Best ARC Raiders settings for the Intel Arc A380 (2026)

On a Intel Arc A380 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), ARC Raiders runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 26FPS 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 ARC Raiders is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 26 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 43 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 24 FPS at 4K. ARC Raiders 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 ARC Raiders 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.

💡 ARC Raiders: Unreal Engine 5 (Lumen) PvPvE shooter - turn down Lumen first; busy zones are CPU-bound.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Built on Unreal Engine 5 with DLSS, FSR and XeSS. The biggest FPS gain — turn it on first; on this engine upscaling is near-essential at 1440p and up.
Global IlluminationStatic0% FPS
Bounce lighting, with dynamic (ray-traced) tiers on capable GPUs. The single heaviest setting — Static is a large FPS gain on mid-range and laptop GPUs, at the cost of less realistic lighting.
View DistanceLow+12% FPS
How far the map and enemies render. Important in an extraction shooter for spotting threats — but heavy, and it leans on the CPU in busy zones.
ShadowsLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is a big saving over Epic with little visible difference in a firefight.
EffectsLow+8% FPS
Explosions, sparks and the ARC machines’ effects. Drops most in combat — lower it to stay smooth when it counts.
ReflectionsMedium+4% FPS
Reflection quality on water, glass and metal. High is a clean step below Epic.
FoliageMedium+4% FPS
Density of grass and cover. Costly, and competitive players often lower it so foliage hides fewer enemies.
Post-ProcessingMedium+3% FPS
Bloom, depth of field and lens effects. Low is a cheap, clean win with a clearer image.
Ambient OcclusionLow+2% FPS
Soft contact shadows in corners and under objects. Subtle — safe to lower.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 6–8GB cards keep it at High rather than Epic.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp into the distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
