Best Ready or Not settings for Intel Arc (Meteor Lake)
Recommended at 1080p: expect 32–56 FPS after applying the playbook below. Your Intel Arc (Meteor Lake) is the limiting factor in Ready or Not.
At 1080p, Ready or Not'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.

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 Intel Arc (Meteor Lake)
The Intel Arc (Meteor Lake) (2023 release, 4GB VRAM) is a legacy card. At 1080p in Ready or Not, 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.
Intel Arc (Meteor Lake) is showing its age in modern Ready or Not. 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.
Keep this playbook current
Ready or Not patches can shift what’s optimal overnight. Lock in auto-updates so you never lose FPS to a patch you didn’t notice.
