Horizon Forbidden West

 
Boost your Horizon Forbidden West frame rate with this new updateApr 25, 2024 - PCGamesNAs the weeks pass by since the Horizon Forbidden West launch, it's only right to hope for a steady stream of updates to ensure the PC port plays as smoothly as possible. Sure enough, Nixxes has just issued the Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition 1.3.55.0 update, bringing with it a particularly nice new feature in the shape of Intel XeSS 1.3. Intel XeSS is big blue's equivalent to Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR, in that it provides a smarter way for games to render from a lower render resolution to a higher upscaled output resolution without putting a big dent in image quality. As a result, you can boost your Horizon Forbidden West frame rate while hardly noticing a difference in the look of the game. Read the rest of the story...

However, its performance on Intel Arc GPUs has thus far been affected by "longer than expected load times," which this latest Intel GPU driver download aims to fix. While our Horizon Forbidden West review found that other issues such as "a lack of ambition and a flat narrative" affect the storytelling of the game, we didn't otherwise encounter major performance issues on our Nvidia GPU-based test hardware. However, for users of Intel Arc GPUs the experience may not have been ideal, making the new Intel Arc GPU Graphics Drivers 101.5382 WHQL download essential if you have a graphics card such as the Intel Arc A770.
