The NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Sons of the Forest is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 33 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 50 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 28 FPS at 4K. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Sons of the Forest at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
