The NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) is a mainstream 1080p card with 12GB of VRAM, and Sons of the Forest is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 74 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 75 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 75 | 74 |
| 1440p | 45 | 69 |
| 4K | 26 | 61 |
At 1080p expect around 74 FPS, at 1440p about 69 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 FPS with optimized settings. Sons of the Forest doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
