Best F1 25 settings for the Intel Arc A380 (2026)

On a Intel Arc A380 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), F1 25 runs at roughly 64 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 36FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc A380 is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and F1 25 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 64 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 36 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 64 FPS at 1080p and 50 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 29 FPS at 4K. F1 25 supports ray tracing and the Intel Arc A380 can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 F1 25: EA/Codemasters F1 - well-optimised with DLSS/FSR; turn off ray tracing first for the steady high FPS racing needs.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
F1 25 supports DLSS and FSR (including frame generation). The biggest free FPS boost — enable it first, especially with ray tracing on.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections, shadows and ambient occlusion. Pretty on wet tracks but heavy — turn it off first for the steady high frame rates racing needs.
Crowd & Track-Side DetailLow+6% FPS
Trackside crowd and object density — partly a CPU cost. Medium is a safe trim.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow resolution and detail. High looks nearly identical to Ultra at racing speeds.
Particle / Spray EffectsMedium+4% FPS
Tyre smoke and rain spray — can dip FPS in a wet pack start. Medium smooths the worst moments.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
Screen Space ReflectionsLowbaseline
On-screen reflections on the car and wet tarmac (used when ray tracing is off). Low is plenty at racing speed.
Ground CoverMediumbaseline
Detail of grass and gravel past the track edge. Low is a cheap, near-invisible saving mid-race.
Ambient OcclusionCACAObaseline
Soft contact shadows (AMD CACAO or ASSAO). Cheap; leave it on for depth.
Mirror QualityMediumbaseline
How sharply the mirrors render (a second view of the scene). Lower it before most other settings.
