Forza Horizon 3 - first GPU/CPU benchmark

Idk I got a friend on a 980 and he has wound up setting the game to 30fps lock for a more consistent experience. I'm waiting on my ram tomorrow to find out if ultra is possible on my 290X, but probably going to just lock it anyway. The game is just not consistent fps on cards last gen or older.

 

This is a 30fps engine, unless they actually tweak it otherwise, you'll need a monster to basically double the speed of all the internal timings it has.

 

So I got my new ram and I can play on ultra 30fps without much fps drops, however now I get random texture flickering in the city. No other game has issues with my setup so I can only guess that it is the AMD driver or the game having issues. Medium 30fps lock didn't flicker though. Anyone else got a similar issue?

So the flickering was so bad at night I went back into the festival area to switch cars and now everything is just black. What the hell man?

Been playing for a while. So post patch performance seems a tad worse in some places. But Ultra 60fps 1080p on my rig is impossible. I can do 30fps no sweat and with frame smoothing it feels great. So let the engine run 30fps like it does for console, I am not bothered by it.

Now if they could fix the whole DISCONNECTED FROM HORIZON ONLINE thing where I have to disable my mic to not drop from online. That be peachy.

 

Any updated benchmarks for the game, OnnA?

 

got another update, first update that reduces stutter for me, its a lot better.

looks like it maxes first core again

 

Not yet, maby Hillbert do some in spare Time.
Many ppl says that this update is great for their older CPUs

 

another update, ram usage is up and no more stuttering, first cpu core still maxed.

 

Does it has built-in benchmark? I got new i3 6100 +16gb ram and RX 470 NITRO 4GB and Philips 5K monitor. was ablw to run it on Med on 5K @30~35 FPS! (FYI 5K=~ 2X 4K).

 

And it is.

 

I had that ages ago, I needed to turn ON Windows Firewall to use the store.

 

Yeah, you know what helps? Refresh

 

It's understandable that the Store might not work correctly if Windows components are not configured properly, but they at least need to implement some kind of warning when you change some defaults (like UAC).

 

Actually no, refresh caused my Mum's laptop to constantly fail updates, rollback and re-download everytime the computer was turned off. It happened for a month before I went to fix it, literally couldn't find any other way than having to do a fresh install.

 

I just plug in my USB with Original MS ISO from my MS account profile
And Hit Update -> It is always better than Install everything from ground up :nerd:

 

I know this a month later, but I had to completely reset the store to update the game or install any apps.

Once I did that, it completely fixed it and has had no issues since.

Game runs damn awesome now. Even @ 5070x1080 with a single 290x.

 

How did you do that exactly?

 

Run Command Pr. as Admin

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

and
Store reset -> WSReset.exe

 

I think it's the second part only, right?
