Horizon Zero Dawn™ Remastered

EARTH IS OURS NO MORE

Explore a vast, vibrant world filled with fearsome machines and the mysterious ruins of a long-lost civilization, remastered with stunning visuals and new features for PC.¹

Take up bow and spear as Aloy, a young machine hunter and outcast of her tribe, as she discovers her origins, the truth of this mysterious world, and her own destiny to save it from impending doom.

On her journey, Aloy will come across unique tribes, lively settlements, and compelling characters and companions.

But this open world is also teeming with wildlife and danger. Awe-inspiring yet deadly hostile machines patrol the majestic landscape, corrupted by an unknown force.

In combat, you will unleash devastating, tactical attacks utilizing an exciting arsenal of weapons against fearsome machines and nefarious rival factions.

I used Msync with high resolution mode off;
At the start of the game it shows, "No installed graphics card has been detected on this PC........."
But it works.

My screenshots showing settings of a good mix of visual quality and high fps. Fans are quiet most of the time.
Do !not! set textures to "Very High", it will exceed your memory and swap will be used - resulting in extreme slowdown.

With frame gen and some upscaling you can get a decent frame rate, but it drops significantly in some areas with a lot of visual artifacts
