Best F1 25 settings for the NVIDIA GeForce MX130 (laptop) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GeForce MX130 (laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), F1 25 runs at roughly 14 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 6FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GeForce MX130 (laptop) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and F1 25 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 14 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 6 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 14 FPS at 1080p and 9 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 5 FPS at 4K. F1 25 offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GeForce MX130 (laptop) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR 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 FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+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.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and detail. High looks nearly identical to Ultra at racing speeds.
Particle / Spray EffectsLow+8% FPS
Tyre smoke and rain spray — can dip FPS in a wet pack start. Medium smooths the worst moments.
Crowd & Track-Side DetailLow+6% FPS
Trackside crowd and object density — partly a CPU cost. Medium is a safe trim.
Screen Space ReflectionsOff+6% FPS
On-screen reflections on the car and wet tarmac (used when ray tracing is off). Low is plenty at racing speed.
Ground CoverLow+5% FPS
Detail of grass and gravel past the track edge. Low is a cheap, near-invisible saving mid-race.
Mirror QualityLow+5% FPS
How sharply the mirrors render (a second view of the scene). Lower it before most other settings.
Ambient OcclusionOff+4% FPS
Soft contact shadows (AMD CACAO or ASSAO). Cheap; leave it on for depth.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
