Best The Talos Principle: Reawakened settings for the Intel Arc A380 (2026)

On a Intel Arc A380 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), The Talos Principle: Reawakened runs at roughly 54 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 26FPS 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 The Talos Principle: Reawakened is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 54 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 26 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 54 FPS at 1080p and 33 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 19 FPS at 4K. The Talos Principle: Reawakened 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. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in The Talos Principle: Reawakened at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 The Talos Principle: Reawakened: Unreal Engine 5 remaster - upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up; turn off RT reflections and lower Lumen GI first.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
