Forza Horizon 5 is an open world arcade racing game. It is already the fifth part of the popular Forza Horizon series, which stands out with crazy races in a huge open world. The new part follows the ideas laid down in previous versions, but at the same time brings many improvements, as well as completely new interesting elements never seen before. The game is positioned as the largest in the series in all respects.
First of all, it's the largest map ever, and it's also highly detailed, with hundreds of miles of roads and rugged terrain, as well as scenic landscapes. The above is about Mexico. This region was chosen due to the diversity of natural areas. Players will be able to visit such colorful places as the jungle, endless deserts, snowy mountains, sea coast, huge cities, bridges and much more. Everywhere you can find interesting beautiful places, as well as an abundance of racing competitions and other content.
THE GRAFICAL PART |
In this subsection of our review, the main graphical aspects of this game are revealed. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphics settings and the quality of the development of the main visual aspects.
SUPPORTED OC AND GRAPHICS API |
Forza Horizon 5 is only supported on Windows 10/11.
The priority and primary graphics API for Forza Horizon 5 is DirectX 12 .
GAME ENGINE |
Forza Horizon 5 runs on ForzaTech's own engine, which makes full use of DirectX 12. The engine was developed to be used by Turn 10 Studios in the Forza series games. Playground Games took it as a base and made some improvements, adapting the game to the open world and to modern hardware.
While working on Forza Horizon 4, the developers used a technology called photogrammetry. Its peculiarity lies in the possibility of transferring images from high quality photos to ready-made 3D models. That is why in the game the objects look so realistic and as close as possible to the real world.
Forza Horizon 5 uses High Dynamic Range Imaging.

Our video cards were tested at resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1600 and 3840x2160 at maximum graphics quality settings.
DLSS and FSR technologies were not tested in the annual total, as they are not supported in all games and will not affect the score in the final rating.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX and GTX graphics cards provided by LLC Business Development Center.
GPU TEST |
In the test of video cards, the default resolution is 1920x1080, other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most productive CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.
At a resolution of 1920x1080 , an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the level Radeon RX Vega 56 or GeForce GTX 1070. A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon RX Vega 56 or GeForce GTX 1070 level . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by the Radeon RX 5700 XT or GeForce RTX 306 0 solutions.
At a resolution of 2560x1440 , an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the level Radeon RX Vega 56 or GeForce GTX 1070. A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon RX Vega 56 or GeForce GTX 1070 level . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX 6700 XT or GeForce RTX 2080 s solutions .
At a resolution of 3840x2160 , an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the level Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce GTX 1080. A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon RX 6600 XT or GeForce RTX 2070 level . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by the Radeon RX 6900 XT or GeForce RTX 308 0 solutions.
Testing of the video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the MSI Afterburner program. The results on video cards from AMD and NVIDIA at resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 with various anti-aliasing settings were taken as the indicator. By default, the graph displays the most up-to-date solutions. Other graphics cards are added and removed from the chart at the reader's request.
