Best Pragmata 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), Pragmata runs at roughly 7 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 Pragmata is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 7 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 7 FPS at 1080p and 4 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 2 FPS at 4K. Pragmata offers ray tracing, but the Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

1080p	3	7
1440p	2	4
4K	1	2

💡 Pragmata: Capcom RE Engine sci-fi title - ray tracing is the heaviest setting; pair it with upscaling or keep it Off.

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

Recommended settings

Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS

Pragmata runs on Capcom's RE Engine, which ships with FSR and DLSS. A near-free FPS boost - enable it first, especially with ray tracing on.

Ray TracingOffsaves FPS

Ray-traced reflections and lighting across the game's glossy sci-fi surfaces. Beautiful but the single heaviest setting - keep Off for high FPS, or pair with upscaling.

Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS

Shadow resolution and draw distance. High is the value pick over Max.

Mesh QualityLow+7% FPS

Geometry detail on characters and the station environments. High looks great; Medium for frames.

Volumetric LightingLow+7% FPS

Atmospheric light shafts and haze - a real cost in the moody sci-fi corridors. Medium is a clean trade.

Screen Space ReflectionsOff+5% FPS

Reflections on metal and glass when ray tracing is off. A small saving when disabled.

Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS

Soft contact shadows that add depth. SSAO is a cheap, good-looking option.

Subsurface ScatteringOff+4% FPS

Realistic light through skin. Cheap; leave On for the close-up cutscenes.

Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS

Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.

Texture QualityMax-1% FPS

RE Engine textures are VRAM-hungry and the menu shows an estimate. On 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Max, to avoid stutter.
