Best Mafia II: Definitive Edition settings for the Intel Arc A380 (2026)

On a Intel Arc A380 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Mafia II: Definitive Edition runs at roughly 70 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 70FPS 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 Mafia II: Definitive Edition is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 70 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 70 FPS at 1080p and 65 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 51 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	70	70
1440p	42	65
4K	24	51

💡 Mafia II: Definitive Edition: Older remaster - runs easily; watch APEX PhysX on AMD cards (it runs on the CPU there).

Recommended settings

Upscaling — XeSSOff

Render resolution scaling is the biggest GPU-side lever — though this remaster runs easily on modern hardware.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

Shadow resolution and range — the heaviest setting here. Medium is barely different from High while running faster.

Geometry DetailHighbaseline

World and object detail. High is fine on most cards; lower it only if you need frames.

APEX PhysX DetailMediumbaseline

Cloth, debris and particle physics — can tank FPS on AMD cards (it runs on the CPU there). Off or Medium is safest.

Anti-Aliasing2xbaseline

Smooths jagged edges — higher levels (MSAA) get expensive. 2x is a good balance.

Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline

Keeps road and building textures sharp at angles. Cheap — 16x is fine.

Texture QualityHighbaseline

Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
