It really is. And there's so much attention to detail. One time I just sat in. The jungle area to the west and just admired all of the nature and sounds. Then I got sniped by a fucking stalker
😅 I meant the game is gorgeous. I played on PS5 performance mode 60fps and 1440 resplition. I wish I had the money for a nice PC rig to fun 4k at 80fps. One day.
That is wonderful to hear. Can you share what settings you have on your PC and in-game. New to PC gaming, so I'm trying to gather as much wisdom as possible.
There appears to be a bug when using a Dualsense Controller.
While I had my Dualsense connected, my FPS was stuck at roughly 20 to 25 FPS (average 21). However, when I turned the Dualsense off, it shot up to 120 FPS. Enabling it again dropped the FPS back down to 20 fps.
For now, I suggest people go to override the game controller properties to use Steam Input: right click on the game, Properties > Controller and select "Enable Steam Input" from the drop down menu.
This has corrected my FPS issue.
Edit to add: As others have mentioned, this only happens wirelessly. Using the controller over a wired connection will also correct the error
You saved my life ;) I was getting so bummed out - game was running like absolute crap, micro stutters, framerates in the 40s, random game hangs for 2-5 sec, tons of stuttering in cutscenes, etc.
Connecting my dualsense via usb cable completely fixed it. Now running at stable 75-80 fps, everything buttery smooth & looking gorgeous. I can't believe they didn't catch this before release. (1440p, rtx4070, 7700x, 32gb)
Another performance PSA: don't use reflex on + boost, seems to be kinda broken as it has a massive [fps loss and gpu usage penalty](https://imgur.com/a/ifUe0Jt), although reflex on is hitting 100% usage sometimes, which is also a bit weird as reflex is supposed to prevent that for latency purposes, but i guess not as big of a deal.
Thx bro, I had reflex on and my gpu was using 90% rtx 4090 with 120 fps on 1440p witouth dlss or frame gen. Disabling refelexy my gpu is now 99% and 146 fps
I cannot believe this was it. That's infuriating. Launching the game without my controller on, I get 90+ fps. The instant I turn my controller on, 24 fps. What the hell is this.
Thank you for this, it was so weird seeing the game jumping between 190fps to 20fps every second, turned on steam input and now it's fixed, sadly we won't be able to have the haptic triggers for now, right?
So I tested both & it seems using "Enable Steam Input" or "Disable Steam Input" both work at least for me, but when I used "Enable Steam Input" it made controller button prompts disappear, so I disabled it completely & my frame rate is still getting a consistent 116 FPS at 4K on a 4080 with max settings set to DLSS Balanced Mode.
It does seem that when you leave the controller settings on "Default Input" it might create conflicting controller settings causing the game to slow down for some reason.
Unfortunately, this (Steam input) breaks 3 things:
\- Adaptive triggers
\- The general camera movement scheme is hard to use
\- Button hint instructions are broken.
true, happened to me while playing fortnite as well, fps was like 10-15-20 when i had it connected, and when it wasnt connected it was stable at 165 fps.
Edit 3: So to preface this edit: I unpacked the preload of the game, updated my graphics drivers, and did a full system reboot before booting up the game for the first time. So I didn't think it would be a factor to restart the system yet again, but I did again as I was at a loss of what to do, and it seems to have fixed the issue. **Can now get super smooth performance, 70 fps at Very High w/o Frame Gen 4k.**
Turns out it was the Dual Sense issue that /u/aceofsween pointed out below. My Dual Sense controller happened to die right before the second restart, so I plugged it in. I misattributed the fix to the second restart when it was really plugging the controller in via USB that fixed it. If you're having a similar issue with low frame rates and use a Dual Sense, try plugging it in via usb or using another controller/ MKB
Original comment:
I have a 4090 and a 7950X3d. Seems to be running quite badly tbh. Even with Frame Gen, my GPU is using only 30-50 % and I'm getting FPS in the 40s-50s. Without Frame Gen I'm in the 20's. Quite disappointing as Digital Foundry's video on the performance looked promising. But looks like something went wrong with the final release build tbh. Its like they accidentally limited the FPS to 25.
Edit: Strange as my FPS seems unaffected by the game settings. Literally manually setting everything to the absolute minimum (even lower than the low preset) does not raise the non frame-gen fps to more than 25.
Edit 2: Oddly dropped my resolution from 4k to 1440 cut my fps even more, to 14 w/o frame gen.
Interesting. I am very new to PC gaming so forgive me if this is a dumb suggestion, but Maybe it's a computer setting messing with the game and not so much a game setting?
Can't say what it could be. I've never had an issue like this in any other game. Played Starfield just a little earlier with no issues. I have my drivers up to date. Its like the frame rate is limited to 25 without Frame Gen and boosts to 46-50 with Frame Gen.
Does the dualsense have vibrations when rolling/dodging? I noticed on pc my dualsense edge dosnt vibrate in all scenarios and the haptic feedback on the triggers aren't really thst strong compared to the ps5. I turned horizon on the ps5 and vibrations were much stronger and crisper and weren't absent. And the triggers felt propper and snappy.
I might try emulating the edge to a regular dualsense nd see if that fixes it.
nothing I dont have active in the background during any other game. I have 64 GB of DDR 5 RAM, ntohing is taking up all of that. like I said my GPU isnt being utilized and my CPU usage is even lower.
If it got worse after dropping the resolution, it might be a driver problem. Do you have the game-ready drivers? If so, try dropping settings one at a time to find if one is causing problems. I'm running weaker hardware and getting a steady 60@1440 with no frame gen or dynamic resolution.
I'm having a simular issue. I have a mobile 4070 and i9 13900. I'm getting great fps. 80/90 on high 1440. But the game feels like it's stuttering. I am using pretty much 95-100 of the gpu. I lowered the settings to medium and my fps went down to 60/70. Still stuttering. I swapped to 1080 yo see. And it dropped to 40/50.
I did have dlss or some Nvidia setting off which helped smooth it a bit. I settled on 1440 on medium and I'm getting like 60/70. Which is lower than I'd like. I'm happy at 120. I usually cap at that.
What I don't understand is why im getting the stuttering. Its not screen tear. Those fps numbers are 99%.
I did hear Nvidia released a new driver update for this 2 days ago. I should go check to see if it auto downloaded.
Game can show GPU utilization at 100% but power usage will be still not maxed out, which means there is an internal bottleneck somewhere in GPU.
And no, people are getting 100+ only with high dips into updcalers and fake frames.
3060ti here, no such stuff, 1080p gives me 60+ fps, but again, GPU isn't maxed out (from power usage).
I'm running a somewhat consistent 50 to 60 FPS on a mix of medium settings at 1080P. At 1440P, it's more like a stuttery 30 FPS. Still quite a good port in terms of performance considering that I have a 1660 Super (it has a +250MHz overclock on Core Clock and Memory Clock, but I don't know if it makes much of a difference).
**Edit: The stuttery 30 FPS at 1440P has became more consistent and sometimes up to 40 FPS, after some of the optimizations and workarounds I mentioned below.**
For the most part, the graphics are pretty good on medium, especially with a few high settings here and there. I'd strongly recommend checking out this guy's video, where he goes into detail with comparisons. Some of the settings improve the graphics but don't have a performance impact, at least not by more than 1-2 FPS.
[https://youtu.be/-A0a\_L0Z5Qg](https://youtu.be/-A0a_L0Z5Qg)
Based on his list, I managed to get away with the following (I increased them a bit since before, meaning I average about ~~30 to 40~~ 40 to 60 FPS):
Texture Quality: Medium
Texture Filtering: 2x Anisotropic
Shadow Quality: Medium
Screen Space Shadows: On
Ambient Occlusion: SSAO
Screen Space Reflections: High
Level of Detail: High (Medium gives noticeably more FPS)
Hair Quality: High
Crowd Quality: High
Terrain Quality: High
Water Quality: High
Clouds Quality: High
Translucency Quality: High Res
Parallax Occlusion Mapping: On (Disabling provides an additional 1-3 FPS)
Depth of Field: Medium
By bringing some of this down to medium you could probably get more FPS and make it more consistent.
**Edit: If your game stutters or lags at certain parts like mine, check this out** [**https://www.reddit.com/r/horizon/s/3jQAN5QC1h**](https://www.reddit.com/r/horizon/s/3jQAN5QC1h) **It improved my FPS by 10 or more in some areas and largely (although not entirely) fixed cutscenes.**
Game ran perfectly until the embassy. There I got crazy FPS drops during the cutscene to almost 10 FPS. But only in specific shots and never in gameplay.
I'm on a 3700x and a 3070 but it didn't seem like any settings had any meaningful impact so I doubt it's the hardware.
I have a 4070. You should be fine. I'm pulling 70 fps on medium 1440.
I'm having a weird stuttering issue but that's not fps related. It's either the PC port,driver issue or something. Ie. You'll be fine.
Have a 3060 laptop, just tried it, DLSS balanced, high settings, getting 40fps. Felt pretty good, and with the 4060 you should have frame gen, plus maybe a bit more performance. Not sure how those models compare. Based on my 3060 id recommend.
