F1 2020: PC graphics performance benchmark review - DirectX 11 or 12?

DirectX 11 versus 12?

When you startup F1 by clicking its icon, you'll default towards DirectX 12 (also D3D12) As so often, however, this game as well offers you to enable D3D11 or D3D12 mode. Handy if you're still on  Windows 7 ;) Often DirectX 12 can run worse than 11, however that is not the case with Codemasters Formula 1 2020, D3D12 runs as good and sometimes even better than DX11.  You can enable DirectX 11 by clicking play in steam; then you'll get the DX11 / DX12 option. Other than that we opted DX12 as overall it works a fraction faster than DX11 with F1 2020. And yeah, any card will play fine with a fair resolution at these settings.

 

  

Albeit throughout the game DX12 performs better, for Radeon Vega you might want to try and switch to DX11. Let's take a look at two examples, see below.

 

The feisty GeForce RTX 2080 Ti perform roughly the same., however in a CPU bound resolution at Full HD you can see that D3D12 has the upper hand, 

 

AMD's Radeon RX 5700 Xt is performing beautifully in this game. Here again, D3D12 has the upper hand, albeit .. marginally.
