Best God of War Ragnarök settings for the AMD Radeon Vega 8 (iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon Vega 8 (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), God of War Ragnarök runs at roughly 34 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 8 (iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and God of War Ragnarök is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 34 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 14 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 34 FPS at 1080p and 20 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 11 FPS at 4K. God of War Ragnarök offers ray tracing, but the AMD Radeon Vega 8 (iGPU) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
God of War Ragnarok supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A well-optimised port but demanding at 4K - upscaling is the biggest single gain.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced shadows and reflections - prettier but costs around 15-25 percent FPS. Keep Off unless you have headroom.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is the sweet spot - Ultra adds little for a real cost.
Reflection QualityLow+8% FPS
Surface and water reflections. Moderate cost; High is fine for most scenes.
Atmospherics QualityLow+7% FPS
Fog, mist and god-rays. A solid FPS saving with little visible loss.
Model QualityLow+7% FPS
Character and world geometry detail. High looks great without the Ultra cost.
Ambient OcclusionLow+6% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Medium is plenty for gameplay clarity.
Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
Depth of Field / Motion BlurOff+2% FPS
Cinematic post-processing bundle. Nearly free; set to taste.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. Cheap if it fits your VRAM - keep it High on 8GB+ cards.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps angled surfaces sharp - effectively free, use 16x.
