On a AMD Radeon Vega 7 (iGPU) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), South of Midnight runs at roughly 28 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 11FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD Radeon Vega 7 (iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and South of Midnight is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 28 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 11 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 28 FPS at 1080p and 17 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 10 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 11 | 28 |
| 1440p | 6 | 17 |
| 4K | 4 | 10 |
