Total War: Warhammer III benchmark on RTX 3050: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Total War: Warhammer III FPS with a RTX 3050 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 55FPS min 48Acceptable | 37FPS min 33Acceptable | 16FPS min 14Poor |
| High | 71FPS min 62Good | 48FPS min 42Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| Medium | 93FPS min 81Good | 62FPS min 55Good | 27FPS min 24Poor |
| Low | 121FPS min 106Excellent | 80FPS min 71Good | 35FPS min 31Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 12% | GPU 41% | GPU 75% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i5-10400F downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3050. There is 22% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Total War: Warhammer III at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 3050 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 55 | 69 | 80 |
| 1440p | 37 | 50 | 61 |
| 4K | 16 | 23 | 30 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3050 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RTX 3050 is what caps the frame rate in Total War: Warhammer III. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RTX 3050 Enough for Total War: Warhammer III?
The RTX 3050 delivers 55 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Total War: Warhammer III. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 37 FPS and at 4K 16 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
