On a AMD RX 9060 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Horizon Forbidden West runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 61FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 9060 XT (8GB) is a strong 1440p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Horizon Forbidden West is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 61 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 101 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Horizon Forbidden West at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 102 | 101 |
| 1440p | 61 | 61 |
| 4K | 35 | 61 |
