Best Valheim 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), Valheim runs at roughly 76 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 76FPS 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 Valheim is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 76 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 76 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 49 FPS at 4K. Valheim doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.

💡 Valheim: Runs on modest hardware, but big built-up bases tax the CPU and point lights — lower those before world detail.
Recommended settings
Vegetation QualityHighbaseline
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)Highbaseline
How far ground clutter and world detail render. Lowering it helps most in open Plains and Ocean biomes.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. Valheim's dynamic day/night shadows are a real cost — Medium looks fine.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
TAA is cheap and clean; SSAA supersamples the whole frame and is very heavy. Stick to TAA unless you have headroom.
Point LightsHighbaseline
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 ShadowsOnbaseline
Shadows cast by torches and fires. Turning them off is a big saving in built-up bases at little visual cost.
Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)Onbaseline
Soft contact shadows in corners and under objects. Cheap — leave it on unless you need frames.
