Best Arma Reforger settings for the Intel Arc A380 (2026)

On a Intel Arc A380 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Arma Reforger runs at roughly 62 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 Arma Reforger 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 29 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 46 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 26 FPS at 4K. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Arma Reforger 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.

💡 Arma Reforger: Enfusion engine - heavily CPU-bound on full servers; View Distance is by far the biggest lever.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Reforger supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest GPU-side gain — though on full servers your CPU is usually the real limit.
View DistanceLow+16% FPS
How far the huge map renders (plus a separate Object Draw Distance). By far the heaviest setting, and it leans hard on the CPU — lowering it is the best fix for low FPS on populated servers.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow resolution and range across open terrain. High is a big saving over Ultra for little visible loss.
Grass QualityMedium+5% FPS
Grass density and detail. Costly, and lower settings stop tall grass hiding prone players up close — one of the biggest FPS gains.
Environment QualityMedium+4% FPS
Sky, cloud and atmosphere detail. Surprisingly costly — a cheap, near-invisible saving on the ground.
Effects QualityMedium+3% FPS
Smoke and explosions. Drops most in firefights — lower it to stay steady.
Anti-AliasingLow+2% FPS
Edge smoothing. Dropping it (with Environment Quality) can recover 20+ FPS with little loss of enemy visibility.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High rather than Ultra.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
