Best A Plague Tale: Requiem settings for the Intel Arc A380 (2026)

On a Intel Arc A380 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), A Plague Tale: Requiem runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 29FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc A380 is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and A Plague Tale: Requiem is a demanding, graphically heavy game. 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 29 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 42 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 24 FPS at 4K. A Plague Tale: Requiem supports ray tracing and the Intel Arc A380 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 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in A Plague Tale: Requiem 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.

Ray-Traced Ambient OcclusionOffsaves FPS
Adds ray-traced contact shadows. A nice touch but a real cost - keep Off for high FPS.
Shadow MapsLow+10% FPS
Shadow map resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Screen-Space ReflectionsOff+6% FPS
Reflections on water and wet surfaces. Low is plenty in the grim countryside.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS

Volumetric LightsMedium+3% FPS
Atmospheric fog and god rays - core to the look but a real cost. High is a clean trade.
Draw DistanceMedium+2% FPS
How far the world and grass render at full detail. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Anti-AliasingMedium+2% FPS
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
