AMD RX 9070 Review ft. Sapphire

Forza Horizon 5 is a 2021 racing video game developed by Playground Games and published by Xbox Game Studios. The twelfth main instalment of the Forza series, the game is set in a fictionalised representation of Mexico. It was released on 9 November 2021 for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Engine: ForzaTech. We test using the Extreme preset, DX12 API.

Interestingly, Forza Horizon 5 seems to massively over-perform on these new RDNA 4 GPUs. At 1440p I have the 9070 coming in a whopping 29% faster than the 5070 – one of the biggest margins we will see today – and it's even faster than the RTX 4080 Super which is quite staggering.

At 4K the margins do change slightly, with the 9070 now 23% ahead of the 5070, but that's still a huge result for Radeon.
