Best Shadows of Doubt settings for the Intel Arc A380 (2026)

On a Intel Arc A380 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Shadows of Doubt runs at roughly 77 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 57FPS 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 Shadows of Doubt is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 77 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 57 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 77 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 36 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

1080p	57	77
1440p	34	62
4K	19	36

💡 Shadows of Doubt: The citizen simulation is CPU-bound - graphics settings mostly tame the fog and neon, not the sim itself.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Upscaling — XeSSQuality+35% FPS

The voxel-noir art style hides a lower internal resolution well. But note: this game’s biggest cost is its citizen simulation on the CPU, which no graphics setting fixes.

Graphics QualityHighbaseline

The master quality preset. Shadows of Doubt (Unity HDRP) has a deliberately limited menu - this drives the fog, shadows and lighting together, since the game's ray tracing / reflections / AO are largely baked and not individually toggleable.

Post Processing (Bloom / Grain)Highbaseline

The film-noir grain and neon bloom. Cheap to lower if you prefer a cleaner image anyway.

Texture QualityHighbaseline
