Path of Exile 2 on Intel HD Graphics 4000
No. The Intel HD Graphics 4000 is below Path of Exile 2's minimum spec (GeForce GTX 960). Our model still estimates ~6 fps at 1080p low (range 5–7, medium confidence, ±15%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 5600 XT (~61 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

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: not reachable
- 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 4000 back.
- Processor needed for ~6 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, ~4 fps.