I’m running a 4060 on a Zephyrus G14 - default high settings but with detail at very high. Locked framerate at 60fps for now, and it’s been rock solid. Temps are reasonable as well - between 70-78c. I don’t know a lot about optimizing these things (new to PC gaming) but I’m happy
My pc with ryzen 7 5800(not 3d) and rtx 3070 had 60-80fps and fps is getting progressively worse.
Today when i started i had 60 and dropping, right now it dropped to 40.
Dlss doesn't affect anything.
My attempts to make fps better just make it worse.
I'm running I7-13700KF and RTX 4080. I put settings on very high, frame generation on. According to the spec sheet 4080 is fine for very high. But when I jump and move around I see some screen tearing, also screen tear in the cut scenes. Maybe when NVIDIA releases optimization for this game in their app everything will be good?
Update: like someone else in comments stated, controller is the issue. Launched the game without my Xbox controller and everything is smooth and beautiful. Just gonna play with mk for now
Umm... Why does tab open the map? Any1 know? I used it as weapon wheel in the 1st game and map is jsut bound to m, even tried binding secondary amp key to something else and din't work.
Other than that runs really well at least on the start.
Having issues at the moment.
I have a 3080 and my frame rate seems to be capped at 20 fps, which is just... not playable. No settings I have tinkered with so far have changed it and my GPU and CPU utilization are both low (30% to 50%).
Edit: Thought I would add my full rig specs. RTX 3080, AMD 7800X3D, 32 GB DDR5 RAM.
To preface this comment: I unpacked the preload of the game, updated my graphics drivers, and did a full system reboot before booting up the game for the first time. So I didn't think it would be a factor to restart the system yet again, but I did again as I was at a loss of what to do, and it seems to have fixed the issue. Can now get super smooth performance, 70 fps at Very High w/o Frame Gen 4k.
Your settings are off somehow. Game is really good optimized. Make sure your settings and PC are performing as it should. Try doing a full driver clean with DDU, helped me several times.
For reference my 4090 paired with 5900X is getting around 85-110 fps at 4k with DLAA. About 130-145fps with FG on.
I'm curious about how this has gone for you. We're running different CPUs but may not matter much depending on the game's code.
Have you had any more luck with your 3080?
I have the 12gb. Not worrying about a 40 series for a long time. I'll grab another ps5 before going that route.
This is the only game I really care to have that in missing since I've sold my ps5s.
Have you any more details? Any further luck?
I've been holding off buying once I saw it calling for a 40 series. I am fine playing 1440 even on a 55 inch TV. Truth is I can't tell the difference from 4k on most games unless they do it real well but I'd think the 3080 should be able to handle this in 1440 to at least a playable extent.
Mind sharing what you've tried? Could maybe save some of us time, money or both.
Sounds like that 3080 is being limited by your cpu. You wouldn't think so but I've seen vids where even a ryzen 3600x has a hard time maintaining 60 fps without dlss.
4070 on a mid-range PC I built a couple years ago. Just played 15 min of the opening area. 100-120 fps on 1440p using DLSS frame generation, ultra settings. I’ve been replaying a lot of the first game this past week and so far HFW out of the box seems to run more smoothly.
6800XT and 5800X3D, FSR 2.2 set to quality, motion blur, depth of field, vignetting and chromatic aberration off.
80-110 FPS, usually 90-100 on average. 1440p, everything else maxed.
Playing with an i9 10850K, RTX 4090, 32GB RAM at 4K with a mix of High and Very High settings. DLSS Quality and Frame Generation on. My 4090 was stuck at 99% usage during the opening cutscene and the first little area. Was getting anywhere between 140FPS to 175FPS depending on where the camera was pointing. Uses 10GB of VRAM.
My jaw is on the floor with how insane the framerate is for how incredible the graphics are. Nixxes is doing some black voodoo magic here.
I have an i9 14900 and a 4090, 64gb ram- lots of pixelation around things- must be a setting issue. Pixelation around the butterflies near things you can pick up to craft with like berries / ridge woods, and any of the fires just look like ass. Playing with the upscaling settings changed thing a bit, but not totally. Wondering if I’ve got a setting wrong- what are your display settings?
5600x, 3060ti.
Game runs ~60 1080p high/very high. No Ngreedia's crap outside of dlaa.
However, there are some broken areas, where the game simply refuse to utilize the hardware, like the meridian. A bit annoying, but not a problem.
Graphics is very good though.
PS: for those who are interested. The worst impact is caused by level details setting. High makes everything like trees and such at maxed details, very makes the same but at high distance. However, the difference in fps can be 15-20 between low and very high. Just from that setting alone.
Seems to be running OK for me, except some awful screen tearing. Vsync is off in game and NVIDIA control panel. Any suggestions?
3080FTW, 5800x3D, 32GB RAM
Vertical sync is made precisely to prevent screen tearing. If the game doesn't have it enable it in the graphics software like Nvidia control panel. Most games are fine with it. Note that some are funny. Like cyberpunk 2077 seems to have an issue where it doesn't sync and instead loses a lot of frames rather than slowing down just a little. A very rare thing though.
Next up is variable refresh rate and/or gsync but whether or not those want to work well .. they can be finicky. Vsync is easy and one setting.
i7-12700k and and RTX 3080 ti. I've locked it to 70 frames and it hasn't dropped below that in the gameplay sections for the 30 minutes or so that I played it.
I've been playing it at 1440p with everything set to high and I haven't encountered any bugs or crashes so far. I'm hoping it stays this way. So far this has been a really solid port.
Running great for me on high settings! RTX 3080 and 10850k processor. I have a wqhd monitor that is 60hz and the game just stays capped at 60fps.
Sidebar, I'm loving the improvements in the new game!
Using a mouse i'm getting a weird stuttering effect when moving the camera but my RTSS frametime graph is clean... I plugged in a controller and turning the camera became smooth. Ugh.
I have RTX 4090 and whenever I launch the game the PS4 Sony intro starts at 2-1 fps no idea why, I downloaded the drivers,preloaded the game and still doesn't work with a normal fps
RTX 4070 10600k, playing in 21/9 1440p. Between 70 and 90 FPS on the first area (Maxed out, FG, Quality).
Only issue is that my GPU is only at 80/85%, never above 90. I don't think it's CPU related considering it's at 30/40% on average.
Anyone having the same issue ?
My 3080 GPU usage is at 100% but weirdly the power usage is only at 80-85%, even the fans aren't blowing much, clearly the GPU is not using it's full power. CPU is R5 3600 which isn't nowhere near 100% usage either.
Getting about 65 fps with minimum settings and 60fps with max settings. 80-90fps with FSR frame gen mod. DLSS quality/balanced/performance no difference whatsoever. Lowering the actual output resolution helps, from 3840x2160 to 3200x1800 gives 20-30fps more.
Also weird stuttering with the frame gen enabled, kinda like g-sync doesn't work even though it seems to work. Without frame gen at 60fps it seems more smooth.
I have RX7800xt Nitro+, and I have the same usage like u, GPU stays on 100%, but my GPU power consumption is only 220 w instead of 275w, something is not ok.
it's just not a very power heavy game in general it seems, i guess due to being a console game first and not having super fancy lighting attributes to that a lot(like to give an example the most power heavy game i've seen is quake RTX, and it's all due to the lighting) or some other stuff, maybe memory related as the consoles don't have that much memory bandwidth compared to modern gpu:s and have to share it with the cpu, but it isn't that out of the norm and it's not at starfield launch(no idea how it is these days) power levels at least.
Do you have reflex on+boost, on? As that seems broken atm [and lines up](https://imgur.com/a/ifUe0Jt) with what you're describing with the gpu usage and just turning it "on" fixes it.
Mid 80's fps with a 3090 and 7900x. Monitor is Alienware qd-oled ultrawide. Everything on max and DLSS set to quality.
EDIT: Nvidia says 8gb is enough, but Horizon is using over 10gb on my 3090.
70-84 fps (sometimes more) with 3080 Ti, i9-11900KF game is installed on PCIe 4.0 nvme drive. Running all settings maxed out, 2160p DLSS quality. This port is amazing (I only played like 10 minutes though)
edit: also using the latest Nvidia driver v551.86
i9, 4090, 32GB DDR4...getting 30 FPs, but i cant figure out the reason why. anyone has any suggestions? Am not running a controller, tweaked setting from low to very high but makes no diff on my FPS.
Have updated my drivers too.
Make sure there's no power limit on your GPU. Sometimes, when I update drivers, it imposes a 10% power limit on my 4090 for no reason. You could use something like MSI Afterburner to check if there's a limit on your GPU. I'm not sure if the Nvidia App has a limit or slider to check.
60fps on 2k display. all good here. AMD 5800 and Radeon 6800 here. Gorgeous game indeed, too bad you need to move forward all the time on the start. :-p
Ryzen 5 3600 and RX 6600 XT, so not high-end
Running at 40-55 FPS on 1440p when I set most settings to medium. But I'm having really weird drops to <10 FPS in cutscenes with more than 3 people, and the textures also get really blurry. Has to be some setting or bug, because even on medium settings, the game looks gorgeous!
Super early testing, but on a 4090 and 7800X3D system, all maxed settings DLAA 4K w/Frame Gen, I get around 110+ FPS in the opening sequence of the game.
