Best Dune: Awakening settings for the Intel Arc B580 (2026)

On a Intel Arc B580 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Dune: Awakening runs at roughly 79 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 80FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc B580 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Dune: Awakening is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 79 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 79 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 FPS at 4K. Dune: Awakening supports ray tracing and the Intel Arc B580 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. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSOff
Dune: Awakening (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Practically required in the vast open desert.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections and lighting. Heavy in a survival MMO - keep Off for steady frames in busy hubs.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. Ease off on 8GB cards.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Highbaseline
Software Lumen bounce lighting - the heaviest non-RT setting. High over Epic frees real FPS.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the open desert renders - a real cost given the huge sightlines on Arrakis. High is a clean trade.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Sandstorms, blasts and weather effects - heavy during storms. Lowering smooths them a lot.
Reflections QualityHighbaseline
Reflection detail on glass, metal and equipment. High is a clean step below Epic.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Rock and sparse plant detail across the dunes. A small, safe gain when lowered.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom, heat haze and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
