Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 3% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for Forza Horizon 5, it is not worth it. 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 4GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	FSR Quality	FSR Performance
1080p	35	44	51
1440p	20	27	33
4K	7	10	13

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5500 XT 4GB 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 4GB is what caps the frame rate in Forza Horizon 5. A faster processor would hardly change the result.

The CheckFPS verdict

Analysis based on real in-game FPS, not spec sheets

Is the RX 5500 XT 4GB Enough for Forza Horizon 5?

The RX 5500 XT 4GB delivers 35 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Forza Horizon 5. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.

At 1440p it gets 20 FPS and at 4K 7 FPS at Ultra quality.

Frequently asked questions about Forza Horizon 5 on the RX 5500 XT 4GB

How many FPS does the RX 5500 XT 4GB get in Forza Horizon 5 at 1080p?

The RX 5500 XT 4GB averages 35 FPS in Forza Horizon 5 at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 45 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 77 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the RX 5500 XT 4GB manages around 20 FPS at 1440p and around 7 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the RX 5500 XT 4GB run Forza Horizon 5 at 60 FPS?

Not on Ultra — it averages below 60 FPS at every resolution. Dropping to Low at 1080p gets the RX 5500 XT 4GB to about 77 FPS in Forza Horizon 5, and AI upscaling helps close the gap to 60.

Do these Forza Horizon 5 figures include upscaling or ray tracing?

No. Every FPS figure on this page is native, with no AI upscaling and with ray tracing off. The RX 5500 XT 4GB has no ray tracing hardware, so that option is off the table for this card.

How many FPS do I gain by turning on FSR in Forza Horizon 5?

At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the RX 5500 XT 4GB from around 7 native FPS to an estimated 10 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the RX 5500 XT 4GB?

The figures on this page assume a Intel Core i5-13400, a mid-range processor that does not bottleneck the card. What matters with the RX 5500 XT 4GB is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
