Forza Horizon 6 benchmark on GTX 1080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Forza Horizon 6 FPS with a GTX 1080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 38FPS min 34Acceptable | 29FPS min 26Poor | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |
| High | 50FPS min 44Acceptable | 38FPS min 34Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor |
| Medium | 65FPS min 57Good | 49FPS min 43Acceptable | 23FPS min 21Poor |
| Low | 84FPS min 74Good | 64FPS min 57Good | 30FPS min 27Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 39% | GPU 54% | GPU 78% |
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 GTX 1080. There is 6% 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 6 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 GTX 1080 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 38 | 48 | 55 |
| 1440p | 29 | 39 | 48 |
| 4K | 14 | 20 | 26 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1080 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 GTX 1080 is what caps the frame rate in Forza Horizon 6. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 1080 Enough for Forza Horizon 6?
The GTX 1080 delivers 38 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Forza Horizon 6. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 29 FPS and at 4K 14 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
