ok this is pretty epic!
My rig: I5 4690K with GTX 980
Pre patch i had to run some very odd settings (see below) could get almost locked 60fps in the outback and anything from 60-38 in surfers paradise.
Pre patch settings and screenshot
After patch using old settings
So thats 42fps to around 71fps I can now crank the settings to muuuuch higher levels and have it locked 60fps, the game actually looks nice now!

Your screenshots aren't showing. Link to the actual image not the webpage that contains the image
Anyone else experiencing this? Only impression I've read that mentioned micro stutter.

Wouldn't turning off MSAA and just using FXAA pre-patch have helped as well?

LOW VIDEO MEMORY pop up on 2gb gpus is still present
yeah but it looked really bad, and the boost wasn't as good as the sacrifice
The whole point was that even on more-than-capable systems, there was an artificial bottleneck before this patch in some areas for people. Something that even turning everything down to minimum couldn't completely clear up. It's why people are pretty stoked that the improvement it so visible, so far.
Just tried the demo and it's still a stuttery mess for me with a Titan X Pascal. Just curious if it's just the demo. Anyone with the main game who has performance improvements want to try the demo? I'd be so appreciative! Just want to make sure before I lay down fifty bucks.

Oh my god they finally fixed it. I can hardly believe what I'm seeing but it's true. Forza Horizon 3 at 60FPS! I can finally retire Xbox One version now.

Someone is gaming on their work server.
Thanks man, Its stuff like this that is really holding easy PC gaming down you shouldn't have to do silly workarounds
On a 4.5ghz 2500K with a GTX 1060 and it is running better now. It's not perfect but it's less messy.
In about 30-60 minutes of quick testing:
-On a mix of Medium-Ultra the forest races still are nowhere near a locked 60 but are more playable than before
-Freeroam is close to a locked 60 pretty much everywhere minus the occasional annoying hitch/micro stutter
-Speed traps and such seem to consistently produce a stutter for me when I trigger them

2x Xeon E5 2690 @ 3Ghz approx $1000.00
128GB DDR4 approx $13,000
XFX Radeon RX 480 approx $200
One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong.
Start > Settings > Apps > Forza Horizon 3 > Advanced options > Reset.
Because your internet is advertised by Comcast / whoever else in megabits/sec, not megabytes. It's standard internet practice, and the same is done on Xbox and many other platforms.
Yeah, it was updated today. I'm pretty sure the app is actually showing MB/s when it's supposed to be Mb/s like in the screenshot above. Good job MS, can't even do that right.
Looks like there's a bug in localization of the text. I'll let the right people know.

Only had a chance to play for about 10 minutes but it is definitely better for me on a 3570 with a 1080. Still had a few drops in surfer's paradise though.
Haha yeah, gave me a chuckle
The demo hasn't been updated yet, it's in the pipeline though.

Windows store downloads are just embarrassing. It can't even tell me how much I need to download/speed/progress etc, the most basic stuff, come on!
Thank you!

You have to update your store
I'd be very interested in these numbers. And sad that my GPU is now considered lower end. :')
If anyone's curious about mid-range performance...
-i7 6700 (non-k, stock)
-GTX 1060 6GB
-16GB RAM
I can either get a rock solid 4k30fps on ultra everything everywhere no micro stutter, no rare dips anywhere.
Or
Medium settings (preset) 4k with 50-65fps. Surfers paradise will dip to low 50's in the trouble spot with the trolley street. Outside of there it hovers in the mid to high 50s or low 60s.
I'm sticking to 4k30ultra, but that 4kmedium performance is pretty rad. The fact that i can get 50-60fps at 4K medium is a pretty big upgrade. For comparisons sake, when the game first came out I was playing at 1080p and no matter the settings, the game would hover around mid-high 40's in Surfers Paradise and dip randomly as mid 30s in the trolley street with other cars racing by.

i7-920 here at 4ghz. I've just played a quick session to try things out and I'm getting 60fps locked at 1440p (with a GTX 1070). It'd drop to 45-50 at 1080p before; so yeah big improvement even on an old ass CPU like mine!
Great news.
Will buy during a sale, which will be never, because I will never know when this shitty store has sales on games I am interested in.
Xbox sales have always big threads on Gaf. Keep a eye on that.

Store updated yesterday, when my FH3 download starts it just shows downloading a 5mb update and sticks at 4mb.....I have a 200mb connection.
It won't even update skype FFS.
While good that it might be fixed eventually, it also showcases yet again how slow these downloads can be from the MS store. Utilizing ~40Mbit out of my 500 available, even on a really bad day I still get around 100-150Mbit down from Steam which usually comes close to or maxes out my connection.
Right now I'm getting 4Mbit/s (or not even downloading anything at all) and have downloaded a total of 11GB in just over an hour. 11GB usually takes around 5 minutes for me to download from other services. This is so frustratingly bad.

Posting mine:
Pre rendered frames at 3? Isn't the input lag a bit much?

That's great, thanks for the update! Silly question, how will we know the demo has been updated?
I have no clue how that works, that was the default when autosetting ultra. Only thing I've touch is vsync (got gsync), dynamic optimization and mssa turn off.
Gonna try and see if I can feel a difference, ty.
It is recommended for variable framerates.

Did a quick 10 minute check with new update.
i5 4690k @4.2ghz, GTX 970 OC, 16GB Ram.
Smooth 60fps everywhere including Surfers Paradise with everything set to high, MSAA x2 and FXAA, 1080p.
This really did fix everything. No micro stutters at all. It's like I upgraded my PC. Well done T10.

Different version number I'd imagine, plus we'll let the community know beforehand. We hope to have this available within the next couple of weeks but don't have a firm date set at present.
