F1 25, the 18th installment in the long-running series, features better car and character models, liveries, and new and improved mechanics. The game runs well on GPUs like the RTX 3080 and 3080 Ti, given its PC optimization. That said, the title is getting quite demanding this year, alongside the introduction of Path Tracing, which older Ampere cards will miss out on as their ray tracing capabilities remain limited.
The system requirements suggest having at least the RTX 2070 to run at high settings. Thus, those who own the RTX 3080 or the RTX 3080 Ti should have no issues running the game at higher resolutions of up to 1440p with Path Tracing turned off.
In this article, we look into the best graphics settings for F1 25 on the RTX 3080 and the RTX 3080 Ti GPUs.
Note: These settings are for a PC featuring at least the recommended system requirements of the game, particularly an RTX 3080 GPU.
Best F1 25 settings for RTX 3080

The game runs incredibly well on the RTX 3080. You can comfortably play the game at up to 1440p resolution, using the High graphics preset. While it can handle the higher graphics settings, turning on Ray Tracing would be risky in terms of performance. Thus, to get smoother frame rates, we've opted to turn off Ray Tracing. Nvidia DLSS has also been turned on to help improve performance and visual quality.

Best F1 25 settings for RTX 3080 Ti

The game runs even better on the RTX 3080 Ti. It's higher 12 GB VRAM provides more room for higher settings. While it excels at 1440p, it also runs 4K resolution quite smoothly. The settings provided feature the same High graphics settings used for the RTX 3080, but in this case, we’re using it with Ray Tracing as well.
With Ray Tracing turned on, you can expect far better visuals, featuring realistic light rays and shadows during sunny races. Moreover, Nvidia DLSS set to Quality mode will help us obtain slightly better performance.
