Horizon Forbidden West benchmark on GTX 1080 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Horizon Forbidden West FPS with a GTX 1080 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 52FPS min 46Acceptable | 41FPS min 36Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| High | 68FPS min 60Good | 53FPS min 47Acceptable | 28FPS min 25Poor |
| Medium | 89FPS min 78Good | 69FPS min 61Good | 36FPS min 32Acceptable |
| Low | 115FPS min 101Good | 89FPS min 78Good | 47FPS min 42Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 17% | GPU 35% | GPU 66% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1080 Ti. There is 11% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Horizon Forbidden West at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 1080 Ti with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 52 | 65 | 75 |
| 1440p | 41 | 55 | 68 |
| 4K | 21 | 30 | 39 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1080 Ti has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 1080 Ti is what caps the frame rate in Horizon Forbidden West. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 1080 Ti Enough for Horizon Forbidden West?
The GTX 1080 Ti delivers 52 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Horizon Forbidden West. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
