As you can see there are quite a few things to consider when it comes to setting the Xbox Graphics settings in FH5.
Let’s now have a quick look into what some of these represents.
Anisotropic filtering
Anisotropic filtering is basically a setting that increases the quality of textures at an oblique viewing angle.
In other words, it makes surfaces look less “flat.”
The main benefit of anisotropic filtering is that it can improve image quality in games without necessarily increasing the number of pixels being rendered on-screen.
That’s why we’ve chosen to set it at a high leve.
Shadow quality
The shadow quality setting in FH5 Xbox graphics mainly affects the sharpness, and therefore the realism, of shadows.
It’s worth noting that this setting will also impact performance, so if you’re struggling to maintain a consistent framerate, you may want to lower the shadow quality.
Night shadows
The night shadows setting will only be visible when racing at night, and as the name suggests, it changes the appearance of shadows cast during nighttime.
Anyways, we recommend setting this to off because it can have a negative impact on performance without providing any real benefit to the game-play.
Motion blur quality
The motion blur quality setting is responsible for blurring fast-moving objects.
This is generally used to create a more cinematic look, but it can also be used to reduce the visibility of tearing.
We recommend setting this to high because it doesn’t have a significant impact on performance and it can make the game look more polished.
Environment texture quality
The environment texture quality setting in Forza Horizon 5 Xbox graphics affects the resolution of textures in the game world.
Generally speaking, the higher the setting, the sharper and more detailed textures will look.
Conclusion
Alright so here were our best Xbox graphics settings for Forza Horizon 5.
Keep in mind that these are specifically tailored for those racing on an Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S console and may vary for PC and PlayStation.
As always, experiment with the settings to find out what looks and feels best for you.