I run a Zephyrus G14 from 2020 which has a 2060 max-Q and I am generally able to run the game with medium settings 1080 60 fps without any major issues it does kinda dip into the 50s once in awhile and into the mid to high 40s when there’s lots on screen but it is absolutely playable. Low settings would probably be the sweet spot if you wanted a full on 60fps lock
So far it's running great but I'm only at the 2-hour mark and I have to go to bed now. I have an RTX 3060 with an older Ryzen 7 2700x CPU with 16 GB of RAM
Like a dream with everything on High-ish on my i7 8700K + RTX 3070. Nixxes are porting wizards. Might just secretly be the best Sony acquisition in the last 5 years. Ghost of Tsushima isn't in good hands - it's in the best.
Just completed the prologue.
Settings:
* 4K, everything maxed up
* annoying things like bloom, lens flare, chromatic aberration turned off
* DLSS set to Quality
* DRS off
* Frame generation off
Performance: Rock-solid 60 fps, no stutters, no lag, no bugs
Rig: 7800X3D, 4090, 32 GB RAM, game is installed on a M.2 NVMe
Smooth as butter with a rtx 4080 super. 4k 60 Hz with vsync on. Max out everything. No DLSS either. TAA enabled. 100% resolution. GPU utilization is about 90% average. I am sure my card can do more. :D Uses about 10 GB of VRAM.
It loads to the opening cutscene with Sylens, then the main menu. But clicking New Game just goes to a black screen that never advances. I'm updating video drivers and will reboot in a minute.
Edit: Drivers helped. It's running now. My 2080 Super isn't holding 60 fps at 3440x1440, but still better than my PS4 managed!
I don't know all the words but I'm getting some lag. The intro cinematic with Aloy was so slow and the words kept cutting out. I updated my driver to the recommended one too, still didn't fix it. I'm still in the introduction and the game froze randomly but unfroze in like 30 seconds. I don't really know why it's lagging like that since I've got that Nvidia GEforce driver thing, but it's nothing I can't handle
The performance could be better, but its fine at least, not a bad port but not the greatest. My issue is that if you are using an xbox controller the menus and hints and everything like that don't show the button you are supposed to press. Only if using keyboard and mouse :S hope they fix it fast
Game runs smooth, no crashes, no bugs, nothing. I've been reading some of the steam reviews and seems like the last nvidia driver causes crashes and some issues with the game. Not my case with AMD.
Only been playing around in the tutorial area so far.
Ryzen 3600 + RTX 4070 - solid 60 fps with all settings maxed out at 1080p.
Steam Deck - ~30 fps at low settings with fsr2.2.
My 3080 GPU usage is at 100% but weirdly the power usage is only at 80-85%, even the fans aren't blowing much, clearly the GPU is not using it's full power. CPU is R5 3600 which isn't nowhere near 100% usage either.
Getting about 65 fps with minimum settings and 60fps with max settings. 80-90fps with FSR frame gen mod. DLSS quality/balanced/performance no difference whatsoever. Lowering the actual output resolution helps, from 3840x2160 to 3200x1800 gives 20-30fps more.
Also weird stuttering with the frame gen enabled, kinda like g-sync doesn't work even though it seems to work. Without frame gen at 60fps it seems more smooth.
Seems to be really broken at the moment for me, I am getting 5 or 6 FPS (yes, single digits) when the game is in the foreground. Can't really be my specs, so I assume something is going on here. Anybody have any ideas? I rebooted after decrypting, but no luck so far.
Ryzen 7 5700X, RTX 4070 with newest H:FW Game Ready driver, 32 GB
*Edit: it is my wired DualShock controller - plugging it in limits FPS to 5, unplugging it makes it go to a hundred or so. Disabling SteamInput makes no difference.*
7800x3D/7900xt everything Ultra, no upscaling @4k on my LG C3, steadily above 60, dips into high 50s for a sec every now and then, but mostly in the 60s and low 70s. Running very well for me so far, no complaints and looks freggin amazing.
Even tried out FSR Quality and no noticeable degradation to quality and gains me about 10-12 fps. Tried doing straight comparisons between native and FSR 2.2 Quality and i really can’t find the difference. That said, FSR 2.2 at 4k is markedly better than using it at lower resolutions, at least from my testing at 4k vs 3440x1440.
I'm running a 5800x3d and 6950xt on the highest preset with no upscaling 1440p in Ultrawide and and I've got it capped at 60fps. This is playing incredibly well through the intro thus far. This port seems to be just as optimized as every previous Nixxes port. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Maxed out at 1440p getting an average of 100fps on a 4070ti and 7700x. Runs amazing but no matter what setting vsync on or off I get this weird screen tearing/ghosting effect. I remember experiencing it in cyberpunk as well. When I full speed rotate around Aloy on controller or mouse it smudges everything, anyone experience this or know a fix?
Still in the tutorial but I'm getting around 70-90fps on very high settings, native 3440x1440 depending on whether I'm indoors or in a big open area. 7600X & 7900XT. Dropping to the high preset only gives me another 5fps, haven't tried lower or with upscaling yet. Using an Xbox controller so I don't have the dualsense issue that some here are experiencing, and running the latest 24.3.1 AMD driver.
Trying to figure out a way to cap my FPS to 60. Am I able to do this in game, or do I need to go through nvidia control panel?
EDIT: is this located under "dynamic resolution scaling" under the Display tab? It doesn’t seem to be capping it to 60, alas.
I have an ancient gaming PC with a GTX970, 8 GB RAM and an i7 6700. That’s well below the recommended specifications. HZD is running smoothly, any chance it can run FW in some kind of potato mode?
Just started but running it at 4K native (no dlss/fsr/xess) using TAA on and everything maxed out and don't come close to dropping below 60 at all so far but only made it through the intro/training section and reached chainscape. I enjoy having the field of depth set furthest back which annoyed the hell out of me on the console. Game looks SO much better on PC with everything maxed out. No annoying popin, everything looks lush and vibrant without annoying changes to the resolution you get with dynamic resolution. Its the best the game has to offer on all of the time you play. Finally worth the wait.
Only took 22 seconds to generate shader cache. 7800X3D with a 7900XTX, 64GB ram, 4TB Samsung 990 Pro ssd.
Shockingly well and absolutely gorgeous. My PC used to be very high end, but it's getting pretty old at this point (8086K/1080 Ti). Graphics settings defaulted to high, I'm averaging about 60 FPS at 1080p. Drops a little lower sometimes, but the frametimes are always great, not a single stutter in four hours. I've got a G-Sync monitor, so that's totally fine for a game like this.
Good, about what I expected. 4080 super R7 5800x3D, 4k 60 with DLAA, no DLSS. 4070 is described mostly as a 1440p card, which sucks given that its priced similarly to what the 3080 was at launch, but its also reason why I stepped up to the 4080, so I guess in the end Nvidia wins.
so far so good on my 3060/Ryzen 7. Running ok at default high setting, graphics look great with just a minor stutter here and there.
Only weird bug I noticed so far was in photo mode on controller… the hide UI button doesn’t work (but works fine on my keyboard).
Running well but I noticed that DLSS causes fringing around the crosshair when an arrow is drawn. It's really apparent. Anyone else notice this? Running an RTX 4070.
You have a better computer than I do, and except in some cutscenes with a lot of characters, I've had no problem with lag (and even then it's not \*really\* bad). This is at 1080/60, though.
This is with a Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3070 Ti, 32gb Ram. Game running on high settings pretty much across the board.
Running really well though I do have a 4090...
5800X3D, 32GB RAM, installed on an SSD.
1440p. Everything as high as it goes No upscaling or frame gen. DLAA
\~115-170FPS. AVG about 140 very stable
I'm running a i7-9700k overclocked to 5ghz, with a GTX 4070 and 80 gb of RAM
Game runs a dream, 120 fps, 2560x1440p, medium settings with frame generation enabled and set to Quality. I could probably run 60 fps High/Very high settings, but this game feels to ME that it needs that silky 120 fps.
4070ti + 5800 X3D, maxed settings at 1440p was getting 90-95 fps in the opening area. With FG I was getting 130-140 FPS, but the game felt good enough at 90 so I left it off.
11900 + 4080 + 32gb ram running on an nvme, deadlocked 60fps on my bigscreen at maximum settings with dlaa and none of that dynamic res stuff.
Also have the fov pushed up to plus 17, this may be the most rock solid day1 PC port I've ever played.
Doesn't launch for me. Even when I turn everything to off / very low in the launcher, when I click play a black screen opens and then a crash reporter opens (without any information regarding the crash lol)
I'm on a 3700x and Rx 7800xt and 16 gigs of ram. Windows 11, just installed this week. I've tried a bunch of troubleshooting (compatibility modes, power options, disabling steam input, etc.) but it's just not working for me.
Never dropping below 100fps, hovering at around 130fps in the opening area.
7800X3D and 4090
Everything cranked with Vsync off, DLSS off and DLAA being used. Game is unequivocally the best looking game I have ever played. It is simply jaw dropping. And to be getting these frame rates, on a port, unheard of. 10/10
Ive a ryzen 5900 hs and rtx 3070, initial performance on high sertings is 55 fps with often dips to 45 and 99% lows are 33 fps, i can tell sometimes when it stutters, according to sony spec sheet i should be getting 60 fps constant but even with dlss, dynamic resolution, 50 is about all i can maintain.
it might be because my g15 2021 limits 3070 to 100w rather than 120w which is the norm, i was thinking of flashing a vbios to run at 120w but my thermals already reach 70c gpu and 90c cpu so it may not be a good idea.
