Best HLL settings for UHD Graphics 770
Recommended at 1080p: expect 24–42 FPS after applying the playbook below. Your UHD Graphics 770 is the limiting factor in HLL.
At 1080p, HLL's rendering pipeline saturates a E-tier Intel GPU before any CPU draw-call limit. Settings that reduce GPU load (shader quality, shadow detail, particle resolution, upscaling) produce the biggest FPS gains. Settings that ease CPU work (view distance, draw distance) help less.

Ranked by FPS impact for tier E hardware. Apply the high-impact ones first — top three usually account for 60% of the gain.
Intel-specific tweaks
These are in Intel Arc Control.
Intel-native upscaler with the best image quality on Arc cards. Equivalent to DLSS Quality preset.
Set per-game profiles in Arc Control with maximum performance. Arc relies more on driver-side tuning than NVIDIA/AMD.
About the UHD Graphics 770
The UHD Graphics 770 (2021 release, 4GB VRAM) is a legacy card. At 1080p in HLL, the biggest FPS levers are upscaling, shadow detail, and brand-specific latency reducers (Intel XeSS). The settings above are the floor — for a fully personalized playbook factoring CPU, RAM, and your monitor refresh rate, run BetterFPS.
UHD Graphics 770 is showing its age in modern HLL. An RTX 4060 / RX 7600 would unlock 80–120 FPS at 1080p without sacrificing visual quality. If budget allows, a 12–16GB-VRAM upgrade is the single biggest playable-FPS lever for legacy hardware.
