Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Review ft. Gigabyte & Palit

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.

Horizon Forbidden West is a game that uses more than 8GB VRAM even at 1080p, when using the Very High preset. Of course, that's no issue for the 5060 Ti 16GB, but even then, performance gains over the 4060 Ti 16GB are almost non-existent. I wonder if there's another limitation at play – perhaps memory bandwidth, or even PCIe lanes? It's hard to say, but just a 3% gain over its predecessor at 1080p is very disappointing.

At 1440p that does stretch to 7%, but even that is hardly cause for celebration. We can also see performance that's level with the 7700 XT.