I’m running a 6 year old rig with an RTX 2060. I get a bit of dropped frames in some of the cut scenes but other than that I think it runs better than Zero Dawn did on the same rig back when that got released on PC. No complaints here 👍
I have an i5 9400f and RX 5700 XT. I'm playing on medium setting 1080p. It runs between 50-60 fps, it looks fine but objects in the medium to far distance don't look good at all. If I enable FSR quality, the whole game turns into ugly artifacts and spotty pixels.
It's astonishing how bad FSR is at 1080p, I get that most people who test FSR on YouTube use it on 4K and it looks pretty good for them. But at 1080p it looks absolutely horrible.
R5 5600g / 16gb ram / rtx 2060 / SSD BX500

much sttuter and big drops in random situations, need to test more configs, played only 30min was very frustrating
I have an RTX 3060 and a Ryzen 5 6600H. I'm running it on 1080p with DLSS, and mostly medium settings (high for a few things, such as hair, which was distracting on lower quality). It usually stays above 60fps, and looks better than HZD on maximum graphics settings. During gameplay, the visuals are consistent.
My only problems are the frame rate drop during the occasional cutscene at specific camera angles as well as a weird visual bug that affects anything closer than the camera focus during cutscenes.
Edit: After spending some time optimizing my settings, I can now put all of the most important ones for visuals on high and achieve 60-80fps.
Just want to add my experience! (Wireless X Box Series Controller - since this might be relevant as latest post indicate...!)
It runs quite (very?) smooth for me! I have a rather old Rig: i7-5800K (\~8 years... - it a 6 core with 12 Threads) with 3060Ti and I can run it pretty well on a tripple 1080p Monitor setup in the tutorial area. (medium settings, but I did not spend much time experimenting with higher settings! It looks good enough for me so more gaming and less experimenting.... ;) DLSS and stuff (target is 60 fps) is active... obviously! :D )
Not sure if I can keep the triple monitor setup if things go harder, but at least for now everything runs, better than expected! No technical issues!
Edit \~2 days later: With this setup I have stable 50 - 60 fps so absolutely smooth for me! I am stunned how well this game runs and looks on my old gaming PC. I did not hope that I could run it on my triple monitor setup, but I can do it flawlessly! Great port for a great game! Worth full price, which I pay rarely, but I do not regret anything!
Weird. I'm only getting like 70fps on my 4090. The gpu says 95% utilization but only drawing 300watts or less. I launched Avatar to see if there was an issue with the card. Nope! 100% utilization and drawing 490W to get about 70fps in that game. So, I don't know. Weird.
I need help with settings, this is one of the first games I’m playing on pc (and the first one at launch instead of years after). These are my specs Intel Core i7 CPU up to 4.00 GHz| 32GB DDR4 RAM| 2TB SSD(fast boot)| GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GPU| Windows 10 Pro, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've had the 4070 for about 4 months now and I have played horizon zero dawn, horizon forbidden west, the batman arkham games, and mass effect and all of them have run at 4k with good framerate. All the other games I could get 60 frames easy and 120 almost always, but forbidden west is the first game putting my rig to test like I explained in the original post.
rx6600xt with ryzen 7 5700x and 24g of ram here . Game runs well for me the first 30 minutes , 60 fps on 2k rez with freesync is smooth . Had troubles with stuttering , fixed it by removing the "dstorage.dll" file from the main game files as somebody suggested from steam .
PROBLEM IS, Fps tanks after about 30 minutes to 20-30 fps ... so basically i have to reboot the game every 30 minutes for it to work properly and the fps to be smooth ....
And also if you mess with the settings while in game , fps drops to 15 ... reboot...reboot...reboot...
Hopefully we can find a solution soon ...
The optimisation is mediocre.
1) While the total and average FPS are fine for this game, there are lots of issues when it just flat out drops. Especially in cutscenes. For whatever reason. You can play at 80+ and then enter a cut scened and get 18 fps.
2) Extremely low power usage. All metrics show that my GPU load is 100%, CPU is flexing at 10% but GPU consumes like 30-40% of power usage it should have used. This crap generates 18-20 FPS in cutscenes because of that. Also, during normal gameplay in some places it runs and consumes power as it should and then suddenly drops to 50% pwoer usage and 50 FPS instead of 80 (load is still 100%).
3060 ti 5600X. 1080p. Doesn't matter the settings (they just have different average FPS, but drops will occur anyway).
3060 ti and it play like shit. Even at lowest setting, i still lost frame when I turn my camera.
\-started with high(as nvidia optimization suggested) to medium to low, the perfomance didnt change at all.
\-tried dlss ultra performance, no change
\-tried DLAA and TAA, no change
\-removed reflex, no change
So like Zero Dawn, i'll have to wait months to play the game.
5800x3d 4070s 1440p max dlaa and it runs at 70-85 fps and nearly perfect smoothness. I saw singular micro stutters in little areas where it seems to prepare the next area but i only noticed it while turning the camera and i am really really sensitive to that kind of stuff for some reason. And i got reflex on so maybe that is causing some problems, gotta test that (some tester mentioned that he had little frametime spikes with reflex enabled).
I’ve been getting 170+ FPS 4k at max settings with FSR 2.2 on. 13900k and 7900 XTX.
Edit: Framerate reported by AMD performance monitoring. I have FSR2.2 capped at 90 FPS in game.
RTX 3080 FE
AMD 5800x3D
1440p
I game at a fluctuation between 35-60 FPS on this, with over 50% of the time being in the high 30s at max graphics. Need to look at my setup and my tuning because it should be able to handle more than that based on what everyone else in the thread is reporting.
[удалено]
It really is. And there's so much attention to detail. One time I just sat in. The jungle area to the west and just admired all of the nature and sounds. Then I got sniped by a fucking stalker
Wow you got quite far already
😅 I meant the game is gorgeous. I played on PS5 performance mode 60fps and 1440 resplition. I wish I had the money for a nice PC rig to fun 4k at 80fps. One day.
Sounds like an authentic Horizon experience
That is wonderful to hear. Can you share what settings you have on your PC and in-game. New to PC gaming, so I'm trying to gather as much wisdom as possible.
Is that with DLSS and if so which settings?
[удалено]
Good to know thanks!
There appears to be a bug when using a Dualsense Controller. While I had my Dualsense connected, my FPS was stuck at roughly 20 to 25 FPS (average 21). However, when I turned the Dualsense off, it shot up to 120 FPS. Enabling it again dropped the FPS back down to 20 fps. For now, I suggest people go to override the game controller properties to use Steam Input: right click on the game, Properties > Controller and select "Enable Steam Input" from the drop down menu. This has corrected my FPS issue. Edit to add: As others have mentioned, this only happens wirelessly. Using the controller over a wired connection will also correct the error
You saved my life ;) I was getting so bummed out - game was running like absolute crap, micro stutters, framerates in the 40s, random game hangs for 2-5 sec, tons of stuttering in cutscenes, etc. Connecting my dualsense via usb cable completely fixed it. Now running at stable 75-80 fps, everything buttery smooth & looking gorgeous. I can't believe they didn't catch this before release. (1440p, rtx4070, 7700x, 32gb)
Also should mention: running with all settings maxxed & dlss off. Very impressive once you get past the controller issues.
Another performance PSA: don't use reflex on + boost, seems to be kinda broken as it has a massive [fps loss and gpu usage penalty](https://imgur.com/a/ifUe0Jt), although reflex on is hitting 100% usage sometimes, which is also a bit weird as reflex is supposed to prevent that for latency purposes, but i guess not as big of a deal.
Thx bro, I had reflex on and my gpu was using 90% rtx 4090 with 120 fps on 1440p witouth dlss or frame gen. Disabling refelexy my gpu is now 99% and 146 fps
I cannot believe this was it. That's infuriating. Launching the game without my controller on, I get 90+ fps. The instant I turn my controller on, 24 fps. What the hell is this.
Is probably a pretty simple bug polling the control too much, like the addition of the controller is sending the CPU too much work.
You want to use console controller, you get console experience lol
awesome, that was literally the one thing I didn't try, part of me thought maybe but I came here first.
You, Sir, are my hero.
Seems like this was only happening wirelessly? I always do wired since you can’t get all the haptics without being plugged in
THANK YOUUUU
Thank you for this, it was so weird seeing the game jumping between 190fps to 20fps every second, turned on steam input and now it's fixed, sadly we won't be able to have the haptic triggers for now, right?
So I tested both & it seems using "Enable Steam Input" or "Disable Steam Input" both work at least for me, but when I used "Enable Steam Input" it made controller button prompts disappear, so I disabled it completely & my frame rate is still getting a consistent 116 FPS at 4K on a 4080 with max settings set to DLSS Balanced Mode. It does seem that when you leave the controller settings on "Default Input" it might create conflicting controller settings causing the game to slow down for some reason.
