Just try and match or better the current spec.

*Assumptions made.

Forza Apex is pretty broken so not convinced we will get an optimal FH3 day one.
So go ahead and use up all 4 slots?
That won't give me any issues?

Quantum Break is headed to Steam so it's possible.

So I have 2 x 4GB RAM, will I need to buy another stick?
Is that even ideal or would I need 2 x 8GB sticks?

Go for 4K@47fps, apparently it's superior says Candy.

I got to tweaking and can get a varying frame rate from 35-60fps in apex beta. I'm going to get another 4GB ram anyway so I'll see how that affects things. Without the silky frame rate it just doesn't seem prettier than what I remember of forza 4 on 360 but I'm sure with a direct comparison I would see the extra detail in a still shot.
Is this an insight to what gaming on a gtx960 will be like once dx12 is standard?

What version is everyone getting? Not sure if I can stomach paying $140 for the Ultimate one, but it is only $40 more than the standard

Trolling ineffective. A single purchase of the digital download version allows you to play on PC and Xbox. I definitely won't bother with the Ultimate edition because the shelf life of Horizon is generally less than main Forza, so I won't get much out of the car packs. Undecided on the VIP upgrade given that in-game money tends to be given away pretty freely in modern Forzas after the stingy Forza 5.

standard edition from the Singapore xbox store, I don't get why anyone would want to pay a bunch of money for a handful of cars when the base game already has 2453 cars available to drive.

Demo will be out on PC too, so it will be good to compare xbone and PC builds. I need to get my preorder sorted. Looking to do the amazon digital gift cards and buy off the US store.

What's the US price? I generally can't be bothered stuffing around if the price difference is not worth the hassle.

The game is gorgeous, the best graphics I've seen in a racer, they really upped the weather effects and GI lighting, the skybox looks to be using accurate cloud/light physics(rainbows!), sensation of speed is really good, they nailed the lighting and environment. If really feels like driving around here, the water refraction effects are really good, your car creates waves, full physics simulation.

Nothing like racing on the beach in your Monaro UTE! The only thing I can fault with the game is some of the accents are off and route is pronounced "root".

You get both mate, Good guy MS has you covered, cross game sync means I can continue my game on the big screen or PC. I have to say, the 30fps here is smooth, very good use of motion blur and absolutely rock solid 30fps, not one frame drop, the guys at DF seem to agree.
