✅ Yes

~60 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) is a entry-level card with 8GB 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 60 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 45 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	45	60
1440p	27	60
4K	15	36

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 60 FPS, at 1440p about 60 FPS, and at 4K roughly 36 FPS with optimized settings. With only 8GB 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.
