A few weeks ago, during GCD 2023, NVIDIA confirmed this Forza Horizon 5 would soon receive an update that would allow the use of DLSS 3 exclusive features. Let’s remind you that the game that was one of our picks (namely my partner Juan) as the best game of 2021 is not an advanced simulation design as we can find it in Forza. The Forza Horizon saga offers us a more arcade approach, in which speed is combined with a spectacular environment on a map that you can explore from start to finish.

Forza Horizon 5 PC version has had support for DLSS 2 since early November last year and according to NVIDIA data, four out of five gamers with RTX GPUs enabled the feature to take advantage of the more than remarkable performance improvement provided by the AI-based resizing system. This is important for practically every type of game, but for similar titles in which speed and graphic quality must go hand in hand, it is simply priceless.

So, as you can see in the table below, the difference between enabling DLSS 3 or not while playing Forza Horizon 5 at maximum graphics settings on a system equipped with a GeForce RTX 4090 is no less than 70.8 frames per second, as we see a jump from 118.3 to 189.1. With the RTX 4080, the increase is 51.1 fps, while if we use the RTX 4070 TI, we get 47 fps more.

DLSS 3 support also comes at a particularly ideal time because coincides with the release of the Rally Adventure expansion, tomorrow, Wednesday March 29th, an extension that will take the festival from comfortable and reliable paved roads to an environment full of dirt, mud, rocks and all manner of natural elements. In this context, the improvement in image quality and frame rate offered by NVIDIA technology can make a significant difference in the enjoyment of the experience, because the better the quality and the more fluid, the more immersive the experience will be.

Let’s recall that Forza Horizon 5 is a game that can run well on “modest” teams, but is extremely demanding if we want to use the most advanced graphics modes. DLSS 2 supports democratic access to them for all users of GeForce RTX graphics adapters, and now with the transition to DLSS 3, it will be the happy owners of the RTX 40 series graphics card who will be able to make a huge qualitative leap in gaming. to the funniest driving arcade of recent times.
