F1 2020 Laptop and Desktop Benchmarks

After the dusty graphics of the F1 Series was criticized many times, F1 2020 is visually up to date. In addition to the detailed vehicles, the (formerly quite sterile) routes can finally convince. So now you can discover significantly more decorative objects, which in combination with the spectators and the race marshals etc. create a harmonious atmosphere. There is also little to complain about when it comes to the textures, although of course there is still some room for improvement. We particularly liked the weather system. In the rain you want to literally clear the screen of drops.

If you exclude the fact that some settings require a restart (fortunately the intro videos can be skipped), the graphics settings also deserve praise. Because of the sheer amount, Codemasters has divided the options into two menus - as with its predecessors. While the video tab takes care of things like resolution (optionally dynamic), VSync, anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering and HDR, various quality settings are waiting in the advanced tab. If desired, these can be conveniently controlled using a preset.

However, we would recommend that the developers revise the general menu structure. To reach some functions, an unnecessarily large number of clicks are necessary. Other racing games like Dirt Rally 2.0 and Grid prove that Codemasters can do better. 

F1 2020 ran very stable in the test without a single crash. Only when using non-native resolutions did the title mess about (only window mode possible). A restart often helped here. Positive: With a download size of around 26 GB, F1 2020 takes up very little space for a current game.
