Forza Motorsport - HDR Optimized Settings (Patreon)
Content
The game DOES USE/APPLY Xbox HDR Calibration app settings.
The game has one of the best HDR implementations ever as it actually leverages the system level HDR Calibration app, has perfect black levels and contrast by default but still offers in-game Peak HDR Luminance control in nits values (up to 10.000 nits) if needed.
If you've already calibrated the system level HDR Calibration app on Xbox and/or PC for your TV, there's nothing else you should do as the picture will already by perfect by default.
Just run the game and enjoy :)
If for some reason you're not seeing the system-level HDR values automatically applied to the game, you can manually enter them as the following:
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
- Set HDR Brightness slider to: 4.000 (nits);
> you're using HGIG:
- Set HDR Brightness slider to: 800 (nits) or 1.000 (for G2) or 1.500 (for G3).
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
- Set HDR Brightness slider to: 1.000 (nits);
> you're using HGIG:
- Set HDR Brightness slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits".
In all cases, leave the regular Brightness slider to default 50 as it already provides a balanced exposure/gamma.
BONUS:
- Use Performance RT Mode on XSX: As it's the best balance between beautiful visuals and performance. Remember to fully restart the game (or the console) after you change a graphics mode otherwise you would have a bugged/raised gamma.
