F1 25 Performance

F1 25 is a GPU and ray-tracing heavy title where NVIDIA's RTX 50 series pulls a clear lead with RT enabled, and DLSS 4 plus Multi Frame Generation unlock very high refresh rates. The EGO engine is well threaded, but a fast modern CPU (Ryzen X3D or Core Ultra) keeps minimums high for competitive online racing, VR and triple-screen setups.

Hardware breakdown, build recommendations, and tuning advice for F1 25.

F1 25 is the latest instalment in EA Sports and Codemasters' official Formula 1 series, putting you behind the wheel of all 20 drivers across every current circuit on the calendar. Refined handling, a fresh My Team management mode, the returning Braking Point story and stunning, fully ray-traced rendering of real-world tracks make it the most authentic F1 experience yet. Whether you race casually on a pad or chase tenths on a direct-drive wheel in VR, it rewards a PC that can hold a rock-steady high frame rate.

FAQ

Common questions

What graphics card do I need for F1 25 at 1440p?

For a smooth 1440p experience with Ultra High settings and ray tracing, we recommend an NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti or an AMD RX 9070 XT. Both are excellent at this resolution, though if you want every ray-tracing effect turned on, the RTX 5070 Ti has a meaningful lead in F1 25 thanks to NVIDIA's stronger RT performance and DLSS 4. We will happily talk you through the trade-off when you spec your build.

Is F1 25 more CPU or GPU intensive?

It leans GPU intensive, especially with ray tracing enabled, so your graphics card is where the money matters most. That said, a fast modern CPU keeps minimum frame rates high during busy race starts and online lobbies. We pair our F1 25 builds with an AMD Ryzen 9000 or X3D chip, or an Intel Core Ultra, so the CPU never holds your GPU back.

How much RAM do I need for F1 25?

The game officially recommends 16GB, and that is fine for racing alone. We fit 32GB of fast DDR5 as standard on our F1 25 rigs, which gives you comfortable headroom for streaming, voice chat and background apps, and is sensible if you ever experiment with path tracing, which is more memory hungry.

Can you build a PC for F1 25 in VR or on triple screens?

Absolutely, and this is where the right PC really pays off. Driving in VR or across three monitors roughly triples the pixels your GPU has to push, so we step up to an RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 to hold a steady, low-latency frame rate that keeps the cockpit feeling natural. Every CREATE PC is hand-built to order here in Stevenage and backed by our 5-year warranty, so you can tell us your wheel, headset and screen setup and we will tune the whole machine around it.
