F1 23 is a racing video game developed by Codemasters and published by EA Sports. It is the sixteenth entry in the F1 series by Codemasters. It holds the official licence for the 2023 Formula One and Formula 2 championships. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Linux (through Valve's Proton compatibility layer) on 16 June 2023. (Wikipedia).

Engine: EGO. We test using the Ultra High preset, High ray tracing quality, DXR API. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

F1 23, on the other hand, is eminently playable on the RX 7800 XT, even with all RT effects set to their highest quality levels. At 1080p for instance, the 7800 XT averages 75 FPS and is just 7% slower than the RTX 4070. It seems RDNA 3 scales much better than RDNA 2 here as well, with the 7800 XT 17% faster than the RX 6800 XT.
