Yesterday I tried Forza Horizon 6 for the first time as I finally got my hands on a Game Pass subscription that Microsoft long denied me due to its convoluted and janky account system. And while the gameplay is fun and quite close to what I already experienced in Horizon 5, the performance genuinely surprised me, especially considering how good the game looks.
When I fired the game up, it automatically set itself at the “Extreme” preset. “Sure,” I said, “why not? It never hurts to see whether your rig can handle the heat.” After all, I do have quite a beefy graphics card: the RX 9070 XT, but it’s nevertheless far removed from Nvidia’s top offerings in both raw rasterization and, particularly, when it comes to ray tracing.
