Can the Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) run Shadow of the Tomb Raider? (2026)

❌ Not really

~6 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 6 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	6
1440p	2	3
4K	1	2

💡 Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Well-optimised with DLSS; ray-traced shadows are the heaviest option - turn them off first.

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

At 1080p expect around 6 FPS, at 1440p about 3 FPS, and at 4K roughly 2 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
