Best Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 settings for the Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) (2026)

On a Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 runs at roughly 6 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 Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 6 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 6 FPS at 1080p and 4 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 2 FPS at 4K. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 offers ray tracing, but the Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Marvel’s Spider-Man 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.

💡 Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: Fast traversal is CPU-heavy; ray tracing adds even more CPU load.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. With CPU-heavy web-swinging traversal, upscaling frees GPU headroom effectively.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections and shadows. NYC looks stunning with RT on, but it adds CPU and GPU load. Low is a good middle ground.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is the sweet spot.
Reflection QualityLow+9% FPS
Glass skyscrapers make reflections very visible. High is a solid choice.
Level of DetailLow+8% FPS
World geometry detail at distance - partly CPU-bound during fast traversal.
Crowd DensityLow+6% FPS
NPC density on city streets - CPU-bound. Lower it if you hit a CPU bottleneck during traversal.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is plenty for fast traversal.
Traffic DensityLow+5% FPS
How many cars fill the streets - CPU-bound. Lower it if you hit a CPU bottleneck.
Hair QualityLow+3% FPS
Strand detail on hair and fur in close-ups. A modest cost.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. Needs 10GB+ for Ultra - ease off on 8GB cards.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps rooftops and streets sharp at angles - effectively free, use 16x.
