Nvidia releases official Forza Horizon 6 Benchmarks
Forza Horizon 6 runs fast on RTX 50-series PCs
Alongside their GeForce 596.49 “Game Ready” driver, Nvidia has released official benchmarks for Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 6. At launch, Forza Horizon 6 will support ray tracing on PC alongside Nvidia’s DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution technology and Multi Frame Generation (up to 4x).
Nvidia has confirmed that Nvidia App users will be able to use DLSS overrides to enable DLSS Multi Frame Generation 5x and 6x modes alongside DLSS Dynamic Frame Generation. This enabled even higher framerates on RTX 50 series GPUs.
4K Performance
Below are Nvidia’s official benchmarks for Forza Horizon 6’s PC version at 4K Max Settings with ray tracing enabled. These benchmarks have DLSS Super Resolution enabled in Performance Mode with 4x Frame Generation enabled.
For Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090, average framerates exceed 200 FPS. For the RTX 5090, an average framerate of 337 FPS is possible. That’s faster than any currently available 4K gaming display.

At 1440p, with DLSS Super Resolution set to Quality mode, we see even higher framerates. Even Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti could achieve average framerates over 240 FPS. That’s exceptionally fast. It’s worth noting that DLSS Multi Frame Generation is enabled in 4x mode. Even then, that gives Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti a “real” framerate of around 66 FPS and Nvidia’s RTX 5090 a “real” framerate of over 100 FPS.

1080p Performance
At 1080p, even Nvidia’s RTX 5060 can achieve framerates of over 165 FPS. Not bad for Nvidia’s lowest-end RTX 50 series GPUs. Note that with DLSS Multi-Frame Generation set to 4x, the game is running at a base/real framerate of 41 FPS. Not bad for maxed-out settings with RT enabled.

If these benchmarks are anything to go by, Forza Horizon 6 should run great on most modern gaming PCs. That’s great news for PC gamers, especially those with lower-end hardware. If this is how the game runs when maxed out, I’d expect the game to run even faster with High or Medium settings.
