Forza Horizon 6 PC Performance Tested – 13 GPUs Tested

Introduction – Forza Horizon 6 PC Tested

Forza Horizon 6 PC Performance Review

Forza Horizon 6 will be available on PC on May 19th, but Premium Edition owners have early access to the game. We’ve been using this early access period to benchmark the game across a range of PC hardware configurations, including 13 GPUs from AMD and Nvidia across various hardware generations.

Forza Horizon 6 promises to be the most scalable Forza game to date. The game is designed with a vast array of hardware configurations in mind. This includes Microsoft/ASUS’ ROG Xbox Ally handhelds, Microsoft’s Xbox Series X/S consoles, PlayStation 5, and both high-end and low-end gaming PCs. Has Playground Games done enough to please everyone? Well, that’s what this PC performance review is about.

For high-end hardware, this game supports ray tracing. Beyond that, this game supports a variety of upscaling solutions, including AMD FSR, Intel XeSS, and Nvidia DLSS. For Nvidia RTX users, DLSS Frame Generation is also available at launch.

GPU Drivers

To test Forza Horizon 6’s PC version, we used the newest GPU drivers available from AMD and Nvidia. These are AMD Software 26.5.2 Driver, and Nvidia’s GeForce 596.49 “Game Ready” driver.

OC3D Gaming Test Rig Upgrades

We’ve made a lot of new additions to our gaming test setup over the past few months. We now have Nvidia RTX 50 GPUs as part of our GPU test suite. Thanks to Nvidia, we now have their RTX 5070 and RTX 5080 Founders Edition GPUs in for testing. This will allow us to test features like DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation and better look at the newest RTX showcases.

In August, thanks to Sapphire, we also upgraded our gaming test suite with AMD RDNA 4 graphics cards. Today, we have a Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 XT Pulse and a Radeon RX 9060 XT Pulse. All of these new GPUs are great for playing modern games, as you will soon see in Forza Horizon 6.
