A new update has been released for Horizon Zero dawn on PC, which has added support for NVidia and AMD’s Ai upscaling tech. The version 1.11 patch includes support for NVidia DLSS Upscaling and AMD Fidelity FX Super Resolution, as well as fixing a couple of bugs and tweaking a few things, including the game’s shader management system. Developer Guerilla Games Claims that this will reduce stutters during gameplay.
You can only use DLSS or Fidelity if you have a NVidia or AMD graphics card respectively. They work by using AI to upscale the resolution of PC games, allowing players to reach higher levels of graphical Fidelity while maintaining framerates.
Guerrilla Games said earlier this year that they would be offering fewer updates to the PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn as it shifts more resources to the games Sequel, Horizon Forbidden west.
The full patch notes are as follows:
HORIZON ZERO DAWN FOR PC – VERSION 1.11 PATCH NOTES
GRAPHICAL IMPROVEMENTS
-
- Added Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology.
- Added AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution, replacing FidelityFX CAS.
UI CHANGES
-
- Adjusted settings screen to facilitate the addition of DLSS and FSR.
- Render Scale option has been removed but same result can now be accomplished by adjusting setting Upscale Method to Simple and adjusting Upscale Quality.
- Adjusted settings screen to facilitate the addition of DLSS and FSR.
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
-
- Improvement to the shader management system. This will result in a few noticeable differences:
- There is no longer a shader pre-compilation step on startup. The game will always compile shaders during loading and in the background.
- Stutters during gameplay that used to occur due to background shader compilation have now been significantly reduced.
- Because shader compilation is still happening in the background you may notice the game having a higher CPU utilization while that is happening.
- Loading screens will wait for the required shaders to be fully compiled. This may cause loading screens to take somewhat longer on certain systems.
- On higher spec machines with faster CPUs the loading screens will typically be shorter, due to more efficient shader compilation that better leverages high-end CPUs.
- Improvement to the shader management system. This will result in a few noticeable differences:
