The NVIDIA RTX 5060 is a mainstream 1080p card with 8GB of VRAM, and South of Midnight is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 96 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 97 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 97 | 96 |
| 1440p | 58 | 78 |
| 4K | 33 | 61 |
At 1080p expect around 96 FPS, at 1440p about 78 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 FPS with optimized settings. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. South of Midnight doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
