What kind of PC you need for a comfortable game in Forza Horizon 6: processor and graphics card

Processor

For stable performance and high frame rates, Intel Core i5-14400 or Ryzen 5 5600X (1080p) processors will do, and for more demanding settings, Core Ultra 7 265K or Ryzen 7 9700X. High single-core performance is important for fast physics processing, dynamic weather, and large numbers of NPCs on tracks.

Video card

Forza Horizon 6 scales well with modern GPUs in 2026.

• For 1080p/60fps, go for the RTX 5060 / 5060 Ti or RX 9060 XT.

• For1440p/120fps - RTX 5070 / 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT.

• For 4K Ultra - RTX 5080 or RTX 5090.

What kind of PC you need to play Forza Horizon 6 comfortably: other components

RAM

16-32GB RAM for 1080p and 32-64GB RAM for 1440p-4K is considered optimal. The game makes heavy use of RAM to cache textures of the large open world.

Storage device (SSD)

NVMe SSD is a must! Forza Horizon 6 quickly loads location scales and textures in real time, so HDD simply won't do the job. A fast SSD will minimize model subloading during races and teleportation.

Motherboard and power supply

A motherboard with PCIe 5.0 support is recommended to fully maximize the potential of the GPU and SSD.
Power supply - from 650W for mid-range and 850-1000W for systems with RTX 5070-5080 (with 80+ Gold certification).

Optimize PC and graphics settings

To maintain high FPS and stable performance, we recommend:

• Activate DLSS/FSR Quality Mode for smoother images.

• Enable V-Sync only when necessary to eliminate frame gaps.

• Reduce shadow or reflection quality if FPS drops below 60.

• Set the graphics mode to High at 1440p - the perfect balance of quality/performance.

For a better gaming experience, we also recommend choosing the right peripherals for your PC, allowing you to enjoy the game without limitations.
