– Virtual memory and change the value in the initial size and max size to (your RAM size) then apply and restart your pc.
Btw, choose the disk where you have the game installed.
For me, since I have 32GB of RAM, the number 32768 worked well. It depends on how much RAM you have. For example, use 8192 for 8GB of RAM.
Game priority above Normal
You need to open the game.
Task Manager – Find Horizon Zero Dawn – Right click – Go to details – Find Horizon Zero Dawn again – Set priority and choose any above Normal – For me High or Realtime worked well.
Game settings – Display
Open the game, go to Settings, then Display, Display mode and select Borderless.
Turn off overclocking in windows 10/11 + power options
Then click on Change plan settings – Change advanced power settings – Processor power management – Set both minimum and maximum to 99%
