Best Valheim settings for the AMD Radeon R4 (Stoney Ridge iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon R4 (Stoney Ridge iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Valheim runs at roughly 11 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 6FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Radeon R4 (Stoney Ridge iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Valheim is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 11 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 11 FPS at 1080p and 7 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 4 FPS at 4K. Valheim doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.

💡 Valheim: Runs on modest hardware, but big built-up bases tax the CPU and point lights — lower those before world detail.
Recommended settings
Vegetation QualityLow+16% FPS
Density of grass, bushes and trees across the procedural world — the heaviest GPU setting in the Meadows and Black Forest. Medium clears a lot of frames.
Draw Distance (Clutter)Low+12% FPS
How far ground clutter and world detail render. Lowering it helps most in open Plains and Ocean biomes.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. Valheim's dynamic day/night shadows are a real cost — Medium looks fine.
Anti-AliasingOff+10% FPS
TAA is cheap and clean; SSAA supersamples the whole frame and is very heavy. Stick to TAA unless you have headroom.
Point LightsLow+8% FPS
How many torches, fires and lamps cast real light at once — heavy inside a lit base. Lower it if your longhouse tanks FPS.
Point Light ShadowsOff+7% FPS
Shadows cast by torches and fires. Turning them off is a big saving in built-up bases at little visual cost.
Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)Off+4% FPS
Soft contact shadows in corners and under objects. Cheap — leave it on unless you need frames.
