Best Total War: Warhammer III settings for the RTX 4070 Laptop (2026)

On a RTX 4070 Laptop (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Total War: Warhammer III runs at roughly 102 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 103FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The RTX 4070 Laptop is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Total War: Warhammer III is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs great at 1080p — about 102 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 102 FPS at 1080p and 61 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.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	103	102
1440p	62	61
4K	35	63

💡 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.
