On a AMD Radeon Vega 10 (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), The Forest runs at roughly 42 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 18FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD Radeon Vega 10 (iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and The Forest is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 42 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 18 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 42 FPS at 1080p and 25 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 14 FPS at 4K. 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 | 18 | 42 |
| 1440p | 11 | 25 |
| 4K | 6 | 14 |
