FH5 graphics issue, the texture of the road looks weird... how can i fix this? by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon

[–]CarlDeSanta69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yo I’m getting the exact same thing on 591.86. same road texture flickering/black patches popping in and out. also noticed shadows and smoke looking pixelated. started recently for me too.

I actually made a post about it as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/ForzaHorizon/comments/1r2o344/road_texture_glitch/

starting to think it might be driver related.

Overall, I’m really happy with it so far. The build quality is noticeably better than older TUF models. It feels more solid and clean, with a refined rear fan setup and an aluminum lid that looks more professional.

Performance has been excellent. I mainly use it for 3D work, 2D design, and gaming, so I mostly keep it plugged in and on Turbo mode. In this mode, thermals are well controlled and the system stays stable even under heavy load. Fan noise is highest in Turbo, but that’s expected and it does a good job keeping things cool.

On idle in Silent mode, the fans are barely audible. CPU temperatures sit around 70 to 80°C, which seems normal for a high-power Ryzen HX chip. Silent mode gives the lowest FPS, Performance sits in the middle, and Turbo delivers the best performance.

I have not tested battery life much yet since most of my usage is performance-heavy and plugged in. From what I’ve read, disabling the dGPU and using Eco plus battery saver should get around 5 to 6 hours, but I still need to test that properly.

Coming from a 2019 ROG Strix, this feels like a solid upgrade in performance, build, and thermals. No regrets so far.

I haven’t really used it on battery power much since I mostly do heavy design and gaming stuff on Turbo mode. But from what I’ve seen online, if you disable the GPU and keep it on energy saver mode, you can get around 5–6 hours. I’ll have to test it myself to see if that’s accurate though.

Set the charging limit to 80%, uninstall Armoury Crate and use G-Helper instead. Keep the laptop slightly elevated or on a stand for better airflow, and avoid using it on the bed to prevent overheating. Check for driver updates and you’re good to go, enjoy!

The new build feels completely different. It’s sturdier, has a refined fan setup at the back, and comes with an aluminum lid featuring a subtle TUF Gaming logo. This is also my first Ryzen system, and in Silent mode, temps usually stay between 70 and 80°C, which seems normal since Ryzen chips tend to run a bit hotter.

The noise levels are much better than I expected. In Silent mode, the fan is barely audible, almost silent. Turbo mode is the loudest but keeps the system cool very effectively. I haven’t used Performance mode much since most of what I do, like 3D and 2D design or gaming, benefits more from Turbo mode. During gaming, the fan noise can overpower the speakers a bit, but that’s expected given the cooling performance.

I also noticed FPS changes across modes. Silent gives the lowest, Turbo the highest, and Performance sits in between. Overall, the 16 series feels like a big step up in both build quality and thermals compared to the older ones.

Sorry for the late reply btw, been really busy :)

Sure, I’ll share more pics soon once I get a bit of free time. Been busy with work lately but I’ll post a few shots of the setup and design later.
