How to set up HDR in Forza Horizon 6

  • ⚠ This game’s HDR is widely considered flawed — compare it against SDR (or PC AutoHDR/RTX HDR) and keep whichever looks better.
  • Open the game’s own HDR calibration (Settings → Display/Video) — it overrides the system calibration, so set it per the on-screen patterns.
  • Set HDR Peak Brightness to your panel’s measured nits in the 100-nit steps.
  • Keep Paper White at ~330 nits or higher — setting it lower actually caps the peak luminance the game outputs.
