On a NVIDIA RTX 3070 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), The Forest runs at roughly 131 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 131FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 3070 is a strong 1440p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and The Forest is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it flies at 1440p — about 131 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 203 FPS at 1080p and 131 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 74 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 203 | 203 |
| 1440p | 131 | 131 |
| 4K | 74 | 74 |
