Best Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands 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), Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands runs at roughly 7 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 Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 7 FPS with 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. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands 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.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS

Wildlands predates DLSS/FSR, but its render-scale slider is the biggest GPU lever — drop below 100% for a strong FPS gain at some sharpness cost.

Godrays QualityOff+20% FPS

Volumetric sun shafts through clouds and trees — notoriously the heaviest setting in Wildlands. High to Medium is a large free FPS gain.

Shadow QualityLow+13% FPS

Shadow resolution and draw distance across the huge open world. High is a big saving over Ultra.

Terrain QualityLow+10% FPS

Tessellation and detail of the ground and mountains. Ultra is costly for little gain over High.

Objects / Vegetation DetailLow+9% FPS

Density and draw distance of grass, trees and world objects across Bolivia. Medium/High smooths flying and driving.

Turf EffectsOff+7% FPS

Individually simulated grass blades that react to the player — a real cost. Off is a safe FPS win.

Ambient OcclusionOff+6% FPS

Soft contact shading. HBAO+ is the sensible middle; Ultra costs more for a subtle gain.

Anti-AliasingOff+5% FPS

Edge smoothing. SMAA is a clean, cheap default; TXAA is softer and slightly heavier.

Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS

Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. High for 6GB cards, Ultra for 8GB+.
