Nvidia RTX 5090 Review: Ray Tracing, DLSS 4, and Raw Power

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.

 

Up next is Horizon Forbidden West, where we again saw lower-than-expected performance scaling. It's likely CPU bottlenecks are at play, even on the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, as the 5090 delivers just a 17% gain over the RTX 4090 at 1440p.

Now that does increase to 23% at 4K, though that's still on the lower side compared to the rest of our games tested. It's also a 64% gain over the RTX 4080 Super.
