Forza Horizon 5 is out of early access and has been released on all the supported platforms. FH5 is an amazing game, but not free from errors and bugs.

Here are some things you can do to fix the problem.
Forza Horizon 5 Stuttering and FPS Drop on PC Fix
Here are some solutions you can try to fix the low FPS in Forza Horizon 5. While the fix will help improve the FPS, the main issue seems to be with the game’s optimization on certain config. A permanent solution can only come from the devs.
- Don’t use overlays
- GeForce, Discord, or other overlays can cause all sorts of problems with games especially stuttering.
- Enable the Game Mode from Windows Settings.
- Press Windows Key + I, go to Gaming > Game Mode
- Run the game in Fullscreen mode.
- Unless you have a very powerful PC, don’t use the Capture section of the Gaming section on your PC to record games. If you don’t need it, don’t record games at all. It has a significant impact on performance and FPS.
- From the Gaming section, also disable the Xbox Game Bar.
- Enable Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling
- Windows Key + I > System > Display > Graphics > click on Change default graphic settings > turn on Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling
- Reduce the graphics settings of the game.
- If you have been playing the game for a long time, give the game and the PC rest. Also, ensure that the PC is not overheating.
That’s all we have in this guide. We will update the post when we know of something new that can help improve the FPS or any specific software or system config that could be leading to the Forza Horizon Stuttering and FPS Drop.
