F1 2018: PC graphics performance benchmark review - Graphics card performance 1080p

Graphics card performance

 
In the video above you can see the benchmark sequence. A couple of things, no round ends up with the same FPS. So please keep a few percent margin in mind at all times. It has a lot to do with the random elements in the benchmark lap. We apply Ultra High quality, any card can take that at 1080p. We enable HBAO+ as well as TAA is enabled, we also apply x16 AF. The video above shows the settings as well as one lap in the benchmark run.

The type of game you play is always relevant though, a first-person shooter game is nice at 50 to 60 fps, an on-line shooter on a 144Hz monitor feels better at 100+ fps. And totally on the opposing side, for RPG gaming things are different for which we are comfortable with an FPS ranging as low as 30~35 FPS. For race-games I feel a minimum of 40 FPS average would be a good point to start. At all times if your framerate is low, you can opt to change in-game image quality settings. Mind you that we test with reference cards or cards that have been clocked at reference frequencies. Factory tweaked graphics cards obviously can run up-to 20% faster. But for the generic overview, we treat all cards the same.
