Best Valheim settings for the AMD Radeon Vega 3 (Ryzen 3000U iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon Vega 3 (Ryzen 3000U iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Valheim runs at roughly 27 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 14FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Radeon Vega 3 (Ryzen 3000U 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 27 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 14 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 27 FPS at 1080p and 16 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 9 FPS at 4K. Valheim doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	14	27
1440p	8	16
4K	5	9

💡 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.
