Best F1 25 graphics settings for RTX 3080 and 3080 Ti

F1 25 will be released globally on May 30, 2025 on different platforms like Windows, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series X/S. However, the game will be available through early access today, on May 27. This is the 18th installment in the F1 series, featuring better car and character models, liveries, and new and improved mechanics.

The introduction of Path Tracing may make you wonder if the game is demanding. Well, it is, but only if you wish to turn on these graphically taxing settings. 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.

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.
