Best Star Wars Outlaws 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), Star Wars Outlaws runs at roughly 4 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 2FPS 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 Star Wars Outlaws 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 4 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 4 FPS at 1080p and 2 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 1 FPS at 4K. Star Wars Outlaws 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 Star Wars Outlaws 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.
