Counter-Strike 2 on Intel Iris Xe Graphics
Yes. The Intel Iris Xe Graphics meets Counter-Strike 2's recommended spec. We estimate ~63 fps at 1080p high (range 44–82, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the low preset (~44 fps on high). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 107 | 75 | 45 |
| medium | 82 | 57 | 34 |
| high | 63 | 44 | 27 |
| ultra | 51 | 35 | 21 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: high preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: low preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
Intel Arc card: use XeSS (native on Arc) or FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset. DLSS is not available.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Intel Iris Xe Graphics back.
- Processor needed for ~63 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
