Forza Horizon 5 PC Performance Review and Optimisation Guide

Preset Scaling – How Scalable is Forza Horizon 5’s PC version? 

Forza Horizon 5 is an incredibly scalable game on PC, offering gamers enough graphical options and settings to scale from high-end to top-tier gaming PCs. There are even settings beyond Forza Horizon 5’s Extreme preset, which are enough to tax GPUs like AMD’s RX 6800 XT/6900 XT and Nvidia’s RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 Ti. 
 
Moving from Extreme Settings to Ultra Settings and High settings presents tremendous performance gains. For older graphics cards with pre-RDNA and Ampere GPU architecture, even larger performance gains are possible. Playground Games has created Forza Horizon 5 to tax the latest GPUs from AMD and Nvidia, so much so that newer GPUs often outperform their older counterparts, especially at Ultra or Extreme settings.
