Nvidia RTX 4090 Founders Edition Review

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.

From one formerly PlayStation exclusive to another, Horizon Zero Dawn is fairly middle-of-the-road when it comes to overall scaling with the RTX 4090. Hitting 240FPS at 1440p is no small achievement, though once more the 1% lows do lag behind somewhat.

Up at 4K however the 4090 really shines, and here it comes in 54% ahead of the RTX 3090 Ti, while it leads both the RTX 3090 and RX 6950 XT by just over 70%, so those are certainly solid improvements gen-on-gen.
