F1 24 is the upcoming entry in EA Sports' iconic F1 game series. It will bring a host of exciting changes, including a reworked Career mode, a loyalty program, a newly designed handling model, and more. The game will also feature virtual reality and ray tracing, but they can only be enabled if you are using a powerful GPU.

If you are looking forward to playing F1 24, here is a list of the best GPUs that will enhance your experience.

Note: This list is subjective and solely reflects the writer's opinions.


F1 24 system requirements

F1 24 will be a graphically intensive game. It will require quite a bit of system resources, especially if you enable higher graphical settings. Here's the full list of the system requirements for the game. The VR and RT requirements are also included.

Storage100 GB free space 100 GB free space

As you can see, the minimum system requirements are fairly low, and if you have bought a GPU in the last seven years, you will be able to play this game. However, if you want to play this game in VR or ray tracing, the system requirements are quite high, and you'll need a beefier CPU and GPU.

Also, the minimum requirement presumably provides around 30 FPS in the game. To play at 60 FPS or a higher resolution, you'll need a better GPU anyway. The GPUs on the given list vary in terms of performance and will accommodate different resolution targets and game modes.


List of best GPUs to play F1 24

1) AMD RX 7900 GRE

Price: $524.99

The AMD RX 7900 GRE has been released globally. It is one of the best value-for-money GPUs under $550. The Nvidia RTX 4070 used to dominate the $600 market, but the AMD RX 7900 GRE is more powerful than both the RTX 4070 and the RTX 4070 Super. If you want the best performance at the best resolution, this is the GPU you need to buy.

SpecificationsDetails
Shader cores5120
RT cores80
TMUs320
ROPs160
Base clock1287 MHz
Boost clock2245 MHz
VRAM size16 GB
VRAM bus width256-bit
VRAM bandwidth 576 GB/s
Manufacturing nodes5nm, 6m
Thermal design power (TDP) 260W

It also has 16 GB VRAM capacity, the highest on this list. The AMD RX 7900 GRE can easily run F1 24 at 1440p and supports both VR and ray tracing. However, do note that its ray tracing performance is not the strongest.

Pros

  • It will allow you to turn on ray-tracing effects in the game but requires FSR to deliver the best performance.
  • It has 16GB VRAM, which will be better in the long run.
  • Excellent price tag.

Cons

  • Its power consumption is a bit higher considering the competition.

2) RTX 4070

However, you may need to enable DLSS to get the best performance when playing with all ray-tracing effects turned on. You can also play other games at 1440p with higher graphical settings. It has 12GB of VRAM, so it should perform very well in the long run.

Pros

  • It provides good performance even with ray tracing turned on.
  • Expect a smooth experience when playing in VR.
  • You can play F1 24 at 4K resolution.

Cons

  • It is quite expensive.

3) RTX 4060 Ti

Price: $374.99

The RTX 4060 Ti is a great GPU for its price tag. It has decent performance in both rasterization and ray tracing. It can run the F1 24 in 1440p resolution with higher graphical settings while delivering a solid framerate. Even if you play the game with ray tracing turned on, you will still get over 60 FPS, but DLSS must be enabled.
