War Thunder benchmark on RX 5600 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
War Thunder FPS with a RX 5600 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 132FPS min 82Excellent | 81FPS min 62Good | 31FPS min 27Acceptable |
| High | 171FPS min 106Excellent | 105FPS min 80Good | 40FPS min 35Acceptable |
| Medium | 224FPS min 139Excellent | 137FPS min 104Excellent | 52FPS min 46Acceptable |
| Low | 290FPS min 180Excellent | 177FPS min 134Excellent | 68FPS min 60Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 43% | CPU 19% | GPU 51% |
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 RX 5600 XT. There is 16% 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.
FSR 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 RX 5600 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 132 | 165 | 191 |
| 1440p | 81 | 109 | 134 |
| 4K | 31 | 45 | 57 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5600 XT has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
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 RX 5600 XT 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 RX 5600 XT Enough for War Thunder?
The RX 5600 XT delivers 132 FPS at 1080p Ultra in War Thunder. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 81 FPS and at 4K 31 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
