Ironblood on Intel HD Graphics 520

Meets minimumEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

Yes, at lower settings. The Intel HD Graphics 520 meets Ironblood's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~37 fps at 1080p high (range 26–48, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1080p, use the low preset. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce GTX 1630 (~126 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · low confidence, ±30%

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: low preset
60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
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 HD Graphics 520 back.
Processor needed for ~37 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, ~37 fps.
