Can the AMD RX 460 (4GB) run Sons of the Forest? (2026)

👍 Yes, with tuned settings

~45 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The AMD RX 460 (4GB) is a entry-level card with 4GB 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 45 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 18 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	18	45
1440p	11	27
4K	6	16

💡 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 45 FPS, at 1440p about 27 FPS, and at 4K roughly 16 FPS with optimized settings. With only 4GB 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.
