Best South of Midnight settings for the AMD Radeon 610M (Ryzen 7020 iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon 610M (Ryzen 7020 iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), South of Midnight runs at roughly 17 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 7FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Radeon 610M (Ryzen 7020 iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and South of Midnight is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 17 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 7 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 17 FPS at 1080p and 10 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 6 FPS at 4K. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in South of Midnight at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
