War Thunder in 2026 — DLSS 4.5, ray tracing, 4K consoles and bugs still being hunted
War Thunder's renderer has evolved far beyond what its age suggests: Direct3D 12, ray tracing, FSR 3.1, XeSS, DLSS 4.5, VR and 4K console versions coexist with a client still capable of running on old hardware. That range is impressive, although the 2026 patch history also shows the cost of constant technical expansion through graphics regressions, desynchronisation bugs and occasionally unreliable settings.
