Sons of the Forest benchmark on RX 590: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Sons of the Forest FPS with a RX 590 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 38FPS min 34Acceptable | 24FPS min 21Poor | 10FPS min 9Unplayable |
| High | 49FPS min 43Acceptable | 32FPS min 28Acceptable | 13FPS min 12Unplayable |
| Medium | 64FPS min 56Good | 41FPS min 36Acceptable | 17FPS min 15Poor |
| Low | 83FPS min 73Good | 54FPS min 48Acceptable | 22FPS min 20Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 39% | GPU 61% | GPU 84% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 590. There is 6% 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.
FSR 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 RX 590 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 38 | 48 | 55 |
| 1440p | 24 | 32 | 40 |
| 4K | 10 | 15 | 19 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 590 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RX 590 is what caps the frame rate in Sons of the Forest. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 590 Enough for Sons of the Forest?
The RX 590 delivers 38 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Sons of the Forest. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 24 FPS and at 4K 10 FPS at Ultra quality.
