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.

Engine: ForzaTech. We test using the Extreme preset, DX12 API.

Next up is Forza Horizon 5 and the results here are particularly interesting. For starters, Nvidia GPUs get an absolute kicking by their AMD counterparts in this title, with the RTX 3090 Ti 9% slower than even the RX 6800 XT at 1440p, making it 16% slower than the RX 6900 XT.

I'm not sure if this game just isn't as well optimised for the Ampere architecture as it should be, but the 3090 Ti isn't even scaling well against the RTX 3090 – even at 4K, it's just 4% faster on average, still making it 7% slower than the RX 6900 XT, making this the only game I tested where the 3090 Ti can't beat the 6900 XT at the 4K resolution.
