Despite being a generation old, the RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti are superb cards for enjoying Horizon Forbidden West at high resolutions. The graphics cards were launched for 1440p gaming and continue to deliver at these resolutions without major performance hiccups.

However, the GPUs are now old enough to begin faltering at the highest settings. It would be best to tweak the graphics options for the best framerates. This guide will list the best options for the 3070 and 3070 Ti cards in Horizon Forbidden West.
