[Update – August 2nd 2025] Sapphire has sent their Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9060 XT Pulse graphics cards for games testing. This has allowed us to add AMD’s RDNA 4 GPUs to our recent games performance analysis articles. Data for these GPUs is now included below.
At Ultra High, F1 25 is a demanding game, but high-end GPUs can tame it. Ray tracing is a demanding effect, and F1 25 has a lot of ray tracing options enabled in its Ultra High preset. As such, we do not recommend this preset when playing this game on a mid-range or low-end GPU.
Moving F1 25 down to high settings sees framerates soar on PC. Every GPU we tested could achieve average framerates of over 60 FPS. That said, Nvidia’s 6GB RTX 2060 struggles to maintain that framerate. Lower settings help here, as part of this GPU’s performance issues is due to its 6GB frame buffer. More VRAM-friendly settings make 60+ FPS framerates a lot more feasible.
