Best The Outer Worlds 2 settings for the Intel Arc A370M (laptop, 4GB) (2026)

On a Intel Arc A370M (laptop, 4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), The Outer Worlds 2 runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 25FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc A370M (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and The Outer Worlds 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 25 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 41 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 23 FPS at 4K. The Outer Worlds 2 supports ray tracing and the Intel Arc A370M (laptop, 4GB) can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in The Outer Worlds 2 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.
