Forza Horizon 4 Poor Peformance

[Catnaps45]

So recently I upgraded my mother board from Gigabytes GA-970A-DS3P to the MSI 970 Gaming. My Specs are AMD's FX-8300 OCed to 3.7 GHz, 24 GBs of DDR3 @ 1066 MHz, RX 580 OCed to Core Clock: 1500 MHZ and Memory Clock: 2100 MHz. 750 Watt EVGA Semi-Modular PSU, and EVGA CLC 280. So my issue is with my old motherboard I could play Forza Horizon 4 flawlessly and now the my new motherboard I can start up the game and click continue but after a few minutes of loading the screen goes gray and the game closes.

That's not poor performance, that's a crash. Unfortunately FH4 on PC is one of the buggiest games released in recent memory, Google Forza Horizon 4 Crashing and you'll see for yourself.

 

Whenever mine starts randomly crashing the only solution I have found that works is to delete and redownload.

 

Sorry, it's not ideal but I've tried everything on my computer, nothing else works.

well when I got this motherboard I noticed I went from PCI Express 3 to PCI Express 2, but I researched that I wouldn't loss that much performance as PCI-E 2 by 16 would be equivalent to PCI-E 3 by 8

Does reverting any overclocking do anything to the game?

ok this was for GTA V Online but when I push the clocks from 1366 to 1500 and 2000 to 2100 it made the game run quite smoothly

But I also made sure to bump up the power limit and milivolts to ensure there weren't any issues

quick update on my issue. I went into settings into apps and reset Forza Horizon 4 and reset the app which fixed the issue

The 970 chipset only supports PCIe 2.0 and even if being a gen behind was a factor, it would only cause throttling on very few high end cards at most, not outright crashes
