War Thunder on Intel Iris Xe Graphics

Below minimumEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

No. The Intel Iris Xe Graphics is below War Thunder's minimum spec. Our model still estimates ~41 fps at 1080p low (range 29–53, low confidence, ±30%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB (~70 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Intel Arc card: use XeSS (native on Arc) or FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset. DLSS is not available.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Intel Iris Xe Graphics back.
Processor needed for ~31 fps: Core i3-9100F 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, ~24 fps.
