Best War Thunder settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3070 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3070 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), War Thunder runs at roughly 112 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 112FPS 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 War Thunder is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs great at 1440p — about 112 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 158 FPS at 1080p and 112 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
War Thunder supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest FPS gain — turn it on first, especially at 1440p and up.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range over large maps. High is a strong, good-looking step down from Ultra.
Grass / Forest DensityMediumbaseline
Ground cover across the battlefield. Costly, and lower settings also stop foliage hiding tanks at range.
Effects Quality (smoke / fire)Highbaseline
Explosions and smoke — and in War Thunder, smoke tanks FPS in busy fights. Lowering it keeps you steady when it counts.
Cloud QualityHighbaseline
Volumetric cloud detail — matters most in air battles. A cheap, near-invisible saving on the ground.
Water / Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Reflections on water and vehicles. Safe to lower with little visible loss in combat.
Post FX / SSAOHighbaseline
Bloom and contact 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.
