F1 24
F1 24 performs well across PlayStation 5 hardware, offering strong performance in both 60fps Quality and 120Hz Performance modes. On the base PS5, Quality mode runs between 1800p and 4K with ray tracing restricted to replays and menus. The PS5 Pro upgrade provides a substantial upgrade by enabling full gameplay ray tracing (reflections, ambient occlusion, and DDGI) locked at 60fps through PSSR reconstruction from 1080p-1440p. PS5 Pro also upgrades 120Hz Performance mode to a cleaner static 1440p outputting at 4K, alongside an optional 8K mode for supported displays.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5 Pro
PS5 Pro provides a notable visual upgrade for F1 24 by bringing PC-grade ray tracing features into active 60fps gameplay using PSSR. The 120Hz Performance mode sees increased visual clarity, while a new 8K mode provides extreme detail on compatible televisions.
Adds three gameplay ray tracing features (reflections, ambient occlusion, DDGI) at 60fps via PSSR upscaling in Quality mode, boosts Performance mode to static 1440p at 120Hz via TAAU, and adds an 8K output mode.
Performance Mode
PS5 ProOutputs at 4K using TAAU from a dynamic, mostly static 1440p internal resolution. Uses planar reflections and cube maps.
Resolution Mode (8K)
PS5 ProRenders at native 4K and upscales to 8K via TAAU. Retains DDGI features.
Quality Mode
PS5 ProFeatures RT reflections, RTAO, and DDGI during gameplay. Reconstructs dynamic 1080p-1440p internal resolution to 4K using PSSR.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
The standard PS5 handles F1 24 reliably across two main modes: a dynamic 1800p-4K Quality mode at 60fps and a dynamic 1080p-1440p Performance mode at 120Hz. Ray tracing is absent during actual gameplay in Quality mode, relying instead on screen-space reflections.
Performance Mode
PS5Renders with dynamic resolution scaling between 1080p and 1440p.
Quality Mode
PS5Uses screen-space reflections during gameplay. Ray tracing is restricted to cutscenes and replays.
PS5 vs PS5 Pro
Side-by-side comparison of graphics modes, resolution and technical features.
PS5 Pro provides a substantial upgrade over the base console by bringing three ray tracing features (reflections, ambient occlusion, and DDGI) into 60fps gameplay using PSSR upscaling. It also enhances the 120Hz performance mode image quality with a clearer 1440p base resolution and adds an optional 8K mode.

Known issues
Starting grid at Monaco circuit in heavy rain with full AI pack causes a brief drop to 58fps with screen tearing.
Entering pitstops during 120Hz performance mode triggers brief frame rate drops down to 115fps with screen tearing.
Pre-race sequences and replays target 40fps but frequently waver into the mid-30s with noticeable screen tearing.
Ray-traced cutscenes, pre-race build-ups, and replays experience severe performance drops into the 20-40fps range accompanied by full-screen tearing.
The Quality RT mode on PS5 Pro shows image instability compared to base PS5 Quality mode, attributed to PSSR limitations and ray tracing noise.
