Thanks a ton for this video! Nothing else comes close to this guide. Here are my personal optimal settings for the best Visual to performance ratio. 04:08 - Anisotropic Filtering - High 04:40 - Shadow Quality - High 05:38 - Night Shadows - On 06:04 - Environmental Texture Quality - Ultra 05:53 - Environmental Geometry Quality - High 07:36 - MSAA - Off if you have TAA enabled. Else MSAA 2x for 1080p and above 08:31 - FXAA - Off 09:01 - SSAO - Ultra 09:39 - Reflection Quality - Extreme or Ultra 10:31 - World Car Level of Detail - Ultra 11:19 - SSR - Ultra 11:47 - Lens Effects - Medium 12:21 - Shader Quality - Ultra 13:12 - Particle Quality - High 14:09 - Motion Blur - Ultra if you want to keep it , Deformable Terrain Quality - High, RTX - Off
Thanks for that, i'll continue making more detailed videos like this. Will concentrate on Forza Horizon 5 for now, but will definitely be doing some other games in the future.
This is a really well made graphics comparison video. The only thing that I wished you looked at for all settings is VRAM usage. Some of the settings that had no performance difference, but there probably would've had a performance hit if you had less VRAM available, which most of us don't have as high VRAM as you do. Besides that though, this is an insanely well made graphics comparison video.
Great job bro, thank you for this. Some observations: Yes, there are particle effects on the benchmark: the water spray. I can see a slight change with different particle presets in my system, both in density of this spray and in avg framerate. Call me crazy but I'm pretty sure environment geometry quality rules draw distance of the vegetation as well. I'm setting this to extreme (and taking the big performance hit) just because of that.
Thanks for the info, i'll have a look at the draw distance. I didn't go into what setting controls that at all. Water spray is definitely particles. If you take a look at my latest video on the subject, jump to the particle section, you can see a bunch more examples on particles in game. Link below. ua-cam.com/video/3pU7AMTbd_Y/v-deo.html
it's been said many time already but still had to say it. Great review and I appreciate all the effort (tons of hours!!!) that went into this. Really well executed.
After watching the whole video I was surprised you had only 850 subscribers, I can obviously tell you put a lot of effort into the makings of this video, also well explained and the recommendations are the cherry on top, you just earned a new subscriber!
Thanks! This was my first attempt, it will only get better from here! Better presentation, better methods and hopefully simple clear information so users can tweak their game easier!
Ive noticed that in the daylight (when sun has brighten up the roads ) shader quality does make some differnece in shadowing under the car (like right exactly below the car)
Wow for a channel that doesn't even have 200 sub this is the highest detailed graphic video I have seen, well done! Subbed, Hope you grow fast bud. I dont think I ever subbed to a graphics compare channel but the quality of this video compelled me. You should do more you are really good at this!
Great video man! I was looking for one of these! A note, SSR doesn't have extreme options at least not in my game. Edit: medium is not listed so is confused with high and so on :D. Also on Lens effects, what you say is different of what is written :P Anyways, I look forward for the more in depth video! Have a sub :D
Yikes, thanks for pointing these out. I will make sure that I do double check on my labels data next time. You are spot on with SSR, the labels are wrong. It should be ULTRA > HIGH > MEDIUM > LOW > OFF. I double checked and the order of the data is still correct, and the % gains are correct, just the wrong text labels. This was my first video like this, i've definitely already learned a lot and refined the process for the next one! I've added an extra check step along the way to make sure this doesn't happen again! 👍
Very high level and knowledgeable analysis for my taste. Will use your data to change my settings and yeah it takes a huuuge chunk of time to test all these so thank you. +1
Thanks! Really appreciate it! I just wish I had a wider variety of cards to test with, 3080 is very top heavy. I'm going to work on that one for future videos.
I have a 5700xt with latest driver and I'm getting around (1440p): 100-120fps (2x msaa, going too 4x then I'm set). I think its nice too know. You could get some really nice views with your benchmark videos cause they are good
@@Adam-010 Great! thanks for the info, i definitely plan on doing more videos like this in the future. 100-120fps is a pretty damned nice framerate to play at. MSAA 4x over 2x is such a small difference in visual quality for a moderate performance hit. I'd turn up more of the flashy graphics settings like reflection quality and lighting before raising MSAA to 4x, but if you're happy with it, then go for it! Awesome game...
@@HecticRun np (150fps on fh4 with 4x) this is the type of game where i want those jacked edge's elimenated. It's by far the best race game that I played (need for speed :( but... Fh5 suffers from a very bad draw distance now unfortunately
