It is DirectX feature level 11. Not DirectX 11. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_levels_in_Direct3D#Direct3D_12 Though DirectX 11 does have a feature level 11 I'm pretty sure it means Direct3D 12 feature level 11.
We have finally been able to download and play the PC version of Forza Horizon 3, and here is the result of our session with the game running on ultra settings at 4K (thanks to Nvidia's DSR). It is important to stress that the following commented video was recorded this morning, and that the latest Nvidia drivers were not available. The warning message from the game saying that our PC was not up-to-date might explain the slowdowns we have seen at 1080p. In the following video, you'll also see a few drops, but it's not too bad considering the resolution. Pop-in remains a bit of an issue too on PC, especially in the forest, as shown in the last part of our footage. We doubt 4k will run at a steady 60 fps frame-rate after installing the drivers, but they should definitely help improve the overall experience. Enjoy the video!

Thanks. I wonder what specs are that.
i7 6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 Go RAM (DDR4), Windows 10, Nvidia GTX 1080 Founder's Edition MSI
Blim's TV is 4K but that's about it, and Blim does not play much.
We're downsampling because we don't have a 4k capture card that can do 60 fps, and I personally don't have a 4k display (and have no intention to invest in one)
Framerate smoothing.... That option got my intrigued. HYPEEEE
From the comments.
If you have a good GPU, i'm pretty sure that i5 2500 could work a lot better than a Xbox One....Wish I could run it with an i5 2500... looks great! Oh well, xbone for me

How processor-limited do people expect this to be? I have an i5-3750k (currently at stock speeds) and am hoping that won't be a huge bottleneck at 1080p.

this is kinda where I'm at also. I have i5-2400, which is technically under minspec, but in Apex I get 1080/60 on my system (rx480 card). Makes me think I should be fine to hit those, especially with how well Apex runs
You most likely won't be bottlenecked at all, especially not at only 60fps. Your CPU is already way ahead of the X1 and for 1080p60 the GPU will be the limiting factor.
Aliasing is pretty bad, you basically have to use MSAA or downsampling.
I guess you can't use SMAA injectors on UWP games.
Not if the game was optimized for 6 cores.

The recommend CPU posted earlier here is i7 3820. That's a 4-core, so I assume that's not an issue, unless I'm missing something.
Yea something's wrong here, the Xbox version looks better.

I have a 3570k 8GB and a 7970.
Just hope I can run this at 1080p with nice settings,

The Nvidia Driver fixed the FPS issues while driving, another video from Gamersyde is coming
The promise of new drivers is always something to hold on to when a game does not perform as well as it should, and the release this afternoon of Nvidia's latest ones has proved us right. While we were experiencing quite severe stuttering issues this morning, even at 1080p, our time on the game with the new drivers has been 99% smooth with DSR 1440p. The (minor) drops are now really rare, and they have no negative impact on the experience. We can now say we are relieved for all those who are eargerly waiting for the PC version to unlock on Friday (Ultimate Edition only obviously). If you need proof, simply check out the video inside.
Note: Let us remind everyone that 60 fps racing games don't look very good in streamed videos, even when using our stream, which is way better than YouTube. That's why we advise you to take the time to download the file.

Almost same setup but I have an OC'd 7950. Fingers crossed.
I'm kinda sad I missed that free update to Windows 10...
The new gamersyde vids with the drivers. Encoding still.

YT version. Looks like we are gonna get a solid version. Fingers crossed.

Lots of hitches in the framerate. Same as Apex in Brazil. Their streaming tech doesn't fit in pc for now. No buy.
Are we watching the same vid? And they say nothing about it?
I'm talking about the quoted video? What do you mean?
