War Thunder on GeForce RTX 2070
Yes. The GeForce RTX 2070 is well above War Thunder's recommended spec. We estimate ~122 fps at 1080p high (range 86–159, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~86 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 208 | 146 | 87 |
| medium | 159 | 111 | 67 |
| high | 122 | 86 | 51 |
| ultra | 98 | 69 | 41 |
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: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: medium preset
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 2070 back.
- Processor needed for ~122 fps: Ryzen 9 5950X or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 5 3600): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 122.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 2070: 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.
