F1 2020: PC graphics performance benchmark review -
Image Quality and System requirements
Image quality settings and benchmark system
For this game, we use a run with best image quality settings, the highest possible quality mode (Ultra). Games typically should be able to run in the 60 FPS range combined with your monitor resolution. From there onwards you can enable/disable things if you need more performance or demand even better game rendering quality. There's a lot of features you can configure, we recommend you to stick to High or Ultra High and leave it at that.
This years benchmark scene we use, above you can see the RTX 2080 Ti at work in 4K
And apologies, the game detects your country preference and applies the associated language, yep Dutch! We opt Ultra High settings, TAA, Af16and HBAO+
