What limits performance in Total War: WARHAMMER II

The graphics card, but only on older or budget hardware: any recent card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.

Graphics card (GPU)

Not a limit on most PCs

Even a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 93 FPS at 1080p.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("Intel® Core™ i5-4570 3.20GHz") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Total War: WARHAMMER II, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

1 GB min · 4 GB rec

The minimum spec lists 1 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 4 GB. On a card with less, lower texture quality first: running out of video memory shows up as stutter or blurry textures, not as a lower average.

Settings to lower first in Total War: WARHAMMER II

  1. 1Nothing, on a dedicated graphics card: even a budget card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
  2. 2On integrated graphics, lower the resolution or render scale first. Intel Iris Xe averages about 43 FPS at 1080p.
  3. 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 4 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
