enCore enables players to check how their PC will handle the new graphics arriving in Update 1.0. All you have to do is choose from three presets, fine-tune resolution or anti-aliasing settings, and finally run the test. The three-minute test runs a visually stunning display of Update 1.0’s gameplay moments, highlighting principal new graphical features. Following the test, players will be provided with the result indicating a low, medium, or high-performance rating.

The new graphics engine, Core, has been in development for over 4 years and was engineered in-house. Update 1.0 will see World of Tanks PC switch to this new engine and take advantage of the latest technology for graphics processing and rendering. Core’s introduction marks a new era for World of Tanks PC with PBR, post-processing effects, advanced lighting and shading, particle effects, and a multitude of other optimization and performance-enhancing features.
