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. (Wikipedia).

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

Forza Horizon 5 is next and continues to impress with its level of optimisation. The B580 delivers nearly 100fps, even at Extreme settings, putting it on par with the RX 7600 XT and 6% ahead of the RTX 4060.

1440p is very playable too, with an average of 81fps, still right in line with the 4060 and 7600 XT, but also a 29% gain over the A750.
