Anyone knows if you can somehow fake the Logitech DFGT into a G25 so the game will recognize it?
About to drop $100 on this but it will depend on this....

Forza Horizon 3 PC Performance Thread
- Thread starter SmartWaffles
- Start date
Or this is a dire case of unoptimisation.
It's happened before, some games just cannot hold high fps due to some inherrant design choice because it was targeted to run at 30fps.
I have the same specs as you. This shit has got me worried. :/
I hope you get it sorted out and please update if you do.

Seems like CPU bound, welp.

For a couple of moments I thought about getting this game + W10, but I'd rather wait for mass impressions (more people with the game, more data, more examples, etc). I can't stand stuttering and without knowing that I can get 60fps I won't risk it.

I'm more leaning towards that the CPU ultilization needs some work, the majority of the game have no such problem, but the sheer density of assets in the city might have triggered that threshold. I'll monitor core utilization in different areas tomorrow and see what is going on.
There is something I can't understand.
Every video showed for this game has hitches in the framerate that means the streaming in FH3 is not good enough. There is no PC gameplay in the net with perfect smooth framerate.
Also, Forza 6 Apex in PC has lots of hitches in the framerate in tracks with high asset density. (besides terrible framepacing issues).
So, WHY people buy day 1 these games with obvious performance problems?
It's really surprising.
I will say the same when performance thread for Mafia 3 appears in a few days.
I switched to my Xbox to play it there. Will do some troubleshooting tomorrow.
If the pc version has issues, I will just play the Xbox one in the meantime. That's the benefit of Play Anywhere.

Thanks, it's not quite common to see someone post their performance with a 980m.

A bit of fiddling around, a restart and a crash to desktop and I'm getting a solid 60 now.

Nice, what did you turn down?
But if the PC version has issues getting to a steady 60fps but is fine at ultra at 30fps, it'll still look better than Xbox while you wait for optimisations?
Are people seeing any drops below 30? Might lock it there for now rather than have a variable frame rate

I stuck MSAA up full and changed the power performance thing in GeForce when I turned off the game. It's using a hell of a lot more of my gpu now which is good.
Edit: sorry not full didn't realise there was 8x but I switched it to 4x

Maybe I'll stick to xbone only. Don't think my i5-2500 3.3 with r9 390x is going to do so hot :/
It's actually above the recommended sys req. They're recommending the i7 3820, which is a quad-core sandy bridge CPU just like the 2600k, but at a lower clock than 4.4ghz.
Funnily enough I can only lock my framerate to a divider of my monitors refresh rate of 144hz: 72FPS & 36 FPS
Atleast some of you guys can play ;D
The only thing that i get is an instant crash at the Playground logo with no Crash report to speak off
and it seems like im not the only one

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
i5-6500 closer to minimum or recommend specs?
Same CPU and clock speed. That's some horrible optimization if true.
Uh, that's a much more powerful system than the Bone. Even if you can't hold a solid 60 fps, you'd be able to lock the game at 30 fps (same as Bone version) but with overall better visuals.

That is how it should be. You avoid judder.
Minimum.
Nope. Not for me.
Edit: but I will try some stuff tomorrow. Looks like my GPU is bored for some reason. I'm monitoring temperatures in parallel and it's pretty low whereas it's 15 degree warmer in Any other demanding game.

I tell you guys this is a bad port. The beefy systems should be doing better than this. The city seems to be the worst area, and even that isn't exactly pushing eye melting graphics compared to some games. High end CPU's should also be flying through anything that this game has to throw at them
I think they just threw the bone version on PC and added an options menu. Come on Playground!

surely even if they did that, the 8 core CPUs should be chewing through it happily enough?

Just for information: You can get a refund up to 7 days after release due to technical problems according to Microsoft support.
I have been having a nightmare just getting it downloaded..never mind running it... Support says I'm good for a refund up to 7 days after release....
If that helps any..

Honestly, it really depends if the game is utilizing hyperthreading well. Outside of hyper threading the minimum and recommended CPUs are extremely close. 4 Core Ivy Bridge i5 vs a 4 Core SandyBridge E i7, with very close clock speeds. It's hard to just place a Skylake i5 between them without knowing how utilizes the extra threads.
Just to be clear, it's an i5 6500 not an i5 6500K? That didn't used to matter unless you overclocked but now Intel actually increases the base clock of the K variant processors out of the box.

What settings?

Not if the code hasn't been told to properly make use of them. In simplistic terms of course!
Damnit man. What's with UWP games and stutter? Gears, Apex, now this?
BBQMan

ultra running well over 60fps but the stuttering kills it. Turning down the settings does nothing.
And its installed on an SSD.

Might assume PG / Turn 10 did not do enough testing on this one, reports I gathered are also all over the place, while on my own PC other than the city being a mess it is pretty much perfect at 1440p/1620p, no stutters, sometimes a small framedrop due to asset streaming upon entering a different big area. Didn't find any other inconveniences so far in about 4 hours of play.
How often does it stutter?
Wait, newest Nvidia game ready drivers?

I think I will be locking at 4K/30fps for the time being until they get some performance patches out. If I can even attain that.
I won't condemn it yet though as I haven't actually tried it myself.

Reports here don't have me too optimistic about my performance on my new laptop, i7-6700HQ and GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB DDR4, obviously all laptop performance components.
I'm only targeting 1080p, 60fps, Xbox One equivalent settings at a minimum (so just hoping to double the framerate of the XB1 version). More is always welcome, of course, but seems this release build and drivers maybe aren't quite polished enough?
Maybe I will be playing my XB1 version for a bit. Will keep the game installed on my laptop for now and hope an update smooths things over, but it's a disappointment that's the case here.
I'll still try it when it unlocks for me tonight and will try to report my results. My specs are relatively modest compared to some users, and my target is pretty modest, too, so we'll see. MSAA being seemingly broken, or poorly implemented, is a bit of a shame for the IQ.
EDIT: Btw, are some users using Shadowplay to track their framerates? I have found since I got this laptop that Shadowplay seems to introduce stuttering into some games that otherwise perform just fine, at least visibly. I started getting occasional hitches and stutters in GTAV and Witcher III with the Shadowplay FPS tracker on, but with no Shadowplay enabled and my FPS tracker off, it looks and feels smooth -- and the stuttering is QUITE noticeable with it on. The FPS counter is the only feature I had enabled, no benchmarking or anything else switched on. I didn't use Shadowplay on my old i7-3770k+GTX 970 desktop, so I don't know how well it fared before -- maybe it's a recent driver issue on nVidia's end?

Yeah that seems like a potential fix for the time being. Maybe this UWP App isn't maxing out the GPU unless it's forced to.
That shouldn't really explain the weird goings on with the anti-aliasing though.

Helios can you comment on the poor MSAA implementation?
