Getting 1080p 60fps should be very doable on most high-end PCs. 4K, however, is where the serious questions start being asked.
Fun fact: you can cook dinner while playing in 4K. just put the raw food behind the video cards
all jokes aside, witcher 3 is more complex than forza (no disrespect to T10) imo, and i run that in 4K very decent
I found these computer requirements somewhere on internet (im not 100% if they are real)
Minimal:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460/AMD FX-8350 (But i think Phenom II X4/X6 should be also fine)
GPU: GTX 760/R7 260X (2GB VRAM)
RAM: 8GB
Space on HDD: 55GB
Recomended:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790/AMD FX-8370
GPU: GTX 980 Ti 6 GB/R9 Fury X 4 GB
RAM: 16 GB
Space on HDD: 55GB
yes i saw those too when the beta launched but you still need more power to run stable 4K
my current specs:
-AMD 8-core 4GHZ processor
-2x nvidia 980Ti’s
-32gb of Corsair VENGANCE ram
-Sandisk 480gb SSD
I meet or exceed the requirements this is why i said this beta needs optimization
I’m waiting for July to buy new RX 480
Atm my specs:
-AMD Phenom II X6 3.8GHz
-ATI Radeon HD6850
-8GB of Kingston Hyperx
Btw. do you guys know if there will be PC version to buy, or i need to buy one of these XO versions and it will work?
You’ll not need an Xbox One in order to play Forza Horizon 3 on Windows 10.

I would assume 16gb of RAM, any recent I7 and a 980 will do the job for 1080p/60fps using settings relatively close to the Xbox One.
For 4K this is going to be very difficult, I don’t see a single 980ti cutting it for 60fps.
980Ti can do 60fps in 4K just not stable and this maybe cause of the direct port from Xbox one, that’s my assumption.
If my computer cannot run Forza Apex, will it be able to run Forza Horizon 3?
What makes you say that ? A 970 struggling should not surprise anyone, after all it has its limitations like any other piece of silicon.
There are many well optimized games where a 970 can’t deliver a stable 60fps using the highest settings.
That’s an unanswerable question without specs, have you tried running Apex and getting the requirements error? or does your PC actually not meet requirements for Apex because there is a bypass you can use to get past the error. As far as FH3 it will likely and hopefully be optimized on release but likely similar requirements.
I hope it will use the GPU more. Apex is barely playable for me even though I have a GTX 970. Seems to rely too much on the CPU.
That’s interesting. What’s your other specs? I got 970 too and i can run it maxed out with 8xMSAA at solid 60 fps. It’s 900p though, hence my monitor.
And it’s obviously gonna be much more CPU demanding game, since it’s open world oposite to small Apex tracks.
No system requirements yet. I just hope the game actually uses all your rig! Forza 6 apex dosen’t even let you use more than two cores as far as I know (or multiple Graphics cards) My PC should be running apex fine, but instead I get constant stutters.
This!!
Sucks cause some of us have decent 4K rigs and when we monitor our rigs forza does not use full GPU or CPU, especially CPU at least APEX doesn’t.
Really hope playground games optimized horizon for SLi and for horizon to utilize more cores
I just hope horizon 3 won’t eat up an unneeded amount of VRAM like apex.
Most likely will. Killer instinct and quantum break are the same eating up ram.
Go look on newegg.com ram there is cheap especially DDR4 kits.
I got 32gb of DDR3 ram for $139, corsair too
Hopefully they further improve FM6 Apex and FH3 optimization. It is smooth 99% of the time, but once every couple races the game will just freeze for like 3 seconds before resuming. I used to get constant stuttering on every non-daylight track but that seems to be gone now. It also freezes on loading a race once in a while as well.
i5 3570k (no OC)
GTX 970
16GB RAM
VRAM ≠ RAM. Also, PCPartpicker is the best place to find computer parts/components in the US.
you should be more than fine doing 1080p. Your specs are good.
i’m sure with GTX 1080 SLI you can achieve 4k 60fps.
