1440p	101	101
4K	57	77

CPU-bound: in The Forest, a Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU caps you near 162 FPS regardless of graphics settings.

💡 The Forest: Well-optimised survival game - lower Tree/Foliage Quality first for the biggest gain.

At 1080p expect around 162 FPS, at 1440p about 101 FPS, and at 4K roughly 77 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for The Forest. The Forest doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