@@Adam-010 Even on my 3080, when i crank up all the level of detail you can tell it's struggling in some spots, especially when you're smashing through fields of objects. That's at 4k though.
Thanks a lot for this, I was able to mess with my settings to boost the visual quality of the game with close to no performance hit. Very useful and high quality video and I you earned a new sub!
Thanks for the comment Ult1m0! I would like to do some more of these videos in the future. It's a lot of work! But i nejoyed doing it! It did help that i love this game so it was easier for me to learn about the game and it's graphics functions.
your recommendations actually worked to give that sweet spot! Great channel! And please consider 1660 super when you will get medium and low budget cards for settings recommendations! Looking forward to your settings analysis for more games in future! All the best!
my rx 570 4gb recommend settings is low but high settings im getting 60-90 fps i tried anything ultra extreme except texture quality high, geometry high, shadow high im getting 40-50 fps
Thanks Tim, it was my first attempt ever to record a video like this. I have a few improvements I'll make for the next one, hopefully I can keep up the level of detail!
Man that was a really nice video! It would be nice if you could put the summary of the recommended settings on your description, or at the end of the video.
Hi Huaie, i would have liked to do that! It's just hard with this game because what worked for me on the 3080, would most definitely not work for a lot of other cards. I know people would have liked this, in future games that i do, I will hopefully be able to add this information as i am collecting a range of cards to get accurate data with! Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@HecticRun Oh yeah, I forgot that part! But you could do like one for high end, and one for middle end or something. But great video nonetheless man! I put my settings on Ultra in my 2080 thanks to your video. I was playing on Extreme, but after seeing that there was basically no difference between Extreme and Ultra, I just stayed with Ultra and got a boost of 40 fps! So thank you!
@@HecticRun definitely did man - i was playing on extreme with a 3080ti - getting around 67 to 70fps. your tip pushed it to 98-100 with no visual loss!
I will definitely be using these settings when I get a high refresh rate monitor, but right now I only have a 60hz. I just Vsync and max out the settings, except for a few.
Just a note about the world car LOD setting. It controls the quality of OTHER cars on the road, not the one you're driving, which is why the corvette badge doesn't change. Look at the Lexus in front and you'll see the bigger change
Hey there, it definitely does effect the car you are driving. It also effects the other cars as well. Take a look at this section in my latest video, it clearly shows the difference. This link jumps straight to the section. ua-cam.com/video/3pU7AMTbd_Y/v-deo.html
about night shadows, go to a road bar at night and look at the bar poles when hit by the light. when this setings is on the shadows of the poles will move as the car moves if this option is off the pole shadows will stay static. i hope you understand me sorry for my english :S
5:41 Night shadows control the setting of the artificial lights that turn on on night, you can see the spotlights have shadows on your video on ON but not on OFF.
I'm not running either of those resolutions but I can tell you that it doesnt really add anything to the game when running higher on than 60fps. In fact, it sort of feels more dynamic and realistic at a lower refresh rate
Great detailed comparisons, for both FPS and Visuals. I could’ve sworn you were one of those bigger graphics channels, all the best!
Thanks, one day i might grow up to be one of those bigger channels!
Thanks a ton for this video! Nothing else comes close to this guide. Here are my personal optimal settings for the best Visual to performance ratio.
04:08 - Anisotropic Filtering - High
04:40 - Shadow Quality - High
05:38 - Night Shadows - On
06:04 - Environmental Texture Quality - Ultra
05:53 - Environmental Geometry Quality - High
07:36 - MSAA - Off if you have TAA enabled. Else MSAA 2x for 1080p and above
08:31 - FXAA - Off
09:01 - SSAO - Ultra
09:39 - Reflection Quality - Extreme or Ultra
10:31 - World Car Level of Detail - Ultra
11:19 - SSR - Ultra
11:47 - Lens Effects - Medium
12:21 - Shader Quality - Ultra
13:12 - Particle Quality - High
14:09 - Motion Blur - Ultra if you want to keep it , Deformable Terrain Quality - High, RTX - Off
Nice detailed info bro, wish you the best
Thanks, you too!
My environment kind of clumps together, so trees and objects look low quality, any tips
This video made me subscribe. I usually don’t on the 1st video I see from a Content Creator. Exactly the detail needed and well explained.
Thanks for that, i'll continue making more detailed videos like this. Will concentrate on Forza Horizon 5 for now, but will definitely be doing some other games in the future.
Probably the best comparison I’ve ever watched. Very well done. Would love to see more comparisons like this for Forza Horizon 4 and other games.
Dude, you won a like and a subscriber, really nice video, keep it up.

