#Horizon zero dawn on pc install#

Our experience is that many incompatibility problems occur due to old drivers and other software, and a clean install helps ensure consistency of results. We use 'clean' test PCs, so there aren't a bunch of background tasks, which means no browsers, no Discord or other chat applications, and basically nothing other than the game, Steam and drivers for the installed hardware. AMD's driver is game ready for Horizon Zero Dawn and Nvidia's technically isn't, but it didn't appear to matter.

The i5-2500K and FX-6300 meet the minimum requirements, however, and they should be able to break 30 fps provided your GPU is up to snuff.ДЇor testing, I cleaned out all old GPU drivers (via Display Driver Uninstaller) and installed the latest (at the time) versions: Nvidia 451.56 and AMD 20.8.1. If you're using an old second-gen Core i5 or AMD FX-series CPU (which I don't have access to), things might not be so rosy. Everything went okay at low to medium settings, meaning 30-45 fps, but anything more dropped below 30 fps - skipping the high and ultra presets on budget hardware is par for the course.ДЄs for CPUs, the game ran fine on a Core i3-9100 and Ryzen 5 3400G, but those are still reasonably powerful and modern processors. The game popped up a warning that my system didn't meet the minimum requirements, which I ignored. While the game says youвЂ™ll need a GPU with 3GB of VRAM, I managed to get a GTX 1050 (2GB) running okay at 30-45 fps at 1080p.
