Can the NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 8GB) run The Forest? (2026)

✅ Yes — easily

~128 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p card with 8GB of VRAM, and The Forest is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 128 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 128 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	128	128
1440p	77	77
4K	43	67

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

At 1080p expect around 128 FPS, at 1440p about 77 FPS, and at 4K roughly 67 FPS with optimized settings. The Forest doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
