Sons of the Forest benchmark on RTX 4070: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Sons of the Forest FPS with a RTX 4070 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 119FPS min 78Good | 95FPS min 69Good | 52FPS min 46Acceptable |
| High | 155FPS min 102Excellent | 123FPS min 90Excellent | 68FPS min 60Good |
| Medium | 203FPS min 133Excellent | 161FPS min 118Excellent | 88FPS min 77Good |
| Low | 262FPS min 172Excellent | 208FPS min 152Excellent | 114FPS min 100Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 37% | CPU 24% | GPU 18% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 4070. There is 14% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Sons of the Forest at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 4070 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 119 | 149 | 173 | 253 |
| 1440p | 95 | 128 | 157 | 218 |
| 4K | 52 | 75 | 96 | 128 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 4070 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RTX 4070 has headroom to spare in Sons of the Forest: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 4070 Enough for Sons of the Forest?
The RTX 4070 delivers 119 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Sons of the Forest. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 95 FPS and at 4K 52 FPS at Ultra quality.
