Ray Tracing F1 24
F1 24 brings the thrill of Formula 1 racing to life with its implementation of ray tracing, adding a new layer of realism to the on-track action. Ray-traced reflections accurately capture the gleaming surfaces of the cars and the vibrant colours of the race tracks, while ray-traced shadows add depth and detail to every scene. The introduction of ray-traced ambient occlusion further enhances the visual fidelity, providing more realistic and nuanced shading. Even the crowds in the grandstands benefit from ray tracing, with more detailed and dynamic lighting.
In F1 at 1440p, as the framerate is now lower with the settings cranked up to include raytracing, we start to see a bigger disparity with 28% more performance coming from the new Blackwell GPU over its Ada Lovelace predecessor, though more noticeably is the 94% uplift over the 7900 XTX, which raytracing to one side is geared more towards a Codemasters game, as they typically favour AMD quite well.
Increasing the resolution to 4K does see larger gains, now with 35% more frames than the 4090, and 127% more compared to the 7900 XTX and the 1% lows are looking much healthier too.
