Forza Motorsport vs Gran Turismo 7 Graphics, Physics, and FPS Comparison

We put Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo 7 through their paces as we dive deep into the graphics, and physical effects a player will feel on a direct drive wheel, and do some FPS testing on each. Both games were tested across several different tracks with various lighting and weather conditions. We also talked to real-world driver Super GT about his opinion on how the game feels to drive on a Fanatec steering wheel out of the gate while also asking for some tips to improve. Forza Motorsport vs Gran Turismo 7 framerate is also tested, but I think the results may be surprising to some.

Thanks for watching. I hope you like this deeper dive on the two games. -Destin

Thank you for having me on show guys 🤙

Suzuka at night is downright scary on GT7, feels like you illegally broke into the track at 3am in the middle of zombie apocalypse or something.

Massive props for listening to viewer feedback and continuously improving. IGN gets its fair share of criticism, but this is to be celebrated.

These comparisons are great but don't let it distract you from the fact that the Wii U had a flawless wireless video stream to its Gampepad.

Keep in mind for the vibration for the wheel, most performance/race cars have stiffer suspension so you would feel it more than a normal everyday car.

So great to see SuperGT, he always puts out great content. Would have loved it if you asked for his opinion on the handling and physics model of the two games although they do aim for slightly different audiences.

Imagine a Burnout remake with these graphics

[TobyRawal]

Both platforms now have fantastic 'next-gen' looking motorsport games. There's some subjective creative differences between the two, but overall it's a win-win for whichever platform you play on :)

Ray-tracing on GT7 is only active during replays. There’s no RT during gameplay, even on RT mode.

The Suzuka night time one is known because GT7 strangely only supports a fixed time of day transition based on existing endurance race events or circuit operating hours, and Suzuka is supposed to end just at sundown like a majority of their circuits, meaning there's still enough light in the sky compared to the track's lights for drivers to see.

If coupled with heavy clouds, especially with rain conditions like in this comparison, it really does get so dark that it looks like night time when it isn't, and the circuit lights aren't strong enough to support it.

This strange distinction is funny cause even Spa and Nurburgring technically don't support night time lighting unless you select their 24h variants and their circuit lighting is adjusted to present itself better for night driving.

Forza = cinematic
GT7 = realism

Both are Great!

[sengbush]

The saturation of color on GT7 is really pretty to me. it "pops" a lot more.

[DedragoW]

GT7 in PSVR2. Instantly got in love with that way to play GT7.

[z-L_Gaming]

The issue with me with GT, is that the car is just full stationed at the centre of the screen. You cannot feel any sense of speed at all but you can in Forza. The handling model works better for me too.

[Cavscout]

4:05 does IGN know that GT7 runs at 60fps during driving regardless of the mode set?

[elliottbeetz]

Thanks for this video! Fun to see the comparison. Also love SuperGT and was shocked to see him in this video :D

[juraj_b]

Great to see Mr “shadow realm” SuperGT! And great vid Dustin! Enjoying FM now but I’ve put lots of hours into GT7 too.

Rivals are great for improving as new ghost loads automatically- great feature to gain time

[VectorAero]

IGN intentionally curbrashes his car IRL just to illustrate a point. Respect.

Destin is one of the only remaining IGN OGs and surprisingly has not gotten lazy or complacent. Still doing some of IGN's best work. Really one of last few or the only person who seems like they actually DO any work at that company.
