Ray Traced Global Illumination in Forza Motorsport
With the upcoming release of Update 15 on December 9, a new graphics option for our PC players will be added to Forza Motorsport's ray tracing settings to enable Ray Traced Global Illumination in game (RTGI for short).
Q: What is Ray-Traced Global Illumination (RTGI)?
A: RTGI uses ray tracing hardware to compute more accurate indirect lighting and occlusion across the track and car in real time. This results in enhanced visual fidelity and realism in the game.
Q: Which versions of Forza Motorsport can RTGI be enabled on?
A: RTGI can be enabled on all Forza Motorsport PC versions (Microsoft Store, Steam, PC Game Pass) with Update 15 or later installed. This feature is only available on PC.
Q: How do I enable RTGI in Forza Motorsport?
A: RTGI is a new setting that must be enabled and is not on by default. RTGI can be enabled in the Forza Motorsport Graphics menu using the following toggles:
- Set Raytracing Quality to "Full Reflections + RTGI"
- Set RTGI Quality to "High"
Q: What PC graphics cards are recommended for RTGI in Forza Motorsport?
A: RTGI is a cutting-edge rendering feature recommended for high-end PCs with Ray Tracing-capable GPUs. The minimum GPU specification to enable RTGI is the NVIDIA RTX 20 Series and AMD RX 6000 Series. However, we recommend at least an NVIDIA RTX 3080 or above to run RTGI High settings, and an NVIDIA RTX 4090 for the best experience.
Q: Where is RTGI used in the game?
A: When enabled, RTGI will apply to all gameplay and cinematics, as well as your Homespace and Photo Mode.
