Image quality settings and benchmark system

For this game, we utilize the highest possible quality option and the best visual quality settings (Ultra). Games should be able to run at 60 frames per second when paired with a matching monitor's resolution. You may then enable/disable features if you want greater performance or a higher level of game rendering quality. Other options may be configured; we recommend that you keep to the highest quality settings and leave it at that if you want best quality. The graphics in F1 2022 are somewhat more advanced than in prior editions. There are several options. The game contains FPS limiters ranging from 30 to 250 FPS. A dynamic resolution is the adjustable target frame ratio of FPS 30, 40, 60, 120, or 144. There are also five graphic presets with ultra-low, low, medium, high, and ultra-high settings, a customizable integrated benchmark, and, more recently, explanations of the specific options. Nvidia HBAO+ is applied for all graphics . The basic rasterizer/shading/Raytracing configuration, with Ultra High settings, TAA, AF 16, and HBAO+. Of course, we'll look into Raytracing performance and DLSS / FSR in the article. The video below provides an overview of our settings and the customization options accessible.

The graphics cards tested

In this article, we'll use the following cards at a properly good PC experience graphics quality wise, the quality mode as shown above with Vsync disabled. The graphics cards used in this test are:

GeForce RTX 2060
GeForce RTX 3090 Ti
GeForce RTX 2070 Super
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
GeForce RTX 3070
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
GeForce RTX 3080
GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
GeForce RTX 3090
Radeon RX 6600 XT
Radeon RX 6650 XT
Radeon RX 6700 XT
Radeon RX 6800
Radeon RX 6800 XT
Radeon RX 6900 XT
Radeon RX 6950 XT

Note; we have a limited number of cards tested, DRM kicked in after every two cards we swapped out on the system, locking us out of the game for 24 hours.

Test environment (system specification)

Our graphics card test system is based on a sixteen-core AMD Ryzen 9 5950X processor on the X570 chipset platform. We use Windows 11 all patched up. Each graphics card runs on the same PC with the same operating system clone.

System Spec

Ryzen 9 5950X
X570 (ASUS Crosshair VIII HERO)
16GB DDR4 3600 MHz CL14
NVMe, M.2. SSD

Graphics drivers

GeForce graphics cards use the 516.94 (download).
Radeon graphics cards we used a beta AMD Radeon Adrenalin 22.8.1 driver (download).
Resize BAR (rBAR) is activated on all GPUs that support it

Our test PC was outfitted with this heavy setup to prevent and remove CPU bottlenecks that could influence high-end graphics card GPU scores. Let's head onwards to the next page, where we'll look at screenshots and then start measuring several monitor resolutions in relative performance versus quality settings.
