AMD RX 7900 XT 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.

Horizon Zero Dawn is a relatively poor performer for the RDNA 3 GPUs, which is slightly surprising considering how well RDNA 2 scales in this title. At 1440p, the 7900 XT is well behind the RTX 4080, by a margin of 14%, and it's 3% faster than the 3090 Ti.

Up at 4K, the 7900 XT even falls behind the RTX 3090 Ti, and it's now just 4% faster than the vanilla 3090, with a 15% uplift versus the 6900 XT.
