Poor Volta indeed.

Wait, does that show an RX590 outperforming a Vega 64?

Maybe this entire port is just a Sony psyop to make PC gaming look like crap compared to PlayStation.

I've already purchased the game and I'm gonna play it either way, but the performance is definitely looking underwhelming from the initial benchmarks.

After Death Stranding, this is going to get ripped to shreds if it runs poorly.

Should've been another Nvidia sponsored game.

Anyone got 1070 performance impressions at Original/Favor Quality setting? Looking at 1080p/60fps.

I have no issues with new games requiring more as we've been stagnant on the GPU front for a while. I hope we have a renaissance on the GPU front like AMD did for the CPU end.

I have no problem running it at 1440p to get a locked 60 on my end (2080 Super/9900k). I'll try it at 4k first and will see if we can get closer to 60 with some compromises.

I also hope they patch in DLSS 2.0 like other games have done.

So Gamersyde posted a few videos and they seem to get a few drops at 1440/Ultra on a 2080Ti/9900k but nothing substantial. I guess I'll have to lower some things to play at 3440x1440 or just play on the favor quality preset rather than the ultimate quality preset to get a locked 60.

Horizon Zero Dawn on PC comfortably outperforms PS4 in this brilliant port

Horizon Zero Dawn's recommended PC spec delivers a fantastic experience at 1080p, offering better graphics and faster speeds than PS4 even on a GTX 1060.

Getting some mixed messaging around the port quality. Hope my 1660ti can handle it.
I honestly have no idea how that was achieved. None whatsoever.
This is not possible on any hardware known to human kind, actually!

There must something really strange going on with this games performance. Thankfully I won't be playing PC games for a few weeks anyway, so hopefully it'll be improves by then.

But yeah, now watch the PS5 Remaster run at 4K 60 Ultra.... :-P

Whew, looks amazing in 1440p! I'll pick this up in the Steam sale since I beat this last year.

Is there a setting to change the button icons to Dualshock or Switch buttons? I love that Monster Hunter World has that option.

I just don't understand how this can run this badly compared to Death Stranding. Was extremely excited for this to.

German site Computerbase has Benchmarks. Doesn't seem well optimized. 2080 Ti can't run native 4K/60 at Original (!) settings.

Horizon Zero Dawn im Benchmark-Test

Mit Horizon Zero Dawn hat es das nächste PS4-exklusive Spiel auf den PC geschafft. ComputerBase hat sich die Technik genauer angesehen.

Ars Technica opted to hold our coverage until a pre-release patch went live. It was that bad. And Sony did a funky thing of lifting the embargo nearly the same hour as this crucial patch going live, so we would've been reviewing unfinished code that you would never see. I decided that wouldn't be responsible to tell you as PC players what to expect.

I'm waiting for about 35GB to download right now so I can run every test again on a pair of PCs. Fingers crossed. Tune into Ars either later today or early tomorrow to find out more.

The joy of day one (or nearly day one) patches.

I wanted to spend the weekend plaything this game.
I might end up spending the weekend looking into its performance state lol.

I simply don't understand how could they mess this up so much. Especially after great Death Stranding PC version... I am SO disappointed.

The lack of DLSS is a damn shame. I guess Ultra is off the cards but since the settings are clearly labeled at least it'll be better than PS4's Original (and still gorgeous) settings.

I'm curious how it plays with mouse + keyboard. I like the idea of aiming the bow with the mouse.

On a 1060?
That was not my experience.

To be fair death stranding don't have high volumes of foliage and robodinos ai with all the particle effects. But when I highest end pc can't achieve locked 60 on a 3 year old game, you know something is fucked up
