Best Ghost of Tsushima settings for the Intel Arc A380 (2026)

On a Intel Arc A380 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Ghost of Tsushima runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 36FPS 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 Ghost of Tsushima is a moderately demanding 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 36 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 54 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 31 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	36	62
1440p	21	54
4K	12	31

🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS

Ghost of Tsushima supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A smooth port - upscaling is particularly effective here.

Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS

Shadow resolution. High is a great value pick over Very High.

Reflection QualityMedium+4% FPS

Water and surface reflections. High is clean and cheaper than Very High.

Volumetric FogMedium+3% FPS

Mist and atmospheric haze across the island. A solid, low-risk saving.

Texture QualityVery High-1% FPS

Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.

Foliage QualityHighbaseline

Grass and vegetation density - significant in the open-world fields. One of the bigger GPU costs.

Particle QualityHighbaseline

Smoke, embers and weather effects. Lowering smooths combat-heavy moments.

Depth of FieldOnbaseline

Cinematic blur on near and far objects. Cheap; many players disable it for clarity.

Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline

Keeps distant ground surfaces sharp - effectively free, use 16x.

Level of DetailHighbaseline

How far full-detail geometry renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.

Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline

Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap; DLAA is sharper but costs more.
