War Thunder
War Thunder is a free-to-play vehicular combat multiplayer game that focuses on historical battles across World War II and the Cold War. Developed by Gaijin Entertainment, it features a wide range of aircraft, tanks, and naval vessels from various nations. Players can participate in large-scale battles with other players, completing objectives and striving for victory.
Our last game before we look at ray tracing performance is War Thunder, and this is the point where we actually see the 5060 Ti performing its best, beating not only the 3060 Ti and 4060 Ti with 43% and 29% more frames respectively, but we also see performance matching what we see from the 3080 10GB and the RTX 4070, and beating cards like the RX 9070 and RX 7900 GRE along the way.
1440p brings us back down to earth a little bit, with lower performance jumps over the last generations offerings with 34% more performance than the 3060 Ti and 23% more than the 4060 Ti, which is still a decent generational uplift. We do also see performance improvements over the 3070 Ti here but only by around 2%, and is less than I’d hoped for from a card two generations newer.
