AMD RX 7900 XTX 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 XTX is just shy of the RTX 4080 in terms of average frame rates, and that is the same up at 4K. It's only 2-3% slower, but Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone are the only two games where the 7900 XTX can't beat the 4080 at 4K.
