Downloading on PC now. How's the ultrawide support? FH3 had some weird glitching at the edges of the screen for some reason.
It LOOKS good but too bad everything surrounding it could be better and kinda sucks.Thank you Microsoft for bringing this beauty to PC. The game is amazing, runs on ultra 1080p 60 fps with no drops on a i5 6600K / RX 580. The sound is amazing and the image quality jaw dropping. It's a must buy for me.
Graphics settings (or at least model quality) seem a bit glitched.
Left is my own screenshot at fully maxed out settings on PC, right is the XB1X:
Does Model Quality on FH3 go to Ultra? I seem to remember it being able to, but I can only go to High on FM7.
For who? The general crowd this game is aimed at or those expecting hardcore sim? I loved it... looks, sounds, and feels great IMO.It LOOKS good but too bad everything surrounding it could be better and kinda sucks.
The talk of the FFB being bad is killing me. Is there some unwritten rule that all the really polished racers with good visuals have shit FFB?? I mean, what is the point? What is the point making a racing sim with shit FFB? All that attention to detail in other areas of the game for nothing. Waste of time.
XBOX One impressions:
The demo graphics are actually pretty terrible. It's clear this game is waiting for the One X to drop. The Nuburgring graphics are especially dire. The cars look like they're floating on the road at the start due to extremely basic shadows, and textures look flat and lifeless.
The one redeeming part of the demo is that the lightning causes the cars to light up (a very cool effect), and driving semis is endlessly entertaining.
The Dubai track is like Seattle at rush hour, and was't fun in the slightest due to this.
Yeah, same happened here. Are you running a new version of RTSS that supports UWP by any chance? Maybe turn it off. Doesn't do good things for UWP games imo.
UWP games seem to be very sensitive to stuff going on with your PC it seems. Any kind of load seems to cause framerate problems. Forza Apex performance would deteriorate and improve with a reboot.
Feels like driving on ice.
I really want to like the Dubai circuit as it looks really nice, but I just can't. There's just no flow to it.
Same on the car outline too. Is that the chexkweboard issue mentioned in the release notes?Looks good, but what's with the mountains? Looks like they have an outline.
I was lucky to get a good connection and uninterrupted download.Windows 10 store never fails to not impress.
When I click on install, the store app instantly crashes.
Updated Windows 10 and everything.
Come on Microsoft, get your act together. Reminds me of the crazy Gears 4 download problems last year.
The benchmark is messed up. Nothing I change can get it to drop below 60 BUT scenary starts disappearing if I force all max settings.FH3 doesn't run at 60fps at 4K on a 980Ti. Unless you're talking about some points in the open world.Benchmarked settings on my 980Ti and it looks pretty rough. I can run Horizon 3 At 4k/60/high but only manage 1080p with this demo, and that's with lod issues and texture pop. The rear lights on an R8 in front of me were big grey squares until i got pretty close. Very weird.
- No in game FPS counter?
Yes it does, with suitable tweaks. All the time. I have the fps counter on all the time.The benchmark is messed up.

WTF with the insane amount of edges on the car on the bottom left??? PS1 cars? xD
Crash damage....

also the porsche scapes?
Sorry but that's complete nonsense. That's 1080/1080Ti performance.Yes it does, with suitable tweaks. All the time. I have the fps counter on all the time.
GTR handles great with the controller, truck too. That Porsche is garbage though, the truck handles better than it.
Definetely you never owned a PS1 ha
You can't turn off the shaky cam?
It is literally a dealbreaker.
Whatever. You know there are lots of settings to adjust, yes?Sorry but that's complete nonsense. That's 1080/1080Ti performance.
OK, just tested out the Dubai Full Circuit with a i7 4790K and GTX 1080ti. Managed to record with Shadow Play in Desktop mode with MSI Afterburner/RTSS overlay. Running the game at 4K60 (with DSR) with everything maxed out including AA.
The Good:
The game runs locked at 60FPS.
GPU utlilisation ranges from 43% (when driving alone) up to around 60% (on the starting grid), lowest was 40% in the tunnel alone.
The game runs smoothly with no frame pacing issues noted and the counter didn't stray from a 16.6ms frametime.
GPU memory usage is at 5837MB allocation so a 6GB card will do you fine for Ultra texture detail
Some people have mentioned lower clocked GPUs when playing the game, mine stayed locked at 1924Mhz
The Bad:
CPU optimisation needs work
Core 1 and 4 maxed out at 100% most of the time and others hovered around 20-25% including the virtual cores
Considering this is a DX12 game, I expected better CPU optimisation.
If you have a 980Ti, 1070 or better then 4K60 at Ultra won't be a problem (on this track) a 1060 6GB will also get you there with tweaked settings.
Personally, i'm not as blown away by the visuals as I was with FH3, I was expecting more.
Disabled Core 1 and almost every single stuttering is gone. There is still some there but it's better.
Same old ass fix that people used with Horizon 3 until Playground Games fixed it...two expansions later.

For people saying it runs sweet at X resolution - you are aware it runs dynamic settings by default and adjusts to maintain a target framerate?
