Horizon Forbidden West
Horizon Forbidden West was launched to the PC in March of 2024 and is based on the Decima game engine. For the PC release, Horizon Forbidden West added support for ultrawide and super ultrawide resolutions, as well as NVIDIA DLSS 3 upscaling and frame generation, FSR and XeSS, and NVIDIA Reflex. The game features a visually detailed experience with high-quality textures, detailed character models, and an environment with day-night cycles and weather. For our manual run-through, we have chosen an area in the game that walks the character through a long distance between Chainscrape and Barren Light.
In Horizon Forbidden West, we are running at 1080p with the highest image quality settings. This game is known to be very VRAM sensitive. That said, the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB does provide a playable experience at 1080p native resolution at the highest game settings, and runs the game very well at 89FPS average. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB ends up being faster than the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB by 4%. Overclocking the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB improves performance by 2%.
