Best The Outer Worlds 2 settings for the Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) (2026)

On a Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), The Outer Worlds 2 runs at roughly 18 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 7FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and The Outer Worlds 2 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 18 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 7 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 18 FPS at 1080p and 11 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 6 FPS at 4K. The Outer Worlds 2 offers ray tracing, but the Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in The Outer Worlds 2 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.
