I see you're trying to troll now.Forum is also full of people playing just fine
W/e man.
I5 3450. And witcher ran reasonably fine for me too.
Forza is running OK for most people. Aren't you playing it
Running it on a i5 6600 and a GTX 970 with 16 gigs of ram...performance has been very inconsistent. Sometimes I'm fine, other times it's chugging along. The PC release seems to have a lot of issues across a wide range of equipment unfortunately : ((( Doesn't mean people can't run it perfectly fine, but there's no reason people should have more than recommended specs and have performance issues on medium.
I could just cap it at 30fps and play on high/ultra settings but then it'll still drop below 30fps in some areas and then there's the huge input lag which is a deal breaker. It feels like I'm remote playing the game.
Your CPU is below recommended specs. And I understand there are problems, I just think it's a bit far to call it "crappy" at this point. It's a very intensive game.
So people with the recommended specs are too, having issues but this is just a very intensive game that runs fine at 30fps/1080P on the XB1 but PCs significantly more powerful are having trouble because the "game is very intensive" ??
Can't even maintain a locked 30fps at 1440p with a 3820 @ 4Ghz and an overclocked 1080.
Lord help those of you trying to run 4K.
Admittedly, my CPU is getting a bit long in the tooth; but it shouldn't be struggling this much. Damn
I have a 165hz monitor, and so I can lock it at 41fps which is actually pretty decent, especially with G-Sync. But man, at Surfer's Paradise, I drop into the 20s.
So 30fps with a overclocked 1080 and the "recommended" CPU is still not enough?
and did you forget? The I5 3820 is a Sandy Bridge CPU, Zebruh's CPU is a newer generation CPU(Skylake). His CPU is FINE.
Stop
for shoddy PC ports

You went and cherry picked the worst anecdote you could find.

A lot of people with that same set up are reporting pretty decent performance.
And the "recommended" specs are for 1080p.
If you barely have the recommended specs and are trying to run at 1440p then you will have to turn the settings down.
The game isn't GPU bound.
You can lower the graphics settings and res and the fps will still be the same. I've ran the game at 1440P/30fps, 1080P/30fps/low and it's the same song. It's CPU bound.
Forza Horizon 3 – PC Performance Analysis | DSOGaming | The Dark Side Of GamingOur GTX980Ti was used at 50-60%, suggesting that our CPU was bottlenecking the GPU. It’s pretty clear that Forza Horizon 3’s multi-threading capabilities are awful, something that definitely surprised us. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, we were unable to run Forza Horizon 3 with constant 60fps at 1080p, even on Medium settings and without MSAA (while driving through Surfer’s Paradise).
For what is worth, we were able to play the game with constant 30fps at 4K on Ultra settings. The only downside here is that the game introduces additional input lag when locked at 30fps, so we can’t really recommend this option until Playground Games fixes it.
So if the game is CPU bound, and we got people in here with weaker cards than what's recommended, it stands to reason that they'd have performance problems. No?
