Best Forza Horizon 5 settings for the AMD Radeon Vega 7 (iGPU) (2026)
On a AMD Radeon Vega 7 (iGPU) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Forza Horizon 5 runs at roughly 41 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 15FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD Radeon Vega 7 (iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Forza Horizon 5 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 41 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 15 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 41 FPS at 1080p and 25 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 14 FPS at 4K. Forza Horizon 5 offers ray tracing, but the AMD Radeon Vega 7 (iGPU) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Forza Horizon 5 supports DLSS and XeSS. Exceptionally well-optimised - upscaling mainly helps at 4K or on weaker GPUs.
Ray Tracing (Reflections)Offsaves FPS
Ray-traced car reflections - makes paint and chrome look stunning but costs 15-20 percent FPS. Worth it only with headroom.
Reflection QualityLow+12% FPS
Screen-space reflections on car bodies and wet roads. A big visual impact - High is the sweet spot.
Shadow QualityLow+8% FPS
Resolution of car and scenery shadows. High looks great and runs well.
MSAAOff+8% FPS
Hardware edge smoothing - heavy at higher steps. 2x is plenty.
World Car Level of DetailLow+7% FPS
How detailed other cars look at distance. High is fine - barely noticeable at race speeds.
Night ShadowsOff+6% FPS
Dynamic shadows from headlights at night races. A moderate cost; Off is a common competitive pick.
Environment GeometryLow+6% FPS
Roadside detail and object density. High is plenty at race speeds.
Ground CoverLow+5% FPS
Grass and foliage density along the road. Easy saving in lush environments.
Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)Off+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Low/High is a cheap, good-looking choice.
Particle EffectsLow+4% FPS
Dust, smoke and sparks. A small saving during crashes and drifts.
Environment TexturesUltra-1% FPS
Surface detail - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps road markings and tarmac sharp into the distance - effectively free, use 16x.
