📋 About This Mod
Horizon Forbidden West optimized settings
Though the game is well-optimized, some settings can be tweaked to increase the performance without losing visual impact.
I was getting around 70fps on average in ultra settings, but after applying these optimized settings, my fps cranked up to 90+fps on average.
Game Version: 1. 3. 55
1. Download the compressed file.
2. For auto installation: Double-click on Graphics.reg and add the registry file.
3. For manual installation: Follow the images given in the folder.
4. Copy and paste nvngx_dlss.dll, nvngx_dlssd.dll, and nvngx_dlssg.dll to the game installation file (Where the HorizonForbiddenWest.exe is).
In-game version 1. 3. 55, it mentioned that they fixed the Nvidia Reflex on+boost, but it needs to be properly fixed. So, I recommend turning this off until they fix it properly.
The latest DLSS version (3. 7) is included. So, use the DLSS upscale method if you need to.
