War Thunder benchmark on RTX 2060 12GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
War Thunder FPS with a RTX 2060 12GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 166FPS min 96Excellent | 110FPS min 75Good | 43FPS min 38Acceptable |
| High | 216FPS min 125Excellent | 144FPS min 98Excellent | 56FPS min 49Acceptable |
| Medium | 283FPS min 164Excellent | 188FPS min 128Excellent | 74FPS min 65Good |
| Low | 366FPS min 212Excellent | 243FPS min 165Excellent | 95FPS min 84Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 50% | CPU 33% | GPU 30% |
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 i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 2060 12GB. There is 12% 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 War Thunder 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 2060 12GB with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 166 | 208 | 241 |
| 1440p | 110 | 149 | 182 |
| 4K | 43 | 62 | 80 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 2060 12GB 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.
With that CPU, the RTX 2060 12GB has headroom to spare in War Thunder: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 2060 12GB Enough for War Thunder?
The RTX 2060 12GB delivers 166 FPS at 1080p Ultra in War Thunder. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 110 FPS and at 4K 43 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
