War Thunder on Radeon RX 550

Below minimumEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

No. The Radeon RX 550 is below War Thunder's minimum spec. Our model still estimates ~29 fps at 1080p low (range 20–37, 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.

AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 550 back.
Processor needed for ~29 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, ~17 fps.

Video memory

Radeon RX 550: 4 GB
