YouTuber plays Horizon Zero Dawn on GeForce GT 710 in 72p – Gaming – Geeks

No, that’s not a typo: to make Horizon Zero Dawn somewhat playable on a GT 710, at least in terms of frame rate, YouTuber zWORMz Gaming had to lower Horizon Zero Dawn’s rendering resolution on PC to 128×72 pixels.

“I’m pretty sure this is the render scale option is “, says zWORMz before going from 144 pixels in height to 72 pixels in the options menu. Anyone viewing the images will immediately see why: at 144 pixels the text on the screen is already unreadable, which is much worse at 72 pixels The option is the lowest that the game supports. “It looks like a Gameboy Advance game, but it really looks pretty good”, says zWORMz. He also finds it ‘quite playable’, he even knows some kills to make.

To make the game playable, the extremely low resolution is necessary. Even with this setting, the game runs at an average fps of 19 and one 1% low of 14fps. However, compared to the average of about 3fps on 1080p Ultra, the game is doing really well.

All in all, the map does not seem particularly suitable for the game. Not surprisingly, at the time of its release, it was already seen as a suitable part for an HTPC and not for a gaming PC. The graphics card was announced in early 2016, has 192 CUDA cores running at 954MHz and standard 2GB GDDR5 memory. According to Userbenchmark compared to the GTX 1060 6GB, the most popular card among Steam users, the video card is an overwhelming 1577 percent faster than the GT 710.
