Forza Motorsport on PC will support native resolutions up to 4K and higher, and render ultrawide and non-standard resolutions for on-track gameplay. Although you can unlock framerates in single-player, framerates are locked to 60FPS in multiplayer.

Photorealism, realistic physics, and AI simulation are the selling points of Forza Motorsport, which means you’ll need a lot of PC and laptop hardware power to be able to benefit from everything Xbox Game Studios developed.

We’ll present in this guide all the hardware requirements and system possibilities to play Forza Motorsport and how to find your hardware specs in case you don’t know or just forgot.

Forza Motorsport system requirements for PC and laptop

As expected, Forza Motorsport won’t be a game for low-hardware PCs and laptops. The franchise is known for its high-quality photorealistic graphics and realistic physics, which require a lot of power.

Some requirements matter more than others, but the RAM, GPU, and display memory (VRAM) are the ones that will impact the most in a game’s performance. RAM will affect responsiveness and framerates, while GPU and VRAM will affect the graphics.

It’s important to note that Forza Motorsport on PC doesn’t support Intel GPUs at launch.

Ideal system requirements for Forza Motorsport

  • Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit or higher
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-11700K or Ryzen 7 5800X
  • RAM: 16GB
  • GPU: NVidia RTX 4080 or AMD RX 7900 XT
  • Direct X: API DirectX 12, Recurso de Hardware Nível 12

How to find your PC and Laptop’s specifications

If you are not sure what are your PC or laptop’s specs or if just forgot, you can use the Direct X Diagnostic Tool to find out. It’s an easy process and you’ll have all the information you need to know if you can run Forza Motorsport.

Here’s the step by step-by-step on how to check what are your PC specs:

  • Press Win + R.
  • Type dxdiag and hit Enter.
  • Click on yes if a window talking about the PC information pops up.

Most PC and laptop specs will be on the System tab, but you’ll need to go to the Display tab to see your GPU and VRAM specs information.
