War Thunder on GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Well above recommendedEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

Yes. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is well above War Thunder's recommended spec. We estimate ~178 fps at 1080p high (range 124–231, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~124 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · low confidence, ±30%

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: high 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 2080 Ti back.
Processor needed for ~178 fps: Core i9-13900K 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 178.

Video memory

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti: 11 GB
The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
