Recommended Graphics Settings

[Stainless]

Hi all, Ive been trying to get a smooth framerate in game and im struggling to acheive that.. So id kindly like to ask you all for help. Ill post my specs below. Ive force enabled SLI by setting up a profile in NVIDIA control panel, and it seems to work with the "frame rendering 2" setting. It seems as though at night the game slows down a lot with the introduction of lots of camp fires etc.

Current settings for The Forest: Note, during the day this setting plays 60fps no sweat at all.

Some advice for optimal settings in game from someone else who runs SLI would be awesome.

Cheers in advance.

SLI is not supported (YET) in this game. Other then that you should be fine running on ultra.

try putting ssao on high in stead of ultra
that helped me, you never know :)

[bLunT]

also depth of field, they said in patch notes not to use that yet so best turn it off too
