War Thunder
War Thunder Performance Tips
Stutter and frame drops ruin timing in War Thunder. These practical PC tweaks help keep sessions smooth on Windows.
Graphics settings that matter
Lower shadow quality, volumetrics, and anti-aliasing first — they often cost the most FPS in War Thunder.
Use fullscreen borderless when you alt-tab often; exclusive fullscreen can win a few extra frames on some rigs.
Drivers and background apps
Update GPU drivers after major War Thunder patches and disable overlays you do not need.
Close browser tabs, capture tools, and RGB suites that hook into the game process during ranked play.
Measuring real gains
Track average FPS and 1% lows — a higher average means little if spikes still hit during fights.
Change one setting at a time so you know what actually helped instead of guessing from vague feel.
