What monitor for Intel Arc A310
How many frames Intel Arc A310 delivers at 1080p, 1440p and 4K in 20 popular and 9 competitive games — and which refresh rate it can really feed.
Median 25 FPS across 20 games, high settings
Median 59 FPS across 9 competitive games (medium)
Short answer
Intel Arc A310 is weak for modern games: a 1080p 60 Hz monitor and low settings (median on high is 25 FPS). In light competitive games at 1080p — up to 60 Hz. Source of the numbers: FPSHQ model estimate (not a measurement). (model accuracy)

CPU for high refresh with Intel Arc A310
At 144–360 Hz in competitive games the CPU often limits frames. Below is the Gaming Score needed so the CPU does not pull FPS under the refresh rate.
| Target | Gaming Score needed | Example CPU |
|---|---|---|
| 144 Hz | 3,810 | Core i5-8600 |
| 240 Hz | 6,350 | Core i9-12900 |
Example — the lowest-ranked catalog CPU with the required Gaming Score among models people search for.

How we calculate
FPS comes from the site-wide model: real benchmarks from our database where available, otherwise a regression fitted on thousands of benchmarks with per-game and per-GPU corrections. We use the 20 most popular games in the catalog (high settings) and 9 competitive games (medium settings), GPU-bound like on test benches.
The recommended resolution is the highest one where at least 75% of popular games run at 60+ FPS. The refresh rate is the nearest standard value (60, 75, 100, 120, 144, 165, 180, 240, 360 Hz) not above the median FPS: above it the monitor would show frames the card usually does not render.
With adaptive sync (G-Sync/FreeSync) extra refresh headroom does no harm, but you only see the difference where FPS reaches it. At 240+ Hz the CPU matters too — see the "CPU for high refresh" table.
