Best Where Winds Meet settings for the AMD R9 380 (4GB) (2026)

On a AMD R9 380 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Where Winds Meet runs at roughly 50 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 21FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD R9 380 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Where Winds Meet is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 50 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 21 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 50 FPS at 1080p and 30 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 17 FPS at 4K. Where Winds Meet offers ray tracing, but the AMD R9 380 (4GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Where Winds Meet at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	21	50
1440p	13	30
4K	7	17

💡 Where Winds Meet: Unreal Engine 5 open-world wuxia - turn down Lumen first; upscaling is near-essential at 1440p and up.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

Built on Unreal Engine 5 with DLSS, FSR and XeSS. The biggest FPS gain — near-essential at 1440p and up.

Global IlluminationOffsaves FPS

UE5 bounce lighting — gorgeous but the heaviest option. Lowering or disabling it is a major gain on mid-range and laptop GPUs.

View DistanceLow+12% FPS

How far the open world renders. Heavy and partly CPU-bound in busy towns.

Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS

Shadow resolution and range. High is a big saving over Epic with little loss.

Vegetation QualityLow+9% FPS

Density of grass and trees — one of the highest-impact settings. Medium/High is an easy, near-invisible saving.

Reflection QualityLow+8% FPS

Reflections on water and lacquered surfaces — a real cost across the wuxia landscapes. Medium is a clean trade.

Effects QualityLow+7% FPS

Combat and weather effects. Drops most in fights — lower it to stay steady.

Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS

Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.

Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline

Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
