The first two rows are the publisher's numbers. The rows below are our own estimates from the scoring model.
How to get the best frame rate in Forza Horizon 5
The publisher's minimum for Forza Horizon 5 is NVidia GTX 970, AMD RX 470, OR Intel Arc A380 with Intel i5-4460 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200, and the recommended hardware is NVidia GTX 1070, AMD RX 590, OR Intel Arc A750. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a Radeon RX 590 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 1070 does the same at 1440p, and an Arc A770 at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
Racing and sports games reward a steady frame rate over pretty settings. Cap the frame rate at your monitor's refresh rate and lower shadow and reflection quality if it dips in crowded scenes.

Memory and processor
Memory
Minimum 8 GB, recommended 16 GB. 16 GB is the comfortable amount for current games.
Processor
A processor like the Ryzen 3 2300X meets the recommended CPU level. For many fps in fast games, a quick CPU matters as much as the graphics card. Check your pairing.
