Forza Horizon 6 racks up hundreds of thousands of concurrent players on Steam on day one of its full release, far outperforming prior Forza Horizon games.
It’s maxed out both CPU and GPU for me if I crank the settings up, but it’s not running well under Proton at the moment. Especially on AMD GPU. Microstutter hell.
He had to cap it to 60 to get a playable experience. It was already capped to 120 originally, but the stuttering was too bad. The system couldn’t do >120fps anyways.
I haven’t had a chance to test Linux. All my testing has been Windows so far, but I have installed it on a Linux system. That system is pretty heavily CPU limited, but it’s Nvidia.
My friend on Linux with AMD had a lot of stutters until he capped the game to 60fps.
What power?
Compute. Mostly GPU, the game doesn’t seem to touch my CPU much.

Do you have an X3D cpu? I have seen some evidence it is related to the CPU as Nvidia users are also experiencing the micro-stuttering on proton.
I currently have two computers. One is Ryzen 5800X and an Geforce 4070TI. The other is Corei5 12600 and Radeon 9070XT.
I haven’t had a chance to try the game on the Nvidia card yet, but ProtonDB gave me the impression it ran better on Nvidia at the moment.
My friend’s system is a 7800x3d and it was super stuttery until he capped the FPS.
Capping the FPS externally is a good idea in pretty much all games.
Yeah, but going down from 120 to 60 just to get a playable experience sucks.
It doesn’t have to be 60. I cap mine just below my monitor’s refresh rate.
If you monitor doesnt have VRR, yeah… that’s an issue. You can use Fast/Enhanced Sync or SpecialK to minimize it, but still.

Capping does nothing, neither does vsync at the moment. You can see ProtonDB which confirms this is true.
It’ll run a little better if you turn graphics down to medium/low but there’s still some microstutter even then. Gotta wait for updates.
Are you saying it draws less CPU resources while performing roughly the same?
No. It draws so much more from my GPU that my CPU is sitting relatively idle.
