Forza Horizon 5 at a glance
Forza Horizon 5 is a racing game from 2021. The recommended graphics listed by the Steam store page: NVidia GTX 1070, AMD RX 590, OR Intel Arc A750. It asks for 16 GB of RAM (minimum 8 GB).
Our estimate: you need about an RTX 2060 12GB for a steady 60 FPS at 1080p High, while a GTX 960 can hold around 30 FPS on Low. The game is moderately demanding on the processor; a Core i5-7600K or better keeps up with 60 FPS.
