F1 23 represents a huge technical upgrade - but do the new RT features make a difference? Here's the digitalfoundry analysis:
The release of Codemaster's F1 23 gives us the most complete version of the series to date, with an upgraded version of its in-house EGO Engine and the return of the fan-favourite Braking Point story mode. The game also includes more ray tracing features, as this year dynamic diffuse global illumination is added on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Series S and PC.
There's also a 120Hz performance mode, which appears only on PS5 and Series X. This drops the target resolution to 1440p, with the internal resolution dropping down to 720p at worst. In exchange though, you get a locked 120fps experience during the race itself which is great for competitive play if you can abide the lack of visual clarity.
In the here and now, the only route to RT during gameplay is on PC. I tested the PC edition with a high-end system, powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU and an Nvidia RTX 4080 graphics card. Despite this surfeit of power, this configuration isn't quite capable of delivering a locked 60fps with all RT features engaged at native 4K, instead ending up around the 50fps mark during the run of play at a rainy Monaco.
Here are direct RT on/off comparisons from the PC build. SSR provides near-identical results to RT reflections in some spots, while in others RT offers a suitable upgrade in realism. Click to expand. Finally, DDGI gives us ray-traced light bounce between surfaces, helping to light the corners of rooms and reflect points of colour between two nearby surfaces. Again, like the other RT techniques this appears only outside of gameplay for the console editions, while on PC it can be enabled throughout. The impact is quite subtle in my experience, perhaps being most obvious in menus and vehicle showrooms.
