Enable Multicore Rendering (this will set mat_queue_mode 2).

I play on a i5 with a HD 520, it is possible that with a Iris Pro on an i7 you can play the native resolution at good FPS so really go figure yourself what works for you. Rule of thumb: Just try some resolutions and stick with the Comfortable FPS + Most visibility one. Use a low resolution, pretty much all laptops are CPU limited due to power limit or thermal throttling.ġ024x768 works well but if you prefer more visibility try 1152x864 for the sake of a few FPS.Įven if 4:3 resolutions are a disadvantage (lower field of view) it has to render less pixles and this it most likely will improve the FPS. Also since Windows 10 all power plans are derived from the Balanced Mode, if you have the power slider available (the slider when clicking the battery tray icon). If you run too hot you risk getting power limit or thermal throttled which is counter-productive. * = You can try to use "Maximum Performance" but I prefer balanced as it does not heat up the Laptop as much and still delivers the highest clock rates ingame when required. Select Change "Settings for the Plan: Balanced Mode"Įnable Panel Self Refresh (disable it if you get occasional display flickering!) Note for PCs: Just set to Maximum Performance Note: The 3D Tab can be pretty much ignored as any setting should be at "Application default" by default and "Application Optimal Mode" does not really make a difference, just leave it on. Right click on the desktop and open Intel Graphics Settings If everything worked you should have a "Intel Graphics Settings" menu entry when doing a right click on the desktop.

exe, this one is extracable too by using 7-Zip). Go to the Intel Download Center and download the correct driver for your CPU/GPU. You want to get rid of that one and use the latest official Intel driver. Many Laptop OEMs use a customized Intel video driver which is tweaked towards battery saving.
