Forza Horizon 5 benchmark on RTX 4080 Super: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Forza Horizon 5 FPS with a RTX 4080 Super and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 237FPS min 128Excellent | 204FPS min 118Excellent | 141FPS min 97Excellent |
| High | 308FPS min 166Excellent | 266FPS min 154Excellent | 184FPS min 126Excellent |
| Medium | 403FPS min 217Excellent | 347FPS min 201Excellent | 240FPS min 164Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 270Excellent | 449FPS min 260Excellent | 311FPS min 213Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 57% | CPU 50% | CPU 32% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 4080 Super. There is 7% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Forza Horizon 5 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 4080 Super with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 237 | 296 | 344 | 503 |
| 1440p | 204 | 275 | 337 | 468 |
| 4K | 141 | 204 | 261 | 347 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 4080 Super does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RTX 4080 Super has headroom to spare in Forza Horizon 5: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RTX 4080 Super Enough for Forza Horizon 5?
The RTX 4080 Super delivers 237 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Forza Horizon 5. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 204 FPS and at 4K 141 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
