On modern GPUs, this doesn't affect performance much if at all. Motion Blur Quality (2 percent): Adjust the quality of motion blur, with a negligible impact on performance.Įnvironment Texture Quality (<1 percent): Uses higher resolution textures for the environment, which requires more VRAM, though 4GB is enough for ultra. Shadow Quality (5 percent): Improves shadow map resolution and quality, and lower settings cause a noticeable difference in how the game looks. Overall performance in the benchmark improves by 3 percent with this turned off, but only about a third of the benchmark is at night, so during night scenes the actual impact is higher (about 9 percent). Night Shadows (3 percent): Enables shadows cast by headlights and some street lights at night. Relative to 'extreme,' ultra runs about 24 percent faster, high runs 54 percent faster, medium is 65 percent faster, and low is 87 percent faster (give or take a few percent for margin of error).Īnisotropic Filtering (<2 percent): Improves texture clarity, with little to no performance impact on modern GPUs. Global Preset (110 percent): Going from maximum to minimum quality obviously has the greatest effect on performance. Percentage increases are relative to the 'extreme' settings. I then set each option to the minimum allowed setting and tested performance again. For the following performance estimates, I ran the benchmark sequence using a GTX 1070 Ti at 1440p with all settings at maximum (except MSAA, which I set to 4x). The game includes a built-in benchmark that provides a good idea of real-world performance based on my testing.

Several of the settings can be pushed beyond the ultra preset to an 'extreme' level, for those with more potent PCs. There are five presets (very low, low, medium, high, and ultra), and under the advanced settings menu you can adjust the individual items. Thanks, MSI (opens in new tab)!įorza Horizon 4 offers up 19 graphics settings, and as usual many don't cause a significant change in performance and/or visuals.

I'll get to those in a moment, but let's run through the various graphics settings first.Īs our partner for these detailed performance analyses, MSI provided the hardware we needed to test Forza Horizon 4 on a bunch of different AMD and Nvidia GPUs, along with AMD and Intel platforms-see below for the full details.

I'd assume 720p minimum at 30fps for a min-spec PC, and 1080p medium at 60fps for the recommended hardware, based on my testing results. Unfortunately, Microsoft makes no mention of the intended framerates and settings for the minimum and recommended settings. Graphics card: GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 290X (4GB VRAM).Graphics card: GeForce GTX 650 Ti or Radeon R7 250X (2GB VRAM).Here's what Microsoft lists as the minimum and recommended system requirements for Forza Horizon 4.
