Review: Forza Horizon 5: PC graphics performance analysis

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/10/2021 04:48 PM | source: | 44 comment(s)

We'll be adding Forza Horizon 5 PC to our graphics card benchmark suite as Raytracing title, as such, we figured why not commence a nice little performance review based on raytraced results, which can be applied to compatible GeForce and Radeon graphics cards. We'll test the game on the PC platform relative to graphics card performance with the latest DXR compatible AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards.

But the difference is lower.
In benchmark r6800 perform below expected performance.

It was the same story with fc6 where amd performed better with ingame benchmark but ingameplay not so much.

"Forza Horizon 5 PC will be included to our graphics card benchmark suite as a Raytracing title"
"Our main test will be raytrace based"

This game does not use Raytracing while "playing" (driving your car), only in Forzavista/garage (showcase of cars). So, I don't think it is a good candidate to include it as a Raytraced game in benchmark suite.

There is a mod to add it to the actual in-game:
