To someone help you with this question, please write down your PC specs (GPU, CPU, RAM, etc)
UHD graphics card - integrated GPU? That thing is not for gaming, that's why you get such low fps.

Edit: For example, it's like bringing a toy gun to a gunfight. Don't expect to survive/win versus serious opponents. BG3 is a big and complex game with beatiful graphics and tons of small details. It needs a solid graphics card made for gaming. UHD is meant for people who work in Excel/Word etc. or watch youtube.

This game is a graphics hog. I also think it has a memory leak. You need a solid system.

At first i thought "UHD graphics card" it's just someone called his video card cause doesnt knew the model name :steamfacepalm:

But if it is realy integrated Intel GPU as @PoopPeek Lil_Poop mention, then the only hope is to lower game settings as possible and hope for best

UHD Graphics Card is a integrated graphics card. Integrated graphics cards are more like a "bundle", where the cpu acts as a gpu too Integrated graphics cards are normally meant for simple everyday use, not for gaming. Though, there are some more capable ones, but I don't think any of them is capable of running bg3 at 30fps.

this one is designed for gaming tho....I can play other games, Wow, EQ2, and Diablo 4. for instance, at ultra level graphics without any problems at all
...I know this was a common issue during the early the early days of EQ....

None of these games are demanding aside from Diablo 4 and even that game recommended requirements are lower than BG3 minimum requirements

Integrated graphics are not to spec for this game

You have to have discrete graphics (aka a physical graphics card, not onboard graphics like an APU or in this case like IrisXe or whatever intel calls it)

You need to give us better clarity on what your system specs are

what is the name of your graphic card?

Even my rig chokes quite a bit with this game. It is new and not optimized you'll just have to wait I've got a 3080 (above average bin) and it still dips under 60fps.

Messing around with the settings helps.

What is your CPU? By knowing the cpu we can estimate the performance from the integrated graphics.

16 Ram, Intel UHD 700

I looked up tests of this specific computer with baldurs gate 3 and it should still be averaging 60-90 fps

That still doesn't tell us much, but the fact that it's giving back UHD means your CPU iis only using INTEGRATED graphics, which basically means it's mean to display movies, surf the web etc, not actually play games

And where did you get this 60-90 fps bit? I just looked it up and you'll be lucky to get 20fps in The Witcher 3 on all LOW at 1080p

Go into your computer settings, click on about, and see what it actually says, because if you're only running integrated graphics, then you're going to get terrible performance

What you need is a discrete graphics card, like an Arc 770, a Radeon 6800XT or an nVidia RTX 2080 (for example)

Again, what is your CPU?

Better off, do you have a prebuilt? Laptop or desktop?
