Best Ready or Not 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), Ready or Not 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 Ready or Not 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. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Ready or Not: Unreal Engine tactical shooter - smoke and flashbangs are the biggest FPS drain in breaches.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest single FPS gain — turn it on first; in a tense tactical shooter, steady frames matter more than a slight sharpness loss.
Shadow QualityLow+12% FPS
Shadow resolution and range — important indoors where most firefights happen. High is a big saving over Epic with little visible loss.
Effects QualityLow+9% FPS
Smoke, muzzle flash and gunfire. Smoke and flashbangs tank FPS in breaches — lowering it keeps you steady at the worst moment.
Post ProcessingLow+8% FPS
Bloom, depth of field and lens effects. Low is a cheap win and a clearer view of doorways.
Foliage / ObjectsLow+6% FPS
Detail and density of props and plants. Cheap to lower with little tactical downside on indoor maps.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows in corners. Subtle — safe to lower.
Anti-AliasingLow+3% FPS
Smooths jagged edges. Cheap; drop a notch if you need frames.
Texture QualityEpic-2% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 6–8GB cards keep it at High rather than Epic.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps floor and wall textures sharp at angles. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
