Horizon Forbidden West Performance Benchmark

It is 144hz yes. The further you stray from native refresh rate (above or below) you will see more tearing.

Having a VRR display helps when you are below 144hz.

I'm quite amazed by the RX5700XT is a card of quite 5 years ago and still can play this game high settings at 1080p or medium high in 1440p.... I change that card 2 years ago for the 6800xt that is an amazing card till now for 1440p.

OK but they stopped manufacturing the 4080 a year ago so should only use the 4080 Super in all benchmarks now.

Years old cards are on test benches. There's no reason for TPU or any outlet to purchase a 4080S to replace a regular 4080 in testing. The performance difference is more or less within a reasonable margin for error.

Some are getting triggered over the 4080/super performing like a $699 7900xt in this title. Read between the lines. Yeah the super will not magically perform better than the $899 7900xtx either here.

I think you should update the performance now that Nvidia has released a ReBar profile for their GPUs via the driver update provided today. It's been reported by 4090 users to add upwards of 20fps.

I know you put it's "enabled" on all supported systems, but it's not actually ON unless Nvidia has whitelisted the game in the driver, which it wasn't when you provided this test review. You can alternatively force it ON for all games using Nvidia Inspector, thus allowing it to be enabled for any game regardless of the Nvidia driver whitelist. Otherwise, saying it's enabled is somewhat misleading to readers that don't know this. AMD enables it ON for all games globally, Nvidia only when whitelisted by the driver. Like I said, you can force it on, which I think should be done for Nvidia if you're going to list it as enabled in the test setup.

Either way, the driver update that came out today enables it in the driver and provides for performance uplift for Nvidia across the board. Only fair to test it again since AMD already had ReBar enabled for their results.

I made an estimate performance of the OC'ed RX 7900 GRE with driver version 24.3.1 (from RX 7900 GRE HellHound review) - NOT 100% accurate (take it with a grain of salt)

They also fixed the bug with low GPU utilization as I pointed out last week with the new driver.

Nvidia Game Ready Driver adds ReBAR support to 'Horizon Forbidden West' and game support for recent additions to 'Modern Warfare 3'

Nvidia also confirms a GPU utilization bug in Horizon Forbidden West when using Reflex with boost mode.

At times the gains are significant for new Nvidia driver with ReBar actually enabled.

 

[mxthunder]

I installed them last night, saw very minimal if any gains but will test some more today. That video is interesting as in some parts GPU usage and frame rate are actually lower with the new drivers.

 

[Godrilla]

There seems to be a significant delta improvement in performance between the previous and new current drivers.

Side by side video shows about a >5% improvement depending on schene.

What resolution are you playing at that you need upscaling on a 7900XT?

5120x2880 using VSR. It's pretty. I'm enjoying it.
