Can the AMD Radeon Vega 3 (Ryzen 3000U iGPU) run Sons of the Forest? (2026)

❌ Not really

~14 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The AMD Radeon Vega 3 (Ryzen 3000U iGPU) is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and Sons of the Forest is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 14 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 6 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	6	14
1440p	3	9
4K	2	5

💡 Sons of the Forest: Dense forests are the heaviest load and partly CPU-bound; lower Vegetation Density first.

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

At 1080p expect around 14 FPS, at 1440p about 9 FPS, and at 4K roughly 5 FPS with optimized settings. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
