Horizon Forbidden West PC port analysis: Another game that can exceed 8GB VRAM use

We’ve benchmarked the PC release of Horizon Forbidden West on 22 graphics cards, including most current generation cards along with a few representatives of previous generation hardware. The game runs decently on mainstream hardware at 1080p and medium settings, but the higher settings can quickly tank performance on cards with less than 8GB of memory, and 12GB is necessary for 4K at maximum settings.
