If you want smooth gameplay and sharper visuals in Forza Horizon 6, the PC version lets you use NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, or Intel XeSS right from the in-game menus. These upscaling and frame-generation technologies can boost performance without sacrificing image quality, making your drives through Japan feel buttery smooth.
Step-by-Step: Turning On DLSS, FSR, or XeSS
- Launch Forza Horizon 6 and open the Settings menu.
- Go to the Graphics tab.
- Scroll down to Resolution Scaling or Upscaling.
- Choose the technology that matches your hardware:
- NVIDIA DLSS – Best for RTX cards. Pick between Quality, Balanced, or Performance modes. If you have an RTX 50-series, you can also enable DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation for extra smoothness.
- AMD FSR – Works on AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. Choose FSR 4 (or FSR 3 if your GPU is older) and set it to Quality for a great mix of visuals and performance.
- Intel XeSS – Works on Intel Arc and other modern GPUs. Select XeSS 2.1 for high-quality upscaling with solid stability.
- Use the Upscaling Sharpness slider to fine-tune image clarity to your liking.