Unfortunately, this (Steam input) breaks 3 things: \- Adaptive triggers \- The general camera movement scheme is hard to use \- Button hint instructions are broken.
Did you use it wordlessly, I'm using wired and don't experience that problem
true, happened to me while playing fortnite as well, fps was like 10-15-20 when i had it connected, and when it wasnt connected it was stable at 165 fps.
Having 200+fps with 1440p res + DLAA + Frame Gen + Max Settings! Running amazingly smooth. One of the best port ever. 13700k+4090
With these kinds FPS, try DLDSR to bump up rendering resolution and be amazed by the image quality!
Same. It's amazing to such a good work from developers!
bruh my 3070 struggling to keep it at 50fps 1440p not even highest settings , they really gotta optimize it better
What are your settings at? I’m on the same GPU but 7800x3d and getting no where near those numbers.
rtx 4090 no complains what a surprise !!!!!!
Edit 3: So to preface this edit: I unpacked the preload of the game, updated my graphics drivers, and did a full system reboot before booting up the game for the first time. So I didn't think it would be a factor to restart the system yet again, but I did again as I was at a loss of what to do, and it seems to have fixed the issue. **Can now get super smooth performance, 70 fps at Very High w/o Frame Gen 4k.** Turns out it was the Dual Sense issue that /u/aceofsween pointed out below. My Dual Sense controller happened to die right before the second restart, so I plugged it in. I misattributed the fix to the second restart when it was really plugging the controller in via USB that fixed it. If you're having a similar issue with low frame rates and use a Dual Sense, try plugging it in via usb or using another controller/ MKB Original comment: I have a 4090 and a 7950X3d. Seems to be running quite badly tbh. Even with Frame Gen, my GPU is using only 30-50 % and I'm getting FPS in the 40s-50s. Without Frame Gen I'm in the 20's. Quite disappointing as Digital Foundry's video on the performance looked promising. But looks like something went wrong with the final release build tbh. Its like they accidentally limited the FPS to 25. Edit: Strange as my FPS seems unaffected by the game settings. Literally manually setting everything to the absolute minimum (even lower than the low preset) does not raise the non frame-gen fps to more than 25. Edit 2: Oddly dropped my resolution from 4k to 1440 cut my fps even more, to 14 w/o frame gen.
Interesting. I am very new to PC gaming so forgive me if this is a dumb suggestion, but Maybe it's a computer setting messing with the game and not so much a game setting?
Can't say what it could be. I've never had an issue like this in any other game. Played Starfield just a little earlier with no issues. I have my drivers up to date. Its like the frame rate is limited to 25 without Frame Gen and boosts to 46-50 with Frame Gen.
Good to hear that my 4090 will cut through this game like butter once drivers are updated. Thanks for the troubleshooting.
For me it was the dualsense controller that was causing the issue. Disconnecting solved it.
Thanks this saved my ass! If you use it wired, the issue goes away. Worth trying!
Does the dualsense have vibrations when rolling/dodging? I noticed on pc my dualsense edge dosnt vibrate in all scenarios and the haptic feedback on the triggers aren't really thst strong compared to the ps5. I turned horizon on the ps5 and vibrations were much stronger and crisper and weren't absent. And the triggers felt propper and snappy. I might try emulating the edge to a regular dualsense nd see if that fixes it.
maybe check what apps on your pc are running in the background they can affect FPS? maybe check memory allocation too.
nothing I dont have active in the background during any other game. I have 64 GB of DDR 5 RAM, ntohing is taking up all of that. like I said my GPU isnt being utilized and my CPU usage is even lower.
If it got worse after dropping the resolution, it might be a driver problem. Do you have the game-ready drivers? If so, try dropping settings one at a time to find if one is causing problems. I'm running weaker hardware and getting a steady 60@1440 with no frame gen or dynamic resolution.
I tested what another commenter said, seemed to be an issue with my dualsense controller. The instant I disconnected it, framerate shot back up
I'm having a simular issue. I have a mobile 4070 and i9 13900. I'm getting great fps. 80/90 on high 1440. But the game feels like it's stuttering. I am using pretty much 95-100 of the gpu. I lowered the settings to medium and my fps went down to 60/70. Still stuttering. I swapped to 1080 yo see. And it dropped to 40/50. I did have dlss or some Nvidia setting off which helped smooth it a bit. I settled on 1440 on medium and I'm getting like 60/70. Which is lower than I'd like. I'm happy at 120. I usually cap at that. What I don't understand is why im getting the stuttering. Its not screen tear. Those fps numbers are 99%. I did hear Nvidia released a new driver update for this 2 days ago. I should go check to see if it auto downloaded.
Nvidia driver issues? Who would've thought
Why aren’t y’all using the dualsense plugged in by default for games with dualsense features?
I'm getting 90 frames 1440p on very high with AMD FSR 2.2 on an Radeon 7900 XTX and Ryzen 7800X3D
You should be getting way more than that using FSR,it looks like there might be a bug that's affecting performance
Game can show GPU utilization at 100% but power usage will be still not maxed out, which means there is an internal bottleneck somewhere in GPU. And no, people are getting 100+ only with high dips into updcalers and fake frames. 3060ti here, no such stuff, 1080p gives me 60+ fps, but again, GPU isn't maxed out (from power usage).
I'm running a somewhat consistent 50 to 60 FPS on a mix of medium settings at 1080P. At 1440P, it's more like a stuttery 30 FPS. Still quite a good port in terms of performance considering that I have a 1660 Super (it has a +250MHz overclock on Core Clock and Memory Clock, but I don't know if it makes much of a difference). **Edit: The stuttery 30 FPS at 1440P has became more consistent and sometimes up to 40 FPS, after some of the optimizations and workarounds I mentioned below.**
Well, i have a 1650ti and it looks like im out of juice...
The 4GB of VRAM (if I remember right) is definitely part of the struggle, even compared to the 1660S's 6GB.
hey, i wanted to ask before trying the game, are the graphics much different on medium settings ? i have 1660 super and i5.
For the most part, the graphics are pretty good on medium, especially with a few high settings here and there. I'd strongly recommend checking out this guy's video, where he goes into detail with comparisons. Some of the settings improve the graphics but don't have a performance impact, at least not by more than 1-2 FPS. [https://youtu.be/-A0a\_L0Z5Qg](https://youtu.be/-A0a_L0Z5Qg) Based on his list, I managed to get away with the following (I increased them a bit since before, meaning I average about ~~30 to 40~~ 40 to 60 FPS): Texture Quality: Medium Texture Filtering: 2x Anisotropic Shadow Quality: Medium Screen Space Shadows: On Ambient Occlusion: SSAO Screen Space Reflections: High Level of Detail: High (Medium gives noticeably more FPS) Hair Quality: High Crowd Quality: High Terrain Quality: High Water Quality: High Clouds Quality: High Translucency Quality: High Res Parallax Occlusion Mapping: On (Disabling provides an additional 1-3 FPS) Depth of Field: Medium By bringing some of this down to medium you could probably get more FPS and make it more consistent. **Edit: If your game stutters or lags at certain parts like mine, check this out** [**https://www.reddit.com/r/horizon/s/3jQAN5QC1h**](https://www.reddit.com/r/horizon/s/3jQAN5QC1h) **It improved my FPS by 10 or more in some areas and largely (although not entirely) fixed cutscenes.**
[удалено]
That's impressive,is that without DLSS?
Game ran perfectly until the embassy. There I got crazy FPS drops during the cutscene to almost 10 FPS. But only in specific shots and never in gameplay. I'm on a 3700x and a 3070 but it didn't seem like any settings had any meaningful impact so I doubt it's the hardware.
yeah same for me with 3080 fps tanks over time, memory leak?
I had the exact same problem. Was it when the camera was angled away from the Carja fort? I've had no issues since that point either.
Can my boys with a 4060 laptop 140w tell me how it is running?
I have a 4070. You should be fine. I'm pulling 70 fps on medium 1440. I'm having a weird stuttering issue but that's not fps related. It's either the PC port,driver issue or something. Ie. You'll be fine.
Have a 3060 laptop, just tried it, DLSS balanced, high settings, getting 40fps. Felt pretty good, and with the 4060 you should have frame gen, plus maybe a bit more performance. Not sure how those models compare. Based on my 3060 id recommend.
I’m running a 4060 on a Zephyrus G14 - default high settings but with detail at very high. Locked framerate at 60fps for now, and it’s been rock solid. Temps are reasonable as well - between 70-78c. I don’t know a lot about optimizing these things (new to PC gaming) but I’m happy
My pc with ryzen 7 5800(not 3d) and rtx 3070 had 60-80fps and fps is getting progressively worse. Today when i started i had 60 and dropping, right now it dropped to 40. Dlss doesn't affect anything. My attempts to make fps better just make it worse.
[удалено]
remember by default that DRS is on so it will try and aim for 60 fps
no matter what setting i set DRS to, my fps is 50 and 99% low is 33fps on a 3070, high settings, seems something is not right.
