Hi everyone, I’m trying to play forza horizon 3 on PC and have been having nothing but troubles! I love the game but cannot play it due to lag and stuttering problems on and offline.
I could not get any significant help from xbox and their seems to be no actual support for the game SO ive came to the forums to ask people who know more about it than me
I don’t really have any other racing games but other shooters run smooth as butter without an issue in most cases.
I have a windows 10 home edition 64 bit OS
any ideas? ive tried a lot including signing in and out, I would have uninstalled and reinstalled the game but cannot find the game files, I have tried making the game high priority under task manager, ive tinkered with settings and with previous help to no prevail.
I see it is a relatively common issue to have problems with forza 3 on PC but its just odd I can play any other modern game just fine and not forza :S
THANKS
You can track your utilization with software like MSI Afterburner (no matter what brand your GPU is !) to check for CPU, RAM, GPU, etc.)
Someone asked for FM7 today … with a GTX 1060 3gb gpu too.https://forums.forza.net/turn10_postst114770_PC--Low-framerate-and-weird-performance-behavior.aspx
Just did a quick check for FH3 …
1080p 60fps @ everything on lowest: min 2874, max 3100+
Same GPU, different game, same problem, imho …
You can overclock and change what you want, the bottleneck is your 3G VRAM.
FM7 needs more than 3gb @ 1080p, no matter what quality settings.
Check the utilization on your machine to see it by yourself.
If you want solid 60 FPS you need to change something that really effects the VRAM (= lower resolution !!!).
Turn10 doesn’t say minimum of 4gb VRAM for 1080p for no reason.
Test it for your system and post a screenshot.
I recommend to log CPU for every core, GPU usage, GPU power, GPU memory usage, and RAM usage.
It will log the utilization in the background while you are playing.
used that program and it said during gaming it used 100% cpu usage almost constantly on all 4 cores, and the GPU spikes twice to almost 100% b ut it was literally a spike for a split second during the time I was on other than that it was OK. RAM usage was at 7816 MB max, which I guess would be 7.816 GB which being 8GB is my max…
plus game runs relatively smoothly except for when I am like above 100 MPH or in a busy area like the city… just going slow in the desert my framerate is OK
if I had to take a stab at it, I need more ram? does any ram work? what do I do about my CPU do you guys have any suggestions? should I try lowering ALL graphics to minimum? I don’t know if that would matter because it seems the GPU is holding its own, which means graphics aren’t the problem?
thanks alot
