Can I run Forza Horizon 5 with a Arc B580?

Forza Horizon 5 was built to start on a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. The Arc B580 is roughly 11 times that card, and still lands 19% under ultra - this game asks far more at the top than it does at the door.

The Arc B580 arrived 3 years after Forza Horizon 5 shipped, so the game was never designed with it in mind: 12 of the 47 cards we track stop at the same point in Forza Horizon 5. It sits 25 of 47 on our index.

The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 21 against the 26 that Forza Horizon 5 asks for at the ultra tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.

That readout is the best this card can do in Forza Horizon 5: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.

The same card with three different processors

In Forza Horizon 5 the processor beside a Arc B580 changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.

Cheapest way up one tier

graphics card: Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB

The Arc B580 sits at index 21 and the ultra tier starts at 26.

That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the ultra tier - not the fastest one, and not a price claim: we hold no price data, so "cheapest" here means "least upgrade that does the job".
