#F1 2017 engine specs drivers

As such, those with dual-core CPUs that lack support for Hyper Threading will encounter performance issues. Not only that, but we noticed some audio cuts and some stutters when we disabled Hyper Threading. When we disabled Hyper Threading, our performance decrease to 44fps and 59fps. Our simulated dual-core system was able to run the benchmark with a minimum of 60fps and an average of 73fps. And we are happy to report that F1 2017 can be perfectly enjoyed even with a modern-day dual-core system (provided it supports Hyper Threading). In order to find out how the game performs on a variety of CPUs, we simulated a dual-core and a quad-core CPU.

Codemasters allows gamers to test all stages and we chose the Singapore stage – as that is the most demanding one – with heavy rain. There is also an option to enable SSRT shadows, though – and since this option is not enabled with the game’s Ultra High preset – we suggest avoiding it if you don’t own a high-end GPU.įor both our CPU and GPU tests we used the in-game benchmark tool. PC gamers will be able to adjust the quality of lighting, post process, shadows, smoke shadows, particles, crowd, mirrors, ambient occlusion, screen space reflections, texture streaming, vehicle reflections, weather effects, ground cover, dynamic hair and skidmarks. NVIDIA has not included any SLI profile for this title, meaning that the GTX690 behaved similarly to a GTX680.Ĭodemasters has included a wealth amount of graphics settings to tweak.

As such, it’s time now to see how this title performs on the PC platform.įor this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i7 4930K (overclocked at 4.2Ghz) with 8GB RAM, AMD’s Radeon RX580, NVIDIA’s GTX980Ti and GTX690, Windows 10 64-bit and the latest version of the GeForce and Catalyst drivers.

As with all previous F1 games, F1 2017 is powered by the EGO Engine and even though Deep Silver had provided us with a review code a couple of weeks ago, we decided to delay our article as both NVIDIA and AMD planned to release specific drivers for it. Codemasters and Deep Silver have just released F1 2017 on the PC.
