Horizon Forbidden West is a 2022 action role-playing game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn (2017), the game is set in a post-apocalyptic version of the Western United States, recovering from the aftermath of an extinction event caused by a rogue robot swarm. The game and the Burning Shores expansion were collected together, re-released as Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition for PlayStation 5 in October 2023, and ported to Windows by Nixxes Software in March 2024. A sequel is in development. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Decima. We test using the Very High preset, DX12 API.

As for Horizon Forbidden West, with an average of 57fps, the B570 is once again 10% slower than the B580, though that's still very impressive considering it's basically matching the 7600 XT and RTX 4060, both of which are a good chunk more expensive.

Even 1440p is solid enough, with the B570 hitting 45fps. But get this, the B570 is now a whopping 24% faster than the RTX 4060, which I believe is due to insufficient VRAM on the GeForce GPU. So that 10GB framebuffer for the B570 is well worth having…
