On a Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), The First Berserker: Khazan runs at roughly 9 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 The First Berserker: Khazan is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 9 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings.
