On November 9th, forza Horizon 5, the next-generation racing masterpiece Forza Horizon 5, officially met with all of our players. As the newest game in the Horizon series of racing games, Playground Games has brought us a broader 1:1 map of Mexico while inheriting a solid gameplay.
Of course, every time the Forza Horizon series of games has just been launched, there must be some traditional imperfections, such as server failure, game card screen, flashback and other small problems. Even so, Forza Horizon 5 is still the most popular game for gamers in recent times.
There are more ways to get into The Pit for Forza Horizon 5, the most popular of which are XPGU and STEAM. XPGU is naturally not much to say, newly register a member and then go to a treasure to buy XPGU services can enjoy MS many games, and just "Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5" is in the XPGU free experience game.
As a STEAM fan, the author directly gave more than two hundred dollars to G Fat.
Back to Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5 itself, it's quite an exaggeration to host the biggest Forza Motorsport Carnival ever held on this part of Mexico. why? Because the 1:1 Map of Mexico is really big, with different real terrain, including 11 different tracks such as the player's favorite highway, jungle, desert, town, and even beach, and during the game (during races or missions) there will be more extreme sandstorms, heavy rain, strong fog and other weather.
Even if you're a free-driving person, enjoying the sunset and sunrise by the beach, going to the crater for geological exploration, or even looking for an old castle in the forest is a good choice. Of course, this article is not about how to play This "Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5", but to discuss with you the "Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5" configuration requirements analysis.
Test Platform Introduction:
Before we test, let's introduce the platform used in this test:
The processor uses Intel's latest 12th generation Core processor, the i9-12900K, which is mated to the ROG Maximus Z690 APEX motherboard, and the memory is the Zhiqi Ripjaws S5 Flame Edge DDR5-5200MHz CL40 32GB memory set.
Web download
The download speed of the STEAM version of "Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5" is still relatively acceptable, and the water pipe of the author's 500M Telecom can also pull the download speed of 70MB/s. Download is only the first step, as the main game of MS, it is still necessary to log in to your MS account; but in recent times the MS server response is really slow, I don't know why there are several times the network is not on the chain.
Hard disk occupancy
Forza Horizon 5's hard drive occupancy reached 101.31GB, which is not much different from the official requirement of 110GB hard drive capacity. Here it is strongly recommended that you must put the game in the SSD SSD to run, otherwise the game will load super slowly.
Let's take a look at the usage of the Forza Horizon 5 processor, and when you start a new game, the game will prompt you whether to automatically optimize the picture quality. With the Sotime RTX 3070Ti 8G6X PGF OC graphics card is extremely high quality by default, let's take a performance test.
You can see that when running the test program built into the game, the average processor usage is only 30%. The performance of the 12th-generation Core processor in the game is still quite good, the performance core occupancy is not high, and the energy efficiency core has been in a low-frequency situation.
I believe that the current cheap memory price (in addition to DDR5 memory), the "Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5" game occupies 5.9GB of content is really not too high, after all, most netizens are now using 8G *2 sets, memory occupation really do not have to worry.
Just said that the choice of hard disk is the best SSD SSD, in fact, it is best for qualified netizens to use NVMe SSD. Using the values monitored on HWINFO64 software, The maximum value of The HDD when Forza Horizon 5 is loaded in the Gen4 SSD can reach a maximum of 569 MB/s, and the highest value of the SATA SSD is about 480 MB/s.
In fact, the highlight of this test is the comparison test of game fluency and picture quality, "Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5" built-in a relatively complex scene of the running circle racing race BENCHMARK test program, which can facilitate us to adjust different picture quality and fluency according to our own configuration.
This generation of Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5 has six different levels of preset quality settings, including extreme, ultra-high, high, medium, low, and extremely low. To experience ray tracing in the game (as shown above) you need to set the quality preset above the high level.
According to the author's subjective perception, the extreme preset quality in The Game of Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5 is the highest, but when the car speeds up, the ultra-high quality preset can provide higher fluency, and the immersive experience of the whole game is better. Of course, if your computer configuration is really not good, you can reduce the picture quality according to the preset suggested by the game and enjoy higher fluency.
Summary: From the 1080p, 1440p, 2160 three resolutions, and 6 presets, soté RTX 3070Ti 8G6X PGF OC graphics card ideal resolution of 2k 1440p, and ultra-high quality presets this file, both enjoy the more delicate picture quality advantages brought by high resolution, but also have higher fluency, with a 2K IPS Donkey Kongo display is a first-class experience.
