Best Grounded 2 settings for the Intel Arc A380 (2026)

On a Intel Arc A380 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Grounded 2 runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 45FPS 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 Grounded 2 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 45 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 34 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Grounded 2: UE5 - the shrunk-down backyard is all foliage, so Foliage Quality is the heaviest lever.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSQuality+35% FPS
Grounded 2 (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS and FSR — the biggest GPU win, and it tames the dense backyard foliage.
Quality PresetHighbaseline
Grounded 2's early-access menu is deliberately minimal — a single visuals preset (Low-Epic) drives nearly all detail, including the dense backyard foliage that dominates the frame cost. Granular tuning needs config-file edits.
Render Scale100%baseline
Internal render resolution on top of upscaling. Dropping below 100% is a strong FPS lever at some sharpness cost.
Anti-AliasingMediumbaseline
Edge smoothing on the tiny-scale detail. Medium keeps the yard crisp cheaply.
