Horizon Forbidden West PC Port: DLSS 3.5, Frame Generation and Upscaling Options

2024-03-27 08:22:56

The PS5 exclusive “Horizon Forbidden West” has finally launched a full PC version, which is also ported by Nixxes. It does not emphasize ray tracing rendering but supports DLSS 3.5 upscaling and frame generation. Older machines can also be used if equipped with RTX 4060 frame generation. Has a smooth effect.

“Horizon Forbidden West” is a PS5 exclusive masterpiece, and its porting to the PC platform is also expected by die-hard PC players. The recommended equipment for the game is as shown in the figure below. To run 1080P@60FPS “medium” image quality, the graphics card requires NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 5700, 4K@60FPS “very high” image quality requires NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900XT. Of course, the game supports the use of controllers, including XBOX and DUALSENSE, the latter has a feel closer to the PS5 version.

The game provides detailed image quality settings. In addition to detailed image quality settings such as material, detail level, shadows, water, and terrain, you can also adjust the field of view through sliders, as well as visual effects such as motion blur and film grain. It supports 32: 9 Ultrawidescreen. In addition, there are full-screen effects such as radial blur, lens flare, bloom, and bloom that can be adjusted. Upscaling functions include TAA, XeSS, FSR 2.2 and DLSS 3.5 frame generation. The official stated that AMD FSR 3.0 and its frame generation will be supported later, but there is no built-in benchmarking mode in this episode.

There are 5 levels of preset image quality in the game: very low, low, medium, high, and very high. If it is a handheld game, the recommendation is “Low”. The “Very Low” image quality is relatively poor and lacks shadow details. Taking the recently launched GF RTX 4070 Super as an example, at 4K resolution “very high” image quality, the native TAA rendering is still at 49fps level, which can meet the “image quality priority” effect of the PS5 version. If shadow frame generation is added, it can reach 69fps level. . If coupled with DLSS “Performance” upscaling and image generation, it will reach nearly 90fps.

Note that the frame generation function will be more effective when GPU rendering is limited by the CPU. Running on an older Core i7-8700K, the specifications are only a little better than the official recommendation. Running “High” image quality with RTX 4060 only achieves 60FPS level, enabling frame generation. It can reach 96fps, a growth rate of nearly 1.6x, which is about 1.4x more than Core i9-14900K with RTX 4070 Super.

Users of the previous generation mainstream GF RTX 3060 12GB can also fine-tune the image quality and play in a 4K upscaling rendering environment, and still achieve an effect of nearly 45fps, and when paired with NVIDIA NIS, it is even closer to 60fps. However, the image quality needs to be adjusted based on “low”.

AMD available FMF frame times

As for AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, the image quality is “very high” at 4K resolution, the native TAA rendering is not bad, and FSR upscaling can be used. The frame generation in the engine has not been added yet, you can use the FMF frame doubling function of the driver. However, it is recommended that this frame rate be enabled in conjunction with FSR, so that the picture fluency will be smoother.

After entering the brain world through games and witnessing the mutual progress of 3D rendering technology and game engines, I am convinced that the PC platform may become the biggest winner.
