You can clearly see the aliasing being more prominent compared to Quality mode/PC on higher settings.

And here is the cockpit comparison, this was the only place in both games that the lighting was the closest. I will post some other screenshots of cockpit view in other lighting conditions from both games that do both games more justice. But man its hard to get the lighting matched in Forza Horizon 5 because of the lack of tod setting/control. Literally waited 20min to get the tod as close as possible. And this is not even the best lighting condition of both games but this will do it. For the cockpit view my choose would be 80% of the time the cockpits in GT7 just because of the better shaders and more finer detail. Both games had car models with better polygons than each other but GT7 had 90% of the time better materials and finer detail so i choose GT7 for the interiors.

GT has the better interiors, clearly you can see the developers spent more time crafting those.

I, personally, never use the cockpit view in a racing game ever. I like a nice far-chase camera.

FH5 interior looks like toys.
Or maybe it is just the color palette.

And here are the best of Forza Horizon 5 that show one of the better interiors

Edit - I took some more pics with HDR but I forget to remove the HUB.

I think I will take only SDR PNG now.

Very hard to compare when the rendering engines are so different between games. I guess I have to lean towards GT7 as it looks less like a video game than FH5.

Great shots fella and exactly how I see the game when I‘m playing, which hopefully gives a better understanding to those wondering why I seem to be more enamoured by GT7s visuals. The way the materials react to the lighting, the natural colours and shadowing, gives the game a greater sense of realism. PD have also massively improved the sense of speed by the use of motion blur. I’d say both games are top in their current class, visually, for different reasons.

Tons of edges more visible on GT shots. FH5 higher poly or GT doesn't know to use some tessellation?

With these shots, there is an obvious problem with FH5 and it's those mirror reflection, they are clearly overdone. I have around 150 hours in the game and it really bothers me.

One thing to consider is that you can move your head around in the GT7 cockpit, however, it is a static view in FH5.

?

You can freely move left and right in cockpit view during gameplay.

On top of that you can inspect interior in great detail in Forzavista mode with animations for car start-up etc. This has been a thing since Forza Motorsport 4:

I think Turk1993 Turk1993 is about the only guy you can trust in this forum. He plays all the games, and has no obvious affiliation or agenda. Other folk can’t see past their own console (it’s funny seeing all the old names resurface with this thread’s resurrection).

I’m personally not a big sim fan, but I do like a good looking car game, and I think they all look great these days!

GT has fantastic interiors.Although you can see the polys,mainly on the Merc wheel, the materials and lighting are top notch. Also both games go for different directions, one is arcade and has a more lively colour palette that doesn't work well with some PBR materials. When Forza Motorsport is out, we'll have more appropriate comparisons, because on a track the environment is completely different and they tend to use realistic lighting.

That said, to me, AC with mods looks the more realistic game.

Are you looking on mobile? If not open the pic in full screen… it will be even more evident if your monitor is 4k.

There is no way to not see the aliasing on back that is the easiest to spot.
This is what im seeing lol i literally cannot see the picture

And not only that, there's also a dynamic camera called "drift camera" in FH5 (also in FH4 btw), but it's not enabled by default. It's not only for drifting, I'd say it's almost mandatory for normal racing as well, it's awesome. There are a lot of parameters for it so just tune it to your liking.
 
GT7’s lights and materials look better - everything else is forza probably - but the lights and materials look amazing how do they do that makes it look super real

It their ForzaTech engine it also use on Flight Simulator 2020 and it looks great.
Gran Turismo really need to up their game on the environment detail it looks really soft to me when comparing to other racing game.
