Keep in mind that these specs refer to the desktop versions of these cards, so if you're toting a laptop around with a GTX 1060 GPU, it might not hit the recommended specs as intended.
Laptop components are weaker than desktop ones, so a laptop with a GTX 1070 GPU or even an RTX 2060 GPU might be the safer bet. If you need help picking out a laptop to play Horizon Zero Dawn, check out our best gaming laptops page.
