On a NVIDIA RTX 3060 (laptop, 6GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Horizon Forbidden West runs at roughly 67 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 50FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 3060 (laptop, 6GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Horizon Forbidden West is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 67 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 50 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 67 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 40 FPS at 4K. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Horizon Forbidden West at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. 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 | 50 | 67 |
| 1440p | 30 | 62 |
| 4K | 17 | 40 |
