Best God of War Ragnarök settings for the Intel Arc A380 (2026)

On a Intel Arc A380 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), God of War Ragnarök runs at roughly 61 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 God of War Ragnarök is a moderately demanding 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 36 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 50 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 29 FPS at 4K. God of War Ragnarök 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. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
God of War Ragnarok supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A well-optimised port but demanding at 4K - upscaling is the biggest single gain.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced shadows and reflections - prettier but costs around 15-25 percent FPS. Keep Off unless you have headroom.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is the sweet spot - Ultra adds little for a real cost.
Atmospherics QualityMedium+3% FPS
Fog, mist and god-rays. A solid FPS saving with little visible loss.
Ambient OcclusionMedium+3% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Medium is plenty for gameplay clarity.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. Cheap if it fits your VRAM - keep it High on 8GB+ cards.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Surface and water reflections. Moderate cost; High is fine for most scenes.
Model QualityHighbaseline
Character and world geometry detail. High looks great without the Ultra cost.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps angled surfaces sharp - effectively free, use 16x.
Anti-AliasingMediumbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
Depth of Field / Motion BlurOnbaseline
Cinematic post-processing bundle. Nearly free; set to taste.