Really good comparison video. I am really impressed. If you add a summary for the recommended settings, it would be perfect. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Rafael!
it's been said many time already but still had to say it. Great review and I appreciate all the effort (tons of hours!!!) that went into this. Really well executed.
You will get higher. The level of effort you put into this video. Hats off
Thanks!! I hope i can keep making good videos for people!
After watching the whole video I was surprised you had only 850 subscribers, I can obviously tell you put a lot of effort into the makings of this video, also well explained and the recommendations are the cherry on top, you just earned a new subscriber!
Thanks for the comment! Yes it was a lot of work, but totally worth it. It seems to have helped a lot of people and that's the best result for me!!
Awesome job, top quality! That's what I was looking for since Hardware Unboxed don't make these graphic settings comparison videos anymore
Thanks! This was my first attempt, it will only get better from here! Better presentation, better methods and hopefully simple clear information so users can tweak their game easier!
Definitely did save me some time, thank you for the video.
Glad it helped!

I normally don't sub to benchmark test channels, but you really did an amazing job with the overall format and quality. Very epic
when i first saw this vid i for sure thought you had 100k subs, the content you make is amazing
Maybe one day! Thanks for the comment Sandy!
awesome Video! it would have been really nice if you´d added an overview of all the settings at the end so it´d be easier to set them in the game
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely do this next time!
3:53 3080 GTX
Havent heard of that one.
Great video very helpful, thank you
It's a new model, coming out soon ;) Glad you liked the video!

Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate the kind words. I'm planning on doing more!!
Finally a great optimization guide, other ones told me to turn off SSAO while it makes 0 fps difference
Thanks! I'm glad you think so!
ssao is glitched , wierd lines appear on screen especially when on wet roads , but yes no difference in performance is true!
WOW! After this settings Forza looks amazing on my laptop Radeon RX6600M. Thank you very much!
Thank you for share it with us! I now able to modify setting in right way🌟✅✅
Awesome, you're welcome!!
You are my hero .the best video ever for people like me that are not so technichal on computers.ty som much
This is one of the most complex comparison I have ever seen. Nice work!
Thanks, I hope it wasn't too complex to follow! The next one is worse!
Earned a sub mate. High quality content. A bit more work on ur mic static sound in my opinion and you could be one of those 200k Channels
Thanks! I agree on the audio! I will learn how to record the audio better before my next video.
U deserve so much more attention!
What a good job. Keep it up!
Thanks Wiski!!!
dude such a good guide, you’re the man! Keen for the open world settings benchmark, you earned a sub :)
Open world benchmarks are presenting a bit of trouble to repeat the same accurate results. I've almost got it nailed!
@@HecticRun that’s all good bro take your time, you’re doing great waiting is no problem, thank you for your work!
Great video man! I was looking for one of these!
A note, SSR doesn't have extreme options at least not in my game.

Why would someone have to dislike when this guy did so much work in a video .. people are just hard to predict.
It's ok, the world is full of different people! I'm glad you appreciate it!

Thanks for the detailed comparisons and benchmarks, a lot of work was put into this, very much appreciated, subscribed!
Thanks Carlos, it was a lot of work but i enjoyed making the video!
thanks this is best one among optimization videos
Great job bro, congrats
Subbed. I have been waiting for a comparison like this since the game launched. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the sub! Appreciate it!
Subscribed, definetly enjoyed this detailed vids! keep it up man
Thanks!! I plan on doing more in the future!
Great optimization guide man 😎
I love this kind of videos, u should make it for more new games, cos there isnt
much of these on yt

Glad to hear, Thanks for letting me know!
Again, greatly appreciated!
Great detail and explanation of graphical settings just what I need with my 2060 laptop!
Glad you liked it!
you got a sub! can`t wait for the budget card showcase
I have more budget cards now, probably enough to do a half decent budget showcase.
Great work 👏 subbed. Hope to see more optimization guides in the future. All the best
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks to you I managed to make the game looking great without breaking the performance.
Great to hear!
This was an insanely helpful video,please do more and thanks!!

I will definitely be using these settings when I get a high refresh rate monitor, but right now I only have a 60hz. I just Vsync and max out the settings, except for a few.
Thanks for this video
Just a note about the world car LOD setting. It controls the quality of OTHER cars on the road, not the one you're driving, which is why the corvette badge doesn't change. Look at the Lexus in front and you'll see the bigger change
Hey there, it definitely does effect the car you are driving. It also effects the other cars as well. Take a look at this section in my latest video, it clearly shows the difference. This link jumps straight to the section. ua-cam.com/video/3pU7AMTbd_Y/v-deo.html

@@HecticRunwhat's recommend on or off
@@TheJustifier17 on, cuz it has minimal fps cost, and it looks really nice
Very good film, thanks very much

Great work! Are you running 4k 60fps? Your thoughts compared to 1440p high refresh?
I'm not running either of those resolutions but I can tell you that it doesnt really add anything to the game when running higher on than 60fps. In fact, it sort of feels more dynamic and realistic at a lower refresh rate
this really helps

Awesome! Thanks Erkan!
Really great Video! I have a rtx 2070 super and im not sure if you would define this as a middle or high range card. Anyway keep your work up💪
