On a Intel Arc B580 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Where Winds Meet runs at roughly 85 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 86FPS 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 Where Winds Meet is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 85 FPSwith 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 85 FPS at 1080p and 69 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. Where Winds Meet 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 86 | 85 |
| 1440p | 52 | 69 |
| 4K | 29 | 62 |

Use a balanced preset, keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like View Distance and Shadow Quality down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
