FXAA (another type of anti-aliasing) is also turned off even when you're using the Ultra quality setting, so you can switch that on for even smoother edges if your graphics card is up to the task. However, it's worth pointing out that the top Ultra setting doesn't actually max everything out, so if you fancy even prettier shadows, motion blur, dynamic geometry (that is, better draw distances and surrounding detail), reflections, windshield reflections, and superior anti-aliasing, you can shunt all of those up another notch (some to EXTREME) if you feel like your graphics card isn't being challenged enough. I stuck with the game's preset quality settings during my tests, as most cards ran Forza Horizon 4 so well that I felt little need to start tweaking them.

As you can see below, it shouldn't be too difficult to get Forza Horizon 4 up and running, no matter how aged your graphics card might be. Happily, I'm pleased to report that Forza Horizon 4 is a real beaut in the old graphics card performance department, as even the ancient GPUs I've got accruing in my collection can handle it at decent settings without stalling and coming to a grinding halt.īut before we dive straight into how each graphics card got on, let's take a look at Forza Horizon 4's minimum and recommended PC requirements. Playground Games had a lot to prove with the PC version of Forza Horizon 4 when it first came out last October, as its Australian-themed predecessor Forza Horizon 3 needed its fair share of PC pit stops when it launched back in 2016.
