Best The Forest settings for the AMD RX 7900 GRE (2026)

On a AMD RX 7900 GRE (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), The Forest runs at roughly 164 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 164FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 7900 GRE is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and The Forest is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it flies at 1440p — about 164 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 227 FPS at 1080p and 164 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 93 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for The Forest, so textures can stay maxed. 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.
Water QualityHighbaseline
Ocean and lake detail. A cheap saving with little visible loss.
Texture ResolutionHighbaseline
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 Textures16xbaseline
Keeps the ground sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
