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.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Spells, fire and combat effects - heavy in magic-heavy battles. High keeps things smooth.
Water QualityMediumbaseline
Reflections and detail on water. Medium is plenty.
