the 3D scene below your screen resolution and upscales. The biggest GPU-side FPS lever — and competitive players favour frames over sharpness.
Foliage / Grass QualityHighbaseline
Grass and bushes across the map. Costly — and lower settings also stop foliage hiding enemy tanks at range.
Shadow QualityMediumbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. Medium is a strong, cheap step down from High.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Explosions, smoke and tracers. Drops most in big team fights — lower it to stay steady when shells are flying.
Water QualityHighbaseline
Reflection and detail on water. A cheap, near-invisible saving on most maps.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom and colour effects. Low gives a cleaner, clearer battlefield.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. Fine at High on almost any card.
Anti-AliasingLowbaseline
Smooths jagged edges. Cheap; drop it if you need frames.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps terrain sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
