Best The Forest settings for the AMD RX 6700 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 6700 XT (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), The Forest runs at roughly 110 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 110FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6700 XT is a strong 1440p graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and The Forest is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs great at 1440p — about 110 FPSwith 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 183 FPS at 1080p and 110 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 The Forest: Well-optimised survival game - lower Tree/Foliage Quality first for the biggest gain.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
Render resolution scaling is the biggest GPU-side FPS lever — handy on weaker hardware, though this game already runs well on modest rigs.
Tree / Foliage QualityHighbaseline
The dense forest is the heaviest setting. Lowering it is the biggest FPS gain among the trees.
Shadow QualityMediumbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. Medium is a strong, cheap step down from High.
Draw DistanceHighbaseline
How far the world renders. Lowering it causes mild pop-in on distant trees.
Effects / Water QualityHighbaseline
Fire and water detail. A cheap saving with little visible loss.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. Fine at High on most cards.
Ambient OcclusionOnbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Cheap and subtle — safe to turn off.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps the ground sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
