Forza Horizon 5 PC Performance Review and Optimisation Guide

4K Performance Tested – Extreme Preset

At 4K, Forza Horizon 5 looks incredible, offering gamers crisp visuals and a level of detail that is not seen in other racers. With GPUs like Nvidia’s RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti, 60 FPS framerates are maintained during most situations, with gameplay offering a similar performance profile to the game’s benchmark during races. 

For GPUs like AMD’s RX 6800 and Nvidia’s RTX 2080 Ti, minor reductions in graphics settings are enough to enable solid 60 FPS framerates. For GPUs like AMD’s RX 5700 XT, using high settings will be enough to enable steady 60 FPS performance. The same should be true for the RTX 2060 and GTX 1080 Ti. 

High framerates in Forza Horizon 5 are relatively easy to achieve if you avoid the game’s Extreme preset. Extreme settings are for extreme hardware.
