Best Pacific Drive 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), Pacific Drive runs at roughly 14 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 Pacific Drive is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 14 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 6 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 14 FPS at 1080p and 9 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 5 FPS at 4K. 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	6	14
1440p	3	9
4K	2	5

💡 Pacific Drive: Volumetric Fog is the heaviest setting - the Zone's storms are where FPS dips, so tune for the worst case.

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