Best The Forest settings for the AMD Vega 8 (Ryzen 5 2400G / 3400G iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Vega 8 (Ryzen 5 2400G / 3400G iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), The Forest runs at roughly 49 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 21FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Vega 8 (Ryzen 5 2400G / 3400G 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 playable at 1080p — about 49 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 21 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 49 FPS at 1080p and 29 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 17 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	21	49
1440p	13	29
4K	7	17

💡 The Forest: Well-optimised survival game - lower Tree/Foliage Quality first for the biggest gain.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

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 QualityLow+13% FPS

The dense forest is the heaviest setting. Lowering it is the biggest FPS gain among the trees.

Shadow QualityOff+10% FPS

Shadow resolution and range. Medium is a strong, cheap step down from High.

Draw DistanceLow+9% FPS

How far the world renders. Lowering it causes mild pop-in on distant trees.

Water QualityLow+6% FPS

Ocean and lake detail. A cheap saving with little visible loss.

Ambient OcclusionOff+4% FPS

Soft contact shadows. Cheap and subtle — safe to turn off.

Texture ResolutionHighbaseline

Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. Fine at High on most cards.

Anisotropic Textures16xbaseline

Keeps the ground sharp at distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
