Best F1 25 settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), F1 25 runs at roughly 74 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 55FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and F1 25 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 74 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 55 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 74 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 44 FPS at 4K. F1 25 offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) 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 (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% 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.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and detail. High looks nearly identical to Ultra at racing speeds.
Particle / Spray EffectsHighbaseline
Tyre smoke and rain spray — can dip FPS in a wet pack start. Medium smooths the worst moments.
Crowd & Track-Side DetailMediumbaseline
Trackside crowd and object density — partly a CPU cost. Medium is a safe trim.
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.
