The Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 7 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 3 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 3 | 7 |
| 1440p | 2 | 4 |
| 4K | 1 | 2 |
At 1080p expect around 7 FPS, at 1440p about 4 FPS, and at 4K roughly 2 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
