Best Remnant II 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), Remnant II runs at roughly 31 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 14FPS 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 Remnant II is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 31 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 14 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 31 FPS at 1080p and 19 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 11 FPS at 4K. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Remnant II 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.
