Can I run Forza Horizon 5 with a Radeon RX 570 4GB?

Core speed is not what limits the Radeon RX 570 4GB in Forza Horizon 5: it clears minimum comfortably and then meets a wall at recommended, where the game wants 8 GB of video memory against the 4 GB on this card.

The Radeon RX 570 4GB shipped in 2017, 4 years before Forza Horizon 5, and 7 of the 47 cards we track stop at the same point in Forza Horizon 5. It sits 45 of 47 on our index.

The weakest link is video memory: this rig brings 4 against the 8 that Forza Horizon 5 asks for at the recommended 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 Radeon RX 570 4GB 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

video memory: GeForce RTX 3050 8GB

The Radeon RX 570 4GB carries 4 GB of video memory and the recommended tier needs 8 GB. Video memory is a hard limit: no amount of core speed substitutes for it.

That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the recommended 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".

This part alone will not get you there. graphics card also falls short of that tier.

Questions

Will a Radeon RX 570 4GB run Forza Horizon 5?
Core speed is not what limits the Radeon RX 570 4GB in Forza Horizon 5: it clears minimum comfortably and then meets a wall at recommended, where the game wants 8 GB of video memory against the 4 GB on this card. Above that the video memory is what stops it.
Is 4 GB of video memory enough for Forza Horizon 5?
Not for every tier. Forza Horizon 5 asks for more video memory than the 4 GB on this card at the tier above minimum, and video memory is a hard limit rather than something extra core speed can cover.
