Wow, 4790k and 980ti hitting between 40fps and 50fps with dips to low 30's during races :eek:

So much for APex type optimisation, thats only at 1080p as well :eek:

Does he have the game ready driver?

not sure guys. Maybe the Twitch stream is taking up a lot of resources. Lets hope so hey.

Poor performance doesn't suprise me, UWP is rubbish. Apex runs fine most of the time but will hitch and stutter inexplicably and it's never utilized more than half my 1060 gpu whilst constantly hammering two cores of a quadcore i5.

It bears repeating, but this is quite a bit more demanding than Forza Apex guys. Only runs at 30fps on XB1.

That said, something is wrong with that guy's performance. I'm seeing people with much lesser PC's getting better results than that. One guy with a GTX1080 says at 4k, he's running around 45-50fps maxed out. Which sounds about right.

I hovered for what seemed like an eternity over the Standered edition then clicked ultimate.......... Beans on toast for the next two weeks!!!

TonyTurbo78 · 22 Sep 2016 at 18:15

I'd expect a 980ti to be pulling around 100fps for this at 1080p. Weird how his performance is so so low. How much does a twitch stream generally impact gaming?

All Horizons always run at 30fps on x360 and XB1,all 3,while Forza always 60fps.

Forza Motorsport is always 60fps.

And yes, that was what I was saying. People who expect this to run just like Forza Apex are going to be disappointed because it's quite a bit more demanding.

Guys is it worth spending the extra for other editions of the game? Can I unlock the cars?

flinco · 22 Sep 2016 at 18:40

Depends if you want to play it in 5.5 hours or not...

Kalexuz · 22 Sep 2016 at 18:41

Anyone used a VPN to unlock early or just changed their windows store location, does it work?

I believe whatever store you bought it from sets the unlock time in stone.

Westie · 22 Sep 2016 at 18:49

Seen a 1080 hold 60 fps at 4k.. so a 1080 will be fine for 3440x1440p plus gsync be smooth as a babys bum..

flinco · 22 Sep 2016 at 18:55

I hope my 970, constrained by a 7 year old CPU and 8gb of RAM will maintain 60fps at 1440p on medium at least.

That's the question on my mind too.

Does look a fun game to play though, could do with a more casual racer as Dirt Rally demands a lot of concentration and after having twins born I'm not getting as much time as I used to. By the time I get around to gaming in the evening Dirt's too taxing on my brain now.

Just not sure if it's worth spending big bucks on this as BF1 is round the corner which will take up a lot of my time too.

Standard or Ultimate?

Reddit is kicking off about poor performance uh oh. I'm slightly worried I really am, not good performance on beastly cards.
