Yes. The Arc A770 8GB is well above Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition's recommended spec. We estimate ~118 fps at 1080p high (range 94–141, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~82 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 6 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Arc A770 8GB back.
Processor needed for ~118 fps: Core i5-9400F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i7-4770K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 118.
