War Thunder on GeForce GTX 1070
Yes. The GeForce GTX 1070 meets War Thunder's recommended spec. We estimate ~86 fps at 1080p high (range 60–112, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~60 fps on high). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: high preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: low preset
This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1070 back.
- Processor needed for ~86 fps: Ryzen 5 3600 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 5 3600): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~86 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 1070: 8 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in War Thunder; usually the cheapest.
