ASUS ROG NUC 970 Review

Horizon: Forbidden West

Can the ROG NUC 970 tame the Forbidden West?

Horizon Forbidden West is a demanding release. Without upscaling, it is hard to achieve 60+ FPS framerates at all times using the game’s high preset. However, it must be noted that this game was made with variable resolutions in mind. After all, this is a PlayStation 5 game.

With DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation, higher framerates are achievable at 1440p and 4K. That said, it is clear that the ROG NUC’s GPU is much better suited to 1440p gaming than 4K gaming.
