DLSS 4.5 Boosts Forza Horizon 6 Performance
Forza Horizon 6, which enters Early Access on Friday, May 15, and sees its general release on May 19, will support both DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and DLSS Multi Frame Generation out of the box. GeForce RTX 50 Series players can further upgrade to DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation 6X Mode via the NVIDIA app.
This integration delivers a massive performance boost, especially at 4K with max settings and ray tracing enabled. GeForce RTX 50 Series desktop GPU owners can expect an average performance multiplier of 5.2X, allowing the GeForce RTX 5090 to run the game at over 330 FPS, the GeForce RTX 5080 at over 230 FPS, and the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti at over 200 FPS.