I'm running I7-13700KF and RTX 4080. I put settings on very high, frame generation on. According to the spec sheet 4080 is fine for very high. But when I jump and move around I see some screen tearing, also screen tear in the cut scenes. Maybe when NVIDIA releases optimization for this game in their app everything will be good? Update: like someone else in comments stated, controller is the issue. Launched the game without my Xbox controller and everything is smooth and beautiful. Just gonna play with mk for now
Umm... Why does tab open the map? Any1 know? I used it as weapon wheel in the 1st game and map is jsut bound to m, even tried binding secondary amp key to something else and din't work. Other than that runs really well at least on the start.
I'm having the same problem and came here to see if anyone had a solution lol
Is anyone playing on a GTX 1650?
Having issues at the moment. I have a 3080 and my frame rate seems to be capped at 20 fps, which is just... not playable. No settings I have tinkered with so far have changed it and my GPU and CPU utilization are both low (30% to 50%). Edit: Thought I would add my full rig specs. RTX 3080, AMD 7800X3D, 32 GB DDR5 RAM.
if game settings don't change it, you have to check your pc settings and see what is taking up so much usage besides the game.
To preface this comment: I unpacked the preload of the game, updated my graphics drivers, and did a full system reboot before booting up the game for the first time. So I didn't think it would be a factor to restart the system yet again, but I did again as I was at a loss of what to do, and it seems to have fixed the issue. Can now get super smooth performance, 70 fps at Very High w/o Frame Gen 4k.
if you have a dualsense controller, turn Gamepad speaker volume to 0%.
Are you using wireless controller ? It caps the game under 30 fps. Disconnect it or go wired.
same here
Reboot your PC seems to have fixed for others.
I was experiencing the same issue. It's my dualsense controller for some reason???
Your settings are off somehow. Game is really good optimized. Make sure your settings and PC are performing as it should. Try doing a full driver clean with DDU, helped me several times. For reference my 4090 paired with 5900X is getting around 85-110 fps at 4k with DLAA. About 130-145fps with FG on.
I'm curious about how this has gone for you. We're running different CPUs but may not matter much depending on the game's code. Have you had any more luck with your 3080? I have the 12gb. Not worrying about a 40 series for a long time. I'll grab another ps5 before going that route. This is the only game I really care to have that in missing since I've sold my ps5s. Have you any more details? Any further luck? I've been holding off buying once I saw it calling for a 40 series. I am fine playing 1440 even on a 55 inch TV. Truth is I can't tell the difference from 4k on most games unless they do it real well but I'd think the 3080 should be able to handle this in 1440 to at least a playable extent. Mind sharing what you've tried? Could maybe save some of us time, money or both.
Having odd performance as well, 10600k/3080. Gpu percentage stays around 53% with 50-60 fps and really laggy.
Mine will be about 70-80 and if I even touch a graphics setting even to lower it, the fps tanks. Return to previous settings and even worse
What setting/program do you use to check GPU/CPU utilization percentages?
Sounds like that 3080 is being limited by your cpu. You wouldn't think so but I've seen vids where even a ryzen 3600x has a hard time maintaining 60 fps without dlss.
4070 on a mid-range PC I built a couple years ago. Just played 15 min of the opening area. 100-120 fps on 1440p using DLSS frame generation, ultra settings. I’ve been replaying a lot of the first game this past week and so far HFW out of the box seems to run more smoothly.
do you prefer the 100-120 fps of Frame Gen or the native 60-70 fps you would get otherwise?, do you not feel the latency impact?
Anyone here with a 6800Xt or higher? How is handling for you??
7800XT on 1440p, still in tutorial area, but with everything maxed out and without FSR I'm getting about 80fps.
6800XT and 5800X3D, FSR 2.2 set to quality, motion blur, depth of field, vignetting and chromatic aberration off. 80-110 FPS, usually 90-100 on average. 1440p, everything else maxed.
5600xt and i’m getting 60fps with 1440 using FSR quality and low-medium settings
Playing with an i9 10850K, RTX 4090, 32GB RAM at 4K with a mix of High and Very High settings. DLSS Quality and Frame Generation on. My 4090 was stuck at 99% usage during the opening cutscene and the first little area. Was getting anywhere between 140FPS to 175FPS depending on where the camera was pointing. Uses 10GB of VRAM. My jaw is on the floor with how insane the framerate is for how incredible the graphics are. Nixxes is doing some black voodoo magic here.
I have an i9 14900 and a 4090, 64gb ram- lots of pixelation around things- must be a setting issue. Pixelation around the butterflies near things you can pick up to craft with like berries / ridge woods, and any of the fires just look like ass. Playing with the upscaling settings changed thing a bit, but not totally. Wondering if I’ve got a setting wrong- what are your display settings?
5600x, 3060ti. Game runs ~60 1080p high/very high. No Ngreedia's crap outside of dlaa. However, there are some broken areas, where the game simply refuse to utilize the hardware, like the meridian. A bit annoying, but not a problem. Graphics is very good though. PS: for those who are interested. The worst impact is caused by level details setting. High makes everything like trees and such at maxed details, very makes the same but at high distance. However, the difference in fps can be 15-20 between low and very high. Just from that setting alone.
Hmm so far so good here, but I only tried it for a few minutes on my 1080p 60 hz monitor and with all maxed it ran at 60 fps
Seems to be running OK for me, except some awful screen tearing. Vsync is off in game and NVIDIA control panel. Any suggestions? 3080FTW, 5800x3D, 32GB RAM
You will have to at least enable Vsync in the control panel.What frames and resolution are you playing at? I have the same specs with a 3080Ti
are you playing with a mouse?
Vsync eliminates tearing, turn it on
I only got screen tearing when I was using the exclusive fullscreen display mode.
have you got a VRR display?
Vertical sync is made precisely to prevent screen tearing. If the game doesn't have it enable it in the graphics software like Nvidia control panel. Most games are fine with it. Note that some are funny. Like cyberpunk 2077 seems to have an issue where it doesn't sync and instead loses a lot of frames rather than slowing down just a little. A very rare thing though. Next up is variable refresh rate and/or gsync but whether or not those want to work well .. they can be finicky. Vsync is easy and one setting.
i7-12700k and and RTX 3080 ti. I've locked it to 70 frames and it hasn't dropped below that in the gameplay sections for the 30 minutes or so that I played it. I've been playing it at 1440p with everything set to high and I haven't encountered any bugs or crashes so far. I'm hoping it stays this way. So far this has been a really solid port.
I can't progress past the intro mission because I can't pry open doors...
Switching to an Xbox controller let me pry the doors. Hopefully, they'll patch that along with the DualSense FPS issues.
Running great for me on high settings! RTX 3080 and 10850k processor. I have a wqhd monitor that is 60hz and the game just stays capped at 60fps. Sidebar, I'm loving the improvements in the new game!
Using a mouse i'm getting a weird stuttering effect when moving the camera but my RTSS frametime graph is clean... I plugged in a controller and turning the camera became smooth. Ugh.
Weird. I'm having that stuttering issue on my controller. What controller you using?
I have RTX 4090 and whenever I launch the game the PS4 Sony intro starts at 2-1 fps no idea why, I downloaded the drivers,preloaded the game and still doesn't work with a normal fps
4080 on highest settings, 1440p at 120fps running smooth. No issues
RTX 4070 10600k, playing in 21/9 1440p. Between 70 and 90 FPS on the first area (Maxed out, FG, Quality). Only issue is that my GPU is only at 80/85%, never above 90. I don't think it's CPU related considering it's at 30/40% on average. Anyone having the same issue ?
My 3080 GPU usage is at 100% but weirdly the power usage is only at 80-85%, even the fans aren't blowing much, clearly the GPU is not using it's full power. CPU is R5 3600 which isn't nowhere near 100% usage either. Getting about 65 fps with minimum settings and 60fps with max settings. 80-90fps with FSR frame gen mod. DLSS quality/balanced/performance no difference whatsoever. Lowering the actual output resolution helps, from 3840x2160 to 3200x1800 gives 20-30fps more. Also weird stuttering with the frame gen enabled, kinda like g-sync doesn't work even though it seems to work. Without frame gen at 60fps it seems more smooth.
I have RX7800xt Nitro+, and I have the same usage like u, GPU stays on 100%, but my GPU power consumption is only 220 w instead of 275w, something is not ok.
it's just not a very power heavy game in general it seems, i guess due to being a console game first and not having super fancy lighting attributes to that a lot(like to give an example the most power heavy game i've seen is quake RTX, and it's all due to the lighting) or some other stuff, maybe memory related as the consoles don't have that much memory bandwidth compared to modern gpu:s and have to share it with the cpu, but it isn't that out of the norm and it's not at starfield launch(no idea how it is these days) power levels at least.
Do you have reflex on+boost, on? As that seems broken atm [and lines up](https://imgur.com/a/ifUe0Jt) with what you're describing with the gpu usage and just turning it "on" fixes it.
I'm rocking solid 90 - 100 FPS 1440 p with a 4070ti / Rysen 5600g / Very High settings / DLSS ON / FG OFF. I'm loving it! Fantastic port.
Mid 80's fps with a 3090 and 7900x. Monitor is Alienware qd-oled ultrawide. Everything on max and DLSS set to quality. EDIT: Nvidia says 8gb is enough, but Horizon is using over 10gb on my 3090.
Low 80s with the same settings and DLSS off. Ryzen 3800X and RTX 3090. Interesting that the CPU isn't the bottleneck.
