Benchmarking your system with Forza Horizon 4 for free [HOW TO]
// Benchmarking your system with Forza Horizon 4 for free [How To] //
Forza Horizon 4 has a built-in benchmark. That alone is already surprising. What's even more surprising is the fact that the demo version of it also has the benchmark included.
Simply go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/for... and click the "Get" button. It will open the Microsoft Store on your PC and download the 28 GB of files and install it to a destination of your choice.
After launching, go to Options and then select Video. You should select the 'Ultra' preset and run it in either 1080p or 1440p - both are common presets. If you want to push, go for 4k.
The benchmark will now run a fixed race that last about 1 minute and 20 seconds. After that you will see an overview that includes your system, the preset you have used and of course the results. FPS Average, FPS Minimum and FPS Maximum are shown for CPU Simulation, CPU Render and GPU.
If your GPU limits you, the GPU Limited Percentage will be high. If the CPU is the limiting factor, the GPU Limited Percentage will be low. It can also be seen in the graphs above which show the GPU performance with yellow dots and the CPU performance with blue dots. If the blue dots and yellow dots align somewhat, your system is balanced.
If the blue dots are below the yellow dots, like in my case, the GPU is not stressed - at least in this specific game.
You can compare your results online, especially with the Ultra preset in 1080 and 1440p. Simply Google it and post a screenshot of your results.
