Best Dragon’s Dogma 2 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), Dragon’s Dogma 2 runs at roughly 8 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 3FPS 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 Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 8 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 8 FPS at 1080p and 5 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 3 FPS at 4K. Dragon’s Dogma 2 offers ray tracing, but the Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Dragon’s Dogma 2 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.

1080p	3	8
1440p	2	5
4K	1	3

💡 Dragon’s Dogma 2: CPU-bound in NPC-filled towns — graphics settings barely change city FPS.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS

Dragon's Dogma 2 (RE Engine) supports DLSS and FSR plus Frame Generation. It helps, but towns are CPU-bound regardless.

Ray TracingOffsaves FPS

Replaces standard ambient-occlusion lighting with a ray-traced effect. A real cost for a subtle gain - Off is fine, especially since towns are already CPU-bound.

Shadow QualityLow+8% FPS

Shadow resolution and range. High is a clean trade.

Mesh QualityLow+6% FPS

Character and world geometry detail. High looks best; Medium for frames.

Grass / VegetationLow+6% FPS

Grass and plant density in the wilds. A real cost outdoors.

Screen Space ReflectionsLow+6% FPS

Reflections on water and wet surfaces. Medium is plenty.

Volumetric FogLow+5% FPS

Atmospheric fog and light shafts. A solid, low-risk saving.

Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS

Soft contact shadows. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.

Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS

Edge smoothing. FXAA+TAA is the cleanest option and still cheap.

Texture QualityHighbaseline

Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