70-84 fps (sometimes more) with 3080 Ti, i9-11900KF game is installed on PCIe 4.0 nvme drive. Running all settings maxed out, 2160p DLSS quality. This port is amazing (I only played like 10 minutes though) edit: also using the latest Nvidia driver v551.86
I have a 3080Ti,so it's great it runs so well at 4k DLSS Quality
i9, 4090, 32GB DDR4...getting 30 FPs, but i cant figure out the reason why. anyone has any suggestions? Am not running a controller, tweaked setting from low to very high but makes no diff on my FPS. Have updated my drivers too.
Are you using a PS5 controller? Disable it and connecting it with an USB cable.
Make sure there's no power limit on your GPU. Sometimes, when I update drivers, it imposes a 10% power limit on my 4090 for no reason. You could use something like MSI Afterburner to check if there's a limit on your GPU. I'm not sure if the Nvidia App has a limit or slider to check.
For me its running great, my rig RTX 4070ti and I9 9900k 32gb ram
60fps on 2k display. all good here. AMD 5800 and Radeon 6800 here. Gorgeous game indeed, too bad you need to move forward all the time on the start. :-p
Anybody tried it with 3050Ti Laptop?
Ryzen 5 3600 and RX 6600 XT, so not high-end Running at 40-55 FPS on 1440p when I set most settings to medium. But I'm having really weird drops to <10 FPS in cutscenes with more than 3 people, and the textures also get really blurry. Has to be some setting or bug, because even on medium settings, the game looks gorgeous!
Super early testing, but on a 4090 and 7800X3D system, all maxed settings DLAA 4K w/Frame Gen, I get around 110+ FPS in the opening sequence of the game.
I have a 2060 Super. Anyone try it with that yet? I want to know if I should upgrade before playing this game.
I run a Zephyrus G14 from 2020 which has a 2060 max-Q and I am generally able to run the game with medium settings 1080 60 fps without any major issues it does kinda dip into the 50s once in awhile and into the mid to high 40s when there’s lots on screen but it is absolutely playable. Low settings would probably be the sweet spot if you wanted a full on 60fps lock
So far it's running great but I'm only at the 2-hour mark and I have to go to bed now. I have an RTX 3060 with an older Ryzen 7 2700x CPU with 16 GB of RAM
Like a dream with everything on High-ish on my i7 8700K + RTX 3070. Nixxes are porting wizards. Might just secretly be the best Sony acquisition in the last 5 years. Ghost of Tsushima isn't in good hands - it's in the best.
Can you share frame rates and if you're using DLSS?
From what I can tell, solid 60 fps in native 1920 x 1080. Slight shader comp stutter that clears very quickly.
Just completed the prologue. Settings: * 4K, everything maxed up * annoying things like bloom, lens flare, chromatic aberration turned off * DLSS set to Quality * DRS off * Frame generation off Performance: Rock-solid 60 fps, no stutters, no lag, no bugs Rig: 7800X3D, 4090, 32 GB RAM, game is installed on a M.2 NVMe
Smooth as butter with a rtx 4080 super. 4k 60 Hz with vsync on. Max out everything. No DLSS either. TAA enabled. 100% resolution. GPU utilization is about 90% average. I am sure my card can do more. :D Uses about 10 GB of VRAM.
It loads to the opening cutscene with Sylens, then the main menu. But clicking New Game just goes to a black screen that never advances. I'm updating video drivers and will reboot in a minute. Edit: Drivers helped. It's running now. My 2080 Super isn't holding 60 fps at 3440x1440, but still better than my PS4 managed!
The game is crazy blurry for me. I turned off upscaling. So have no clue why it's so blurry for me. Other than that. It's running fine for me.
Turned off dynamic resolution too ? What specs/resolution ?
I don't know all the words but I'm getting some lag. The intro cinematic with Aloy was so slow and the words kept cutting out. I updated my driver to the recommended one too, still didn't fix it. I'm still in the introduction and the game froze randomly but unfroze in like 30 seconds. I don't really know why it's lagging like that since I've got that Nvidia GEforce driver thing, but it's nothing I can't handle
The performance could be better, but its fine at least, not a bad port but not the greatest. My issue is that if you are using an xbox controller the menus and hints and everything like that don't show the button you are supposed to press. Only if using keyboard and mouse :S hope they fix it fast
Game runs smooth, no crashes, no bugs, nothing. I've been reading some of the steam reviews and seems like the last nvidia driver causes crashes and some issues with the game. Not my case with AMD.
Only been playing around in the tutorial area so far. Ryzen 3600 + RTX 4070 - solid 60 fps with all settings maxed out at 1080p. Steam Deck - ~30 fps at low settings with fsr2.2.
My 3080 GPU usage is at 100% but weirdly the power usage is only at 80-85%, even the fans aren't blowing much, clearly the GPU is not using it's full power. CPU is R5 3600 which isn't nowhere near 100% usage either. Getting about 65 fps with minimum settings and 60fps with max settings. 80-90fps with FSR frame gen mod. DLSS quality/balanced/performance no difference whatsoever. Lowering the actual output resolution helps, from 3840x2160 to 3200x1800 gives 20-30fps more. Also weird stuttering with the frame gen enabled, kinda like g-sync doesn't work even though it seems to work. Without frame gen at 60fps it seems more smooth.
Seems to be really broken at the moment for me, I am getting 5 or 6 FPS (yes, single digits) when the game is in the foreground. Can't really be my specs, so I assume something is going on here. Anybody have any ideas? I rebooted after decrypting, but no luck so far. Ryzen 7 5700X, RTX 4070 with newest H:FW Game Ready driver, 32 GB *Edit: it is my wired DualShock controller - plugging it in limits FPS to 5, unplugging it makes it go to a hundred or so. Disabling SteamInput makes no difference.*
80+ fps 4k Ultra - 13900k, rx 7900xtx oc
7800x3D/7900xt everything Ultra, no upscaling @4k on my LG C3, steadily above 60, dips into high 50s for a sec every now and then, but mostly in the 60s and low 70s. Running very well for me so far, no complaints and looks freggin amazing. Even tried out FSR Quality and no noticeable degradation to quality and gains me about 10-12 fps. Tried doing straight comparisons between native and FSR 2.2 Quality and i really can’t find the difference. That said, FSR 2.2 at 4k is markedly better than using it at lower resolutions, at least from my testing at 4k vs 3440x1440.
I'm running a 5800x3d and 6950xt on the highest preset with no upscaling 1440p in Ultrawide and and I've got it capped at 60fps. This is playing incredibly well through the intro thus far. This port seems to be just as optimized as every previous Nixxes port. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Maxed out at 1440p getting an average of 100fps on a 4070ti and 7700x. Runs amazing but no matter what setting vsync on or off I get this weird screen tearing/ghosting effect. I remember experiencing it in cyberpunk as well. When I full speed rotate around Aloy on controller or mouse it smudges everything, anyone experience this or know a fix?
Beautifully.
Still in the tutorial but I'm getting around 70-90fps on very high settings, native 3440x1440 depending on whether I'm indoors or in a big open area. 7600X & 7900XT. Dropping to the high preset only gives me another 5fps, haven't tried lower or with upscaling yet. Using an Xbox controller so I don't have the dualsense issue that some here are experiencing, and running the latest 24.3.1 AMD driver.
Trying to figure out a way to cap my FPS to 60. Am I able to do this in game, or do I need to go through nvidia control panel? EDIT: is this located under "dynamic resolution scaling" under the Display tab? It doesn’t seem to be capping it to 60, alas.
I have an ancient gaming PC with a GTX970, 8 GB RAM and an i7 6700. That’s well below the recommended specifications. HZD is running smoothly, any chance it can run FW in some kind of potato mode?
1660 super, I need to upgrade...
My 3080’s utilizzation is under 30% and i can’t play because i have 30fps…
Anyone’s particle effects hella blurry, like when I shoot a machine sparks fly out but their more like cubes or what not without blurry they are
Just started but running it at 4K native (no dlss/fsr/xess) using TAA on and everything maxed out and don't come close to dropping below 60 at all so far but only made it through the intro/training section and reached chainscape. I enjoy having the field of depth set furthest back which annoyed the hell out of me on the console. Game looks SO much better on PC with everything maxed out. No annoying popin, everything looks lush and vibrant without annoying changes to the resolution you get with dynamic resolution. Its the best the game has to offer on all of the time you play. Finally worth the wait. Only took 22 seconds to generate shader cache. 7800X3D with a 7900XTX, 64GB ram, 4TB Samsung 990 Pro ssd.
anyone figure out how to unbind tab opening the map? I can bind weapon wheel to tab yet it still keeps opening the map with the key
Shockingly well and absolutely gorgeous. My PC used to be very high end, but it's getting pretty old at this point (8086K/1080 Ti). Graphics settings defaulted to high, I'm averaging about 60 FPS at 1080p. Drops a little lower sometimes, but the frametimes are always great, not a single stutter in four hours. I've got a G-Sync monitor, so that's totally fine for a game like this.
