Forza Horizon 5's final system requirements for PC have been announced

This seems widly varied. They "recommend" a GTX 1070 but ideally suggest an RTX 3080? That's a huge gap. The 3080 is about 2.5x faster than a 1070!

 

1070 is recommended for 1080p and 3080 is for 4k.

 

so would min be 1080p at 30 fps, rec be 1080p at 60 fps and ideal be 4k at 60 fps? Recommended should really be for 1440p.

 

Nope, 1070 is way too low for 1440p requirements.
There's minimum specs (~720p), recommended specs (~1080p) and ideal specs (demanding 1440p - 4K gameplay)

 

I guess his point was that recommended SHOULD be 1440 instead of 1080 which is so damn ancient resolution in PC gaming already. Minimum requirements should be for 1080 because nobody has less than that anymore.

 

That changes when the Steam Deck releases.

 

Every handheld is still using still 720p.
