Forza Horizon 5 benchmark on RX 5500 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Forza Horizon 5 FPS with a RX 5500 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 40FPS min 35Acceptable | 25FPS min 22Poor | 9FPS min 8Unplayable |
| High | 52FPS min 46Acceptable | 32FPS min 28Acceptable | 12FPS min 11Unplayable |
| Medium | 68FPS min 60Good | 42FPS min 37Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| Low | 88FPS min 78Good | 55FPS min 49Acceptable | 20FPS min 18Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 36% | GPU 60% | GPU 86% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 5500 XT. There is 5% 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.
FSR 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 RX 5500 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 40 | 50 | 58 |
| 1440p | 25 | 34 | 41 |
| 4K | 9 | 13 | 17 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5500 XT has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RX 5500 XT is what caps the frame rate in Forza Horizon 5. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 5500 XT Enough for Forza Horizon 5?
The RX 5500 XT delivers 40 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Forza Horizon 5. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 25 FPS and at 4K 9 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
