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.

The RTX 4060 offers solid performance in Horizon Zero Dawn, where we get over 100FPS on average, with overall scaling identical to the RX 7600. Again though, the generational uplift versus the 3060 is a mere 14% at 1080p, so that's hardly cause for celebration.

At 1440p we're still getting just under 80FPS from the 4060 so it's eminently playable, coming in 16% slower than the 4060 Ti but it is now a hair ahead of the RX 7600.
