Those interested can access the DX12 branch by following this guide. This will be especially interesting for our AMD GPUs as there was a pretty big DX11 driver overhead that caused the Radeon RX Vega 64 to under-perform in our test system. We’ll be sure to test this DX12 beta build soon so stay tuned for a comparison article between DX11 and DX12. Codemasters claimed that while some high-end/hi-res setups may be faster with the DX12 version, other configurations may be slower. The most recent Codemasters F1 game finds itself firmly in mid-table in this list, but their 2018 entry was a solid game that gives us optimism going into 2019. Now since this is still a beta, there are some bugs/issues that have not been resolved yet. PC gamers can go ahead and download the beta build for F1 2018 DX12 from Steam.

According to the developers, this new DX12 version changes the way some parts of the game engine work, and particularly the graphics code.

Codemasters has released a DX12 beta build for F1 2018.
