Best Total War: Warhammer III settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3070 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3070 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Total War: Warhammer III runs at roughly 77 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 78FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3070 is a strong 1440p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Total War: Warhammer III is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 77 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 129 FPS at 1080p and 77 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 68 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	131	129
1440p	78	77
4K	44	68

💡 Total War: Warhammer III: Massive battles are very CPU-heavy; lower Unit Detail first.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — DLSSOff

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.

Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS

Surface sharpness on units and terrain - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM.

Unit DetailHighbaseline

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 QualityHighbaseline

Shadow resolution and range across the battlefield. High looks nearly identical to Ultra.

Grass QualityMediumbaseline

Battlefield grass density. A real cost in big fights - drop it for an easy win.

Tree DetailHighbaseline

Tree density and detail on the battlefield. Medium is a safe trim in forested maps.

VFX DetailHighbaseline

Spells, fire and combat effects - heavy in magic-heavy battles. High keeps things smooth.

Water QualityMediumbaseline

Reflections and detail on water. Medium is plenty.
