F1 25 system requirements for PC and laptop

To run the F1 25 system requirements, you will need an AMD Radeon RX 570 GPU, an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 100GB of HDD or SSD space.

Overall, the F1 25 PC requirements are nowhere near as intimidating as we might have expected. In fact, the game's overall benchmark isn't much higher than the F1 24 requirements.

If you want to play the game on the F1 25 minimum requirements, you will need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card at least, an Intel Core i5-6400 processor, and 8GB of RAM. Overall, this isn't at all demanding, and just about any Windows 10 or 11 mid-range rig should be able to meet the base requirements. 

However, the developer has included two other minimum requirements brackets, one for VR and another for Ray Tracing specifically, with VR requiring an NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti GPU, and Ray Tracing demanding an NVIDIA RTX 2060. Neither are needed to get the game running on the most basic graphics preset, but both will offer much better performance overall.

The F1 25 recommended specs for Windows 10 OS systems demand an NVIDIA RTX 2070 for normal gameplay and VR, or an RTX 3070 for Ray Tracing, an Intel Core i5-9600K processor, and 16GB of RAM.

Depending on whether you want to run the game with VR or Ray Tracing enabled, your performance will vary, so make sure to take our F1 25 benchmark test using our automatic checker or by manually entering your system details to see which threshold you meet.

F1 25 size - How big is F1 25?

The F1 25 download size on PC and laptop commands 100GB of HD storage space. The developer has not stated that an SSD is required, and it is likely the game will run on a HDD, but with increased in-game loading times.
