Best South of Midnight settings for the AMD RX 6700 (10GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 6700 (10GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), South of Midnight runs at roughly 89 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 90FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6700 (10GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 10GB of VRAM, and South of Midnight is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 89 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 89 FPS at 1080p and 72 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 South of Midnight: The stop-motion look is an art style, not a frame-rate problem - it runs smoothly.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
South of Midnight (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Enable it first - UE5 is heavy.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth (South of Midnight is UE5 but uses static lighting, not Lumen). Note: Post Processing also controls AO.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Screen-space reflections on the bayou water. High is a clean trade.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Magic and combat effects. Lowering smooths busy moments. The deliberate stop-motion frame look is a separate art choice, not a performance setting.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Plant density across the Deep South swamps. A real cost outdoors.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far detail renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
