Best Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4090 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4090 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU), Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered runs at roughly 91 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 92FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4090 is a flagship 4K-class graphics card with 24GB of VRAM, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-14900K, it runs great at 4K — about 91 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 263 FPS at 1080p and 160 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 91 FPS at 4K. Its 24GB of VRAM is plenty for Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
