Forza Horizon 5 is a 2021 racing video game developed by Playground Games and published by Xbox Game Studios. The twelfth main instalment of the Forza series, the game is set in a fictionalised representation of Mexico. It was released on 9 November 2021 for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Forza Horizon 5 is currently exhibiting an issue with Nvidia GPUs and their 1% lows- something we are told the company is actively investigating, so we'd hope for a fix soon. That said, at 1440p the 7900 XT delivers 159FPS on average, putting it roughly level with the RTX 4080, while at 4K it's only marginally behind once again. However, the gains versus the 6900 XT aren't huge – with just a 20% increase gen-on-gen at 4K.
