Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role-playing game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The plot follows Aloy, a hunter in a world overrun by machines, who sets out to uncover her past. It was released for the PlayStation 4 in 2017 and Microsoft Windows in 2020. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Decima. We test using the Ultimate Quality preset, DX12 API.

 

Horizon Zero Dawn is a much closer affair, with only a 5% margin separating the RX 6600 XT and the RTX 3060. The RX 5700 XT is also fractionally slower in terms of the average frame rate, but its 1% low performance is actually better than the 6600 XT by around 7% or so.

That is also true at 1440p, with identical average frame rates between the two GPUs, but the 6600 XT does worse in terms of the 1% lows. The RTX 3060 has also caught up slightly at this resolution, with no real difference between any of those three GPUs. Compared against the RTX 3060 Ti however, the 6600 XT is 22% slower, a pretty significant gap there.
