Atomic Heart 1080p 240fps Settings for Arc B580

Dialing in Atomic Heart for a clean 1080p (Full HD) experience on the Arc B580 is about the right preset, not maxing every slider. This guide gives South African players a tested settings recipe to hold the 240-fps target at 1080p (Full HD), with the upscaler and frame-cap choices that make the difference.

Quick Answer

Reaching 240fps at 1080p (Full HD) in Atomic Heart on the Arc B580 is demanding, so lean on XeSS in Performance mode and a tuned preset rather than maxing everything. Set ray tracing off, shadows to Medium, and upscaling to Performance; that combination is what holds the 240-fps target on this card.

The Settings Recipe

This is a high target for the Arc B580, so the upscaler does the heavy lifting: set XeSS to Performance mode first. Turn ray tracing off entirely, drop shadows and volumetric fog to Medium, and reduce screen-space reflections, which are the most expensive effects at 1080p (Full HD). Keep textures high (they are nearly free with enough VRAM) and cap the frame rate at 240 so frame times stay even rather than swinging wildly.

Squeeze Out The Last Frames

Install the latest Intel Arc driver, since Arc gains real performance from driver updates more than any other card on this list and enable the driver low-latency mode for snappier input at this fps. If you are still a few frames short, drop XeSS one more step to its faster mode or lower the render resolution slightly; both are cheaper than cutting texture quality. Confirm your monitor actually runs at 240Hz in Windows, since a high target means nothing on a panel capped lower.

What This Means For SA Buyers

The Arc B580 sits in the budget bracket at around R6,500 to R8,000, and this target sits near the top of what it can do, so expect to lean on upscaling rather than native rendering. If you want this 1080p (Full HD)/240fps combo with native-quality headroom, a card one tier up is the honest recommendation, but the tuned settings above get you there on the Arc B580 today.

FAQ

Can the Arc B580 really hold 240fps at 1080p (Full HD) in this game?

With tuning, yes. With the preset above and XeSS enabled, the Arc B580 holds the 240-fps target in normal play; the tuning is what gets you there rather than the raw card alone.

Which single setting frees up the most frames?

Upscaling. Switching XeSS from native to Quality or Performance mode is the biggest single jump on the Arc B580, far more than dropping textures, which mainly costs you image sharpness.

Is the Arc B580 good value for this in South Africa?

At around R6,500 to R8,000 it is a fair budget pick, and the tuned settings make it punch above its bracket. Pair it with a matching 240Hz monitor so the frames you generate are actually displayed.
