Best The Forest settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (laptop, 12GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (laptop, 12GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), The Forest runs at roughly 126 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 126FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (laptop, 12GB) 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 flies at 1440p — about 126 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 126 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 71 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS 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 — DLSSOff
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.
