Get Ready for Update 15
This December marks the first anniversary of Forza Motorsport, and Xbox Studios has something special in store for fans. Update 15 will roll out on December 9, bringing a significant visual upgrade to this beloved racing sim. One of the highlights is the addition of Ray-Traced Global Illumination (RTGI), elevating the realism of the game to new heights.
Experience Realistic Lighting Effects
The integration of RTGI will dramatically enhance the way light interacts with the game’s shiny cars and expansive tracks. This upgrade is set to apply not only during gameplay but also in cutscenes and the built-in photo mode. For those enthusiastic about graphics, this enhancement will allow players to experience a richer and more immersive racing environment.
Minimum Requirements for Stunning Graphics
To utilize RTGI, players must ensure their game is up-to-date and meet certain hardware specifications. While the minimum required GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, those who wish to take full advantage of RTGI will need a GeForce RTX 20-series or AMD RX 6000-series graphics card. For optimal performance, the developers at Turn 10 recommend using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 or better. Additionally, coupling RTGI with NVIDIA’s DLSS Super Resolution or DLAA can help maintain high frame rates while enjoying these stunning visuals.
