Best Horizon Forbidden West settings for the AMD RX 9070 GRE (2026)

On a AMD RX 9070 GRE (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Horizon Forbidden West runs at roughly 82 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 83FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 9070 GRE is a strong 1440p graphics card with 12GB 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 82 FPS with 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 136 FPS at 1080p and 82 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
