Best Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 8GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered runs at roughly 80 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 81FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 8GB) 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 80 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 80 FPS at 1080p and 65 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
