How to get the best frame rate in Total War: WARHAMMER III
The publisher's minimum for Total War: WARHAMMER III is Nvidia GTX 900/AMD RX 400 series | Intel Iris Xe Graphics with Intel i3/Ryzen 3 series, and the recommended hardware is Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti/AMD RX 5600-XT/Intel Arc A750. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce RTX 2060 Super does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
Strategy and simulation games lean on the processor, especially late in a game when there is a lot to calculate. A faster graphics card will not fix a slow late game, but a faster CPU and more RAM will.
