On a NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Forza Horizon 5 runs at roughly 105 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 106FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Forza Horizon 5 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs great at 1080p — about 105 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 105 FPS at 1080p and 63 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 FPS at 4K. Forza Horizon 5 supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti (laptop, 8GB) can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 106 | 105 |
| 1440p | 64 | 63 |
| 4K | 36 | 63 |

Use a balanced preset, keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Reflection Quality and Night Shadows down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
