Best Broken Arrow settings for the Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) (2026)

On a Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Broken Arrow runs at roughly 13 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 6FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Broken Arrow is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 13 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 13 FPS at 1080p and 8 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 4 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Broken Arrow: Large-scale modern-warfare RTS - big battles are partly CPU-bound; lower Unit Detail and Effects first.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Broken Arrow supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest free FPS boost — enable it first, especially in big battles.
Unit / Model DetailLow+12% FPS
How detailed the many on-screen units are — partly a CPU cost in large battles. High is a safe trim when the field fills up.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and range — heavy across a big map. High is a strong step down from Ultra.
Effects / ExplosionsLow+9% FPS
Explosions, smoke and tracer effects — these tank FPS in heavy firefights. Medium smooths the worst dips.
Terrain & FoliageLow+7% FPS
Ground detail and vegetation density. High is fine; lower it for frames on weaker GPUs.
Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. TAA gives a softer image; SMAA is sharper but shimmers on the zoomed-out map.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.