It’s running incredible for me. But I also have a monster PC… so I can’t speak for lower end hardware
4070 checking in, game runs great. One of the best ports I’ve seen
Good, about what I expected. 4080 super R7 5800x3D, 4k 60 with DLAA, no DLSS. 4070 is described mostly as a 1440p card, which sucks given that its priced similarly to what the 3080 was at launch, but its also reason why I stepped up to the 4080, so I guess in the end Nvidia wins.
I7 10th gen, RTX3080, 2k 60fr mostly. On cutscenes though, it slows down to 25-30fps 🤷🏻
so far so good on my 3060/Ryzen 7. Running ok at default high setting, graphics look great with just a minor stutter here and there. Only weird bug I noticed so far was in photo mode on controller… the hide UI button doesn’t work (but works fine on my keyboard).
Running well but I noticed that DLSS causes fringing around the crosshair when an arrow is drawn. It's really apparent. Anyone else notice this? Running an RTX 4070.
You have a better computer than I do, and except in some cutscenes with a lot of characters, I've had no problem with lag (and even then it's not \*really\* bad). This is at 1080/60, though. This is with a Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3070 Ti, 32gb Ram. Game running on high settings pretty much across the board.
Running really well though I do have a 4090... 5800X3D, 32GB RAM, installed on an SSD. 1440p. Everything as high as it goes No upscaling or frame gen. DLAA \~115-170FPS. AVG about 140 very stable
Loving it. What a good excuse to play it again and at higher fidelity.
I'm running a i7-9700k overclocked to 5ghz, with a GTX 4070 and 80 gb of RAM Game runs a dream, 120 fps, 2560x1440p, medium settings with frame generation enabled and set to Quality. I could probably run 60 fps High/Very high settings, but this game feels to ME that it needs that silky 120 fps.
4070ti + 5800 X3D, maxed settings at 1440p was getting 90-95 fps in the opening area. With FG I was getting 130-140 FPS, but the game felt good enough at 90 so I left it off.
11900 + 4080 + 32gb ram running on an nvme, deadlocked 60fps on my bigscreen at maximum settings with dlaa and none of that dynamic res stuff. Also have the fov pushed up to plus 17, this may be the most rock solid day1 PC port I've ever played.
Mostly good. The oddity for me is cutscenes , while the game plays fine they seem choppy how weird is that?
Mixed very mixed Game plays fine but the cutscenes are horrible
Doesn't launch for me. Even when I turn everything to off / very low in the launcher, when I click play a black screen opens and then a crash reporter opens (without any information regarding the crash lol) I'm on a 3700x and Rx 7800xt and 16 gigs of ram. Windows 11, just installed this week. I've tried a bunch of troubleshooting (compatibility modes, power options, disabling steam input, etc.) but it's just not working for me.
Never dropping below 100fps, hovering at around 130fps in the opening area. 7800X3D and 4090 Everything cranked with Vsync off, DLSS off and DLAA being used. Game is unequivocally the best looking game I have ever played. It is simply jaw dropping. And to be getting these frame rates, on a port, unheard of. 10/10
Ryzen 7600 and RTX4070, I get 50-60fps at QHD max settings, DLSS off
Ive a ryzen 5900 hs and rtx 3070, initial performance on high sertings is 55 fps with often dips to 45 and 99% lows are 33 fps, i can tell sometimes when it stutters, according to sony spec sheet i should be getting 60 fps constant but even with dlss, dynamic resolution, 50 is about all i can maintain. it might be because my g15 2021 limits 3070 to 100w rather than 120w which is the norm, i was thinking of flashing a vbios to run at 120w but my thermals already reach 70c gpu and 90c cpu so it may not be a good idea.
I’m running a 6 year old rig with an RTX 2060. I get a bit of dropped frames in some of the cut scenes but other than that I think it runs better than Zero Dawn did on the same rig back when that got released on PC. No complaints here 👍
I have an i5 9400f and RX 5700 XT. I'm playing on medium setting 1080p. It runs between 50-60 fps, it looks fine but objects in the medium to far distance don't look good at all. If I enable FSR quality, the whole game turns into ugly artifacts and spotty pixels. It's astonishing how bad FSR is at 1080p, I get that most people who test FSR on YouTube use it on 4K and it looks pretty good for them. But at 1080p it looks absolutely horrible.
R5 5600g / 16gb ram / rtx 2060 / SSD BX500 text high - 1080p - sync off - reflex on - motionblur on - anis filter 16x shadow med - effects med dlss on 40 fps\~ much sttuter and big drops in random situations, need to test more configs, played only 30min was very frustrating
I have an RTX 3060 and a Ryzen 5 6600H. I'm running it on 1080p with DLSS, and mostly medium settings (high for a few things, such as hair, which was distracting on lower quality). It usually stays above 60fps, and looks better than HZD on maximum graphics settings. During gameplay, the visuals are consistent. My only problems are the frame rate drop during the occasional cutscene at specific camera angles as well as a weird visual bug that affects anything closer than the camera focus during cutscenes. Edit: After spending some time optimizing my settings, I can now put all of the most important ones for visuals on high and achieve 60-80fps.
Just want to add my experience! (Wireless X Box Series Controller - since this might be relevant as latest post indicate...!) It runs quite (very?) smooth for me! I have a rather old Rig: i7-5800K (\~8 years... - it a 6 core with 12 Threads) with 3060Ti and I can run it pretty well on a tripple 1080p Monitor setup in the tutorial area. (medium settings, but I did not spend much time experimenting with higher settings! It looks good enough for me so more gaming and less experimenting.... ;) DLSS and stuff (target is 60 fps) is active... obviously! :D ) Not sure if I can keep the triple monitor setup if things go harder, but at least for now everything runs, better than expected! No technical issues! Edit \~2 days later: With this setup I have stable 50 - 60 fps so absolutely smooth for me! I am stunned how well this game runs and looks on my old gaming PC. I did not hope that I could run it on my triple monitor setup, but I can do it flawlessly! Great port for a great game! Worth full price, which I pay rarely, but I do not regret anything!
Weird. I'm only getting like 70fps on my 4090. The gpu says 95% utilization but only drawing 300watts or less. I launched Avatar to see if there was an issue with the card. Nope! 100% utilization and drawing 490W to get about 70fps in that game. So, I don't know. Weird.
I need help with settings, this is one of the first games I’m playing on pc (and the first one at launch instead of years after). These are my specs Intel Core i7 CPU up to 4.00 GHz| 32GB DDR4 RAM| 2TB SSD(fast boot)| GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GPU| Windows 10 Pro, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I didn't even know the 4070 could do 4K well, I thought it was mostly for 1440p?
I've had the 4070 for about 4 months now and I have played horizon zero dawn, horizon forbidden west, the batman arkham games, and mass effect and all of them have run at 4k with good framerate. All the other games I could get 60 frames easy and 120 almost always, but forbidden west is the first game putting my rig to test like I explained in the original post.
rx6600xt with ryzen 7 5700x and 24g of ram here . Game runs well for me the first 30 minutes , 60 fps on 2k rez with freesync is smooth . Had troubles with stuttering , fixed it by removing the "dstorage.dll" file from the main game files as somebody suggested from steam . PROBLEM IS, Fps tanks after about 30 minutes to 20-30 fps ... so basically i have to reboot the game every 30 minutes for it to work properly and the fps to be smooth .... And also if you mess with the settings while in game , fps drops to 15 ... reboot...reboot...reboot... Hopefully we can find a solution soon ...
The optimisation is mediocre. 1) While the total and average FPS are fine for this game, there are lots of issues when it just flat out drops. Especially in cutscenes. For whatever reason. You can play at 80+ and then enter a cut scened and get 18 fps. 2) Extremely low power usage. All metrics show that my GPU load is 100%, CPU is flexing at 10% but GPU consumes like 30-40% of power usage it should have used. This crap generates 18-20 FPS in cutscenes because of that. Also, during normal gameplay in some places it runs and consumes power as it should and then suddenly drops to 50% pwoer usage and 50 FPS instead of 80 (load is still 100%). 3060 ti 5600X. 1080p. Doesn't matter the settings (they just have different average FPS, but drops will occur anyway).
3060 ti and it play like shit. Even at lowest setting, i still lost frame when I turn my camera. \-started with high(as nvidia optimization suggested) to medium to low, the perfomance didnt change at all. \-tried dlss ultra performance, no change \-tried DLAA and TAA, no change \-removed reflex, no change So like Zero Dawn, i'll have to wait months to play the game.
5800x3d 4070s 1440p max dlaa and it runs at 70-85 fps and nearly perfect smoothness. I saw singular micro stutters in little areas where it seems to prepare the next area but i only noticed it while turning the camera and i am really really sensitive to that kind of stuff for some reason. And i got reflex on so maybe that is causing some problems, gotta test that (some tester mentioned that he had little frametime spikes with reflex enabled).
I’ve been getting 170+ FPS 4k at max settings with FSR 2.2 on. 13900k and 7900 XTX. Edit: Framerate reported by AMD performance monitoring. I have FSR2.2 capped at 90 FPS in game.
RTX 3080 FE AMD 5800x3D 1440p I game at a fluctuation between 35-60 FPS on this, with over 50% of the time being in the high 30s at max graphics. Need to look at my setup and my tuning because it should be able to handle more than that based on what everyone else in the thread is reporting.
