For the Nvidia users with 39 fps, settings for new nvidia driver

Hello guys! This topic should be a little help for those who are struggeling with the right pc settings related to nvidia graficcards.

I testet the series x version and on pc with a rtx 3080 12 gb.
So the xbox version runs nearly perfect only some loading issues and clipping mistakes.
But the pc version was a fight for me.
Since the 5th I tried to find the best settings for me. And I mentioned that I am not the only one with 39 fps.

So here is what helped me.

  1. Turn v-sync off. Also in the nvidia control panel. On desktop, right click. In the control panel you can also set your grafic hardware to max Performance. Could also help.
    I use only dlss now on the highest option. Also use in fm unlocked fps. No v sync modes.

  2. Turn off raytraycing completely.
    I know it could looks fantastic when it works but this was the biggest problem for me. Maybe we have to wait for some patches but in this very early release this is not working very well.

  3. Set your right screen resolution. If you are using a 4k screen so use the right option in the settings.

All other settings I could set to the highest possibilities. My system runs now with 100 fps and it looks very good.
If you use an older hardware maybe you have try out to lower some settings.

Hopefully I could help you for the moment and I am sure that t10 will solve this issue.

Let me know guys if it works for you!

Happy gaming, cheers AJ

Hi again.
Yesterday I made a benchmark test that reached 80 fps.
So it is playable but this game need much more optimisations. I have a lot of loading issues with some tracks and also little freezes that are 1-3 seconds. That is not very often but it destoys fun with racing.
In game I am up to 100 fps but it feels like down 60.
We really need some patches asap

thanks for all help you are givng to others to enjoy the game
I am playing on Series but i am glad that you are doing it

Thx. But all I can say is… I play the series x version too and will turn off raytracing too.
Pc version isnt fun for me actually, very dissapointed.
Really not finished game in my eyes.

I have a 3090 and running everything on ultra/max, no dlss and get 45-65 fps in game on a 3840x1600 ultrawide. The same settings in Horizon 5 and I am getting 100+ and that looks superior imo. Unfortunate they postponed this so many times for a subpar product.

The simple answer to that is that FM is bugged at the moment. Also FM is running on a completely new engine, Horizon 5 is running on a very old engine that was first used in Horizon 3 and then they just modified it for Horizon 4 and 5.

So the reason you get 100fps in Horizon 5 is that the engine has been around since 2016. The engine in this new Motorsport is a lot more demanding as it was designed with at least a Series console in mind.

I’d also add, if you use DPI/Windows “Scale & Layout” to increase the size of text and images, it can also massively decrease fps in this game.

Is there a day one patch out already? Today is the normal release right?

Es ist zwar echt mega, aber ich finde die sollen für uns PC Spieler schnellst möglich einen großen Patch machen in dem man die Grafik stark verbessert, bis dati ruckelt es und stürzt ab, egal welche einstellung, da hat man eine 3060er Karte mit 12GB und amd ryzen 7 3800 XD3 und das spiel ruckelt, nervt brutal einfach, in endeffekt ist es noch nicht mal fertig das spielt in ihre Grundausstattung. Ich finde eines der Größte fan von Forza Motorsport so enttäuschen kann.

Nvidia had released a patch for fm right now. Will try this in a few moments and let you know

Ok guys. With the new nvidia driver fm runs better for me. Also I testet some new settings. I realized that dlss on balanced mode is the best I could do for my system.

But it is still not perfect. Have still this stuttering and track loading problems in gameplay. And raytracing is not working. Put raytracing off.

I have stable 90 fps now.
Here are some important settings for I worked out.

Dynamic rendering quality: ultra
Nvidia dlss: balanced

Fps mode: unlocked
Skale: auto
Antistop: 16x
Raytracing: off

All other settings on the highest.

Let me know if it works for you

Ran benchmarks yesterday and today with latest 537.58 driver and am seeing a 1-2FPS increase with the same settings with the best coming from ultra everything, ray tracing off and DLSS on auto. 537.42 on top, 537.58 on bottom
