Best Sons of the Forest settings for the AMD Radeon 680M (Ryzen 6000 iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon 680M (Ryzen 6000 iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Sons of the Forest runs at roughly 57 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 23FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Radeon 680M (Ryzen 6000 iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Sons of the Forest is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 57 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 23 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 57 FPS at 1080p and 35 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 20 FPS at 4K. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Sons of the Forest 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.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	23	57
1440p	14	35
4K	8	20

💡 Sons of the Forest: Dense forests are the heaviest load and partly CPU-bound; lower Vegetation Density first.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

Supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest single FPS gain — turn it on first, especially in dense forest where the GPU works hardest.

GrassLow+14% FPS

The thick forest is the whole game — and the heaviest setting. Lowering it is the single biggest FPS gain among the trees.

Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS

Shadow resolution and range under the canopy. High is a big saving over Ultra with little visible loss.

Draw DistanceLow+10% FPS

How far the island renders. Heavy, and it leans on the CPU — lowering it causes mild pop-in on distant trees.

Fog QualityLow+7% FPS

Atmospheric fog over the island. A cheap trim for a modest FPS gain.

WaterLow+5% FPS

Ocean and lake detail. Lower it if you spend little time near the coast.

Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS

Soft contact shadows in the undergrowth. Subtle — safe to lower.

Texture ResolutionUltra-2% FPS

Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High rather than Ultra.

Anisotropic Textures16xbaseline

Keeps the ground sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
