Best Where Winds Meet settings for the Intel Arc A770 (16GB) (2026)

On a Intel Arc A770 (16GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Where Winds Meet runs at roughly 70 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 71FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc A770 (16GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Where Winds Meet is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), 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 57 FPS at 4K. Where Winds Meet supports ray tracing and the Intel Arc A770 (16GB) 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. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Where Winds Meet, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

1080p	71	70
1440p	43	65
4K	24	57

💡 Where Winds Meet: Unreal Engine 5 open-world wuxia - turn down Lumen first; upscaling is near-essential at 1440p and up.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — XeSSOff

Built on Unreal Engine 5 with DLSS, FSR and XeSS. The biggest FPS gain — near-essential at 1440p and up.

Global IlluminationOffsaves FPS

UE5 bounce lighting — gorgeous but the heaviest option. Lowering or disabling it is a major gain on mid-range and laptop GPUs.

Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS

Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.

View DistanceHighbaseline

How far the open world renders. Heavy and partly CPU-bound in busy towns.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

Shadow resolution and range. High is a big saving over Epic with little loss.

Vegetation QualityHighbaseline

Density of grass and trees — one of the highest-impact settings. Medium/High is an easy, near-invisible saving.

Reflection QualityMediumbaseline

Reflections on water and lacquered surfaces — a real cost across the wuxia landscapes. Medium is a clean trade.

Effects QualityHighbaseline

Combat and weather effects. Drops most in fights — lower it to stay steady.

Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline

Keeps ground textures sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
