Best Dark Souls III settings for the AMD Radeon 660M (iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon 660M (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Dark Souls III runs at roughly 49 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 Radeon 660M (iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Dark Souls III is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 49 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 21 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 49 FPS at 1080p and 29 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 17 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
