Best Assassin’s Creed Valhalla settings for the Intel Arc A380 (2026)

On a Intel Arc A380 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Assassin’s Creed Valhalla runs at roughly 63 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 Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 63 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 29 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 63 FPS at 1080p and 42 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 24 FPS at 4K. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla 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.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Valhalla supports FSR and a resolution slider. The biggest GPU-side gain — though crowded settlements are CPU-bound.
World DetailLow+12% FPS
Geometry and object detail across the open world. Ultra is a heavy step over High for little gain.
ClutterLow+10% FPS
Ground objects - grass, foliage and rocks. Costly — Medium/High is an easy, near-invisible saving.
Volumetric CloudsLow+7% FPS
Cloud detail. Costly at High — Low/Medium is a cheap saving.
Shadow QualityMedium+4% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Ultra while running faster.
Water QualityMedium+2% FPS
Reflections and detail on water. Safe to lower with little visible loss.
Anti-AliasingLow+2% FPS
Edge smoothing. Low/High keeps the Viking landscapes clean cheaply.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
