Best Path of Exile 2 settings for the Intel Arc 140V (iGPU) (2026)

On a Intel Arc 140V (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Path of Exile 2 runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 34FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc 140V (iGPU) is a handheld graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Path of Exile 2 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 34 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 46 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 26 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Path of Exile 2 supports DLSS and FSR. A strong GPU-side boost, though dense endgame maps are also CPU-heavy.
Global IlluminationMedium+4% FPS
Bounced ambient lighting. Medium frees real frames in busy scenes.
Shadow QualityMedium+4% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is a clean trade over Ultra.
Number of LightsMedium+3% FPS
How many dynamic light sources render. Low keeps only environmental lights; High adds lights on projectiles and effects — lowering helps in spell-heavy fights.
Volumetric EffectsMedium+3% FPS
Volumetric fog and skill effects, and PoE2 throws a lot of them. Lowering smooths the chaos.
Water DetailHighbaseline
Water surfaces and reflections. A small, safe saving.
Ambient OcclusionOnbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Cheap; Off for a minor gain.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
