Best Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered settings for the NVIDIA RTX 2070 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 2070 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered runs at roughly 75 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 76FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 2070 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 75 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 75 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	76	75
1440p	45	61
4K	26	60
