Dead by Daylight on Intel Arc Graphics (Core Ultra Series 1)
Yes. The Intel Arc Graphics (Core Ultra Series 1) meets Dead by Daylight's recommended spec. We estimate ~73 fps at 1080p high (range 58–87, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the medium preset (~51 fps on high). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 124 | 87 | 52 |
| medium | 95 | 66 | 40 |
| high | 73 | 51 | 31 |
| ultra | 58 | 41 | 24 |
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: medium 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 Arc Graphics (Core Ultra Series 1) back.
- Processor needed for ~73 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU: still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~73 fps.
