Best Gothic 1 Remake settings for the Intel Iris Xe (96EU — 11th/12th Gen laptop) (2026)

On a Intel Iris Xe (96EU — 11th/12th Gen laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Gothic 1 Remake runs at roughly 29 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 12FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Iris Xe (96EU — 11th/12th Gen laptop) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Gothic 1 Remake 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 29 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 12 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 29 FPS at 1080p and 18 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 10 FPS at 4K. Gothic 1 Remake offers ray tracing, but the Intel Iris Xe (96EU — 11th/12th Gen laptop) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Gothic 1 Remake 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.

💡 Gothic 1 Remake: Unreal Engine 5 (Lumen) - upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up; turn off ray-traced lighting first for a big FPS gain.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Built on Unreal Engine 5 with DLSS, FSR and XeSS support. On this engine upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up — turn it on first for a big FPS boost.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Offsaves FPS
UE5.4 Lumen indirect/bounce lighting — gorgeous, natural lighting across the Khorinis valley, but the single most demanding option here. High preserves most of the look; pair it with upscaling on mid-range cards.
View DistanceLow+13% FPS
How far the open world renders in full detail. Heavy, and it leans on the CPU too — lowering it causes mild pop-in on distant cliffs and buildings.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Epic across the colony while running noticeably faster.
Vegetation / FoliageLow+10% FPS
Density of the grass, trees and undergrowth that blanket the valley. Costly — Medium/High is an easy, near-invisible saving in motion.
Effects QualityLow+7% FPS
Magic, fire and weather particles. Drops most during spell-heavy fights — exactly when you want the frames.
Post ProcessingLow+6% FPS
Bloom, depth of field and lens effects. Low is a cheap, clean win with little visible loss.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows where surfaces meet. Subtle — a safe setting to lower.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High rather than Epic to avoid stutter.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground and path textures sharp into the distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
