Best Warframe 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), Warframe runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 35FPS 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 Warframe is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 35 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 47 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 27 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Warframe (Evolution Engine) supports DLSS, FSR and its own TAA upscaler. Helpful at 4K, though the game is light overall.
Particle System QualityLow+9% FPS
Ability and weapon effects - the heaviest setting given how many abilities fly around. Medium smooths big fights.
Depth of FieldOff+3% FPS
Background blur in cutscenes. A tiny saving - off is fine.
Volumetric LightingLowbaseline
Atmospheric light shafts and fog. A solid, low-risk saving when lowered.
Shadow QualityMediumbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. Medium is a clean trade.
Local ReflectionsOnbaseline
Screen-space reflections on shiny floors. A small saving when off.
BloomOnbaseline
Glow around bright lights and effects. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps floors and distant surfaces sharp - essentially free, use 16x.
Texture MemoryHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
