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 2600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX Vega 64. There is 7% 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 Zero Dawn 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 RX Vega 64 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	FSR Quality	FSR Performance
1080p	45	56	65
1440p	30	41	50
4K	12	17	22

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX Vega 64 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 RX Vega 64 is what caps the frame rate in Horizon Zero Dawn. A faster processor would hardly change the result.

The CheckFPS verdict

Analysis based on real in-game FPS, not spec sheets

Is the RX Vega 64 Enough for Horizon Zero Dawn?

The RX Vega 64 delivers 45 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Horizon Zero Dawn. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.

At 1440p it gets 30 FPS and at 4K 12 FPS at Ultra quality.

Frequently asked questions about Horizon Zero Dawn on the RX Vega 64

How many FPS does the RX Vega 64 get in Horizon Zero Dawn at 1080p?

The RX Vega 64 averages 45 FPS in Horizon Zero Dawn at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 59 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 100 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the RX Vega 64 manages around 30 FPS at 1440p and around 12 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the RX Vega 64 run Horizon Zero Dawn at 60 FPS?

Not on Ultra — it averages below 60 FPS at every resolution. Dropping to Low at 1080p gets the RX Vega 64 to about 100 FPS in Horizon Zero Dawn, and AI upscaling helps close the gap to 60.

Do these Horizon Zero Dawn figures include upscaling or ray tracing?

No. Every FPS figure on this page is native, with no AI upscaling and with ray tracing off. The RX Vega 64 has no ray tracing hardware, so that option is off the table for this card.

How many FPS do I gain by turning on FSR in Horizon Zero Dawn?

At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the RX Vega 64 from around 12 native FPS to an estimated 17 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the RX Vega 64?

The figures on this page assume a Intel Core i5-13400, a mid-range processor that does not bottleneck the card. What matters with the RX Vega 64 is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
