ElAnalistaDeBits has released a new video analysis that compares the 40fps balanced mode of Horizon Forbidden West introduced a few weeks ago on PS5 with the others available since the launch of the exclusive PlayStation by Guerrilla Games.
Horizon Forbidden West Patch 1.17 was released on July 6 and introduced VRR compatibility and a balanced mode for supported displays. As explained in the analysis by ElAnalistaDeBits, this mode brings the framerate to 40 fps while maintaining the native 4K resolution.
Consequently, the visual rendering is higher than that of Performance at 60 fps and slightly lower than that Resolution, which boasts a better anti-aliasing filter at the expense of the framerate anchored to 30 fps.
On the other hand, there are no differences regarding shadows, draw distance and graphic effects. However, the YouTuber has noticed random phenomena of stuttering in all graphics modes by setting the refresh rate of the display to 120Hz.
In addition, with VRR active, Horizon Forbidden West’s Performance mode is now able to exceed the 60fps threshold. On average we are not talking about an increase in the abysmal framerate, but in any case very welcome.
If you are undecided about which is the best graphics mode for Horizon Forbidden West, ElAnalistaDeBits recommends that Performance with VRR, especially considering that the sacrifices in terms of visual rendering compared to the launch have decreased thanks to the Patch published by Guerrilla Games in recent months.
