The Intel Arc A380 is a entry-level card with 6GB of VRAM, and Alan Wake 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 56 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 19 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	19	56
1440p	11	34
4K	6	19

🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 56 FPS, at 1440p about 34 FPS, and at 4K roughly 19 FPS with optimized settings. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
