Best Phantom Blade Zero settings for the Intel Arc 140V (iGPU) (2026)

On a Intel Arc 140V (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Phantom Blade Zero runs at roughly 63 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 28FPS 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 Phantom Blade Zero is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 63 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 28 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 63 FPS at 1080p and 43 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 24 FPS at 4K. Phantom Blade Zero offers ray tracing, but the Intel Arc 140V (iGPU) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Phantom Blade Zero at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Phantom Blade Zero: Unreal Engine 5 - turn off ray tracing and lower Lumen GI first for high frame rates.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Phantom Blade Zero (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Effectively required at 1440p and up - enable it first.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced lighting and reflections. Stunning but brutally heavy on a fast action game - keep Off unless you have DLSS + Frame Gen on.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Low+16% FPS
Software Lumen bounce lighting - the heaviest non-RT setting. High over Epic is a big saving with little visible loss.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Epic while running faster.
Reflections (Lumen)Medium+4% FPS
Reflections on blades, water and wet surfaces. Medium/High is plenty.
Effects QualityMedium+3% FPS
Combat sparks and ability effects - a real cost in this fast, flashy combat. High keeps fights smooth.
Foliage QualityMedium+2% FPS
Grass and plant density. Mild visual loss when lowered.
Post ProcessingMedium+2% FPS
Motion blur, bloom and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM. High for 8GB cards, Epic for 12GB+.
