The NVIDIA GeForce MX330 (laptop) is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and Horizon Forbidden West is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 18 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 8 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 8 | 18 |
| 1440p | 5 | 11 |
| 4K | 3 | 6 |
At 1080p expect around 18 FPS, at 1440p about 11 FPS, and at 4K roughly 6 FPS with optimized settings. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
