As explained in the analysis by ElAnalistaDeBits, this mode increases the frame rate to 40 fps while maintaining native 4K resolution. As a result, visual rendering outperforms Performance at 60fps and falls slightly behind Resolution, which boasts a better anti-aliasing filter at the expense of a frame rate locked at 30fps.
On the other hand, there are no differences in shadows, draw distance, and graphical effects. However, after setting the display refresh rate to 120Hz, the user noticed random stutters in all graphics modes.
In addition, Horizon Forbidden West’s performance mode is now able to exceed the 60fps threshold when VRR is enabled.
If you are undecided on the best graphics mode for Horizon Forbidden West, ElAnalistaDeBits recommends this performance mode with VRR, especially since the visual rendering problems have been reduced compared to the release version thanks to the patches published by Guerrilla Games in recent months.
