💡 Assetto Corsa: Reflections and shadows are the heavy hitters; resolution scale matters most for the high, steady FPS sim racing needs.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Render resolution scaling is the biggest GPU-side FPS lever — important for hitting the high, steady frame rates sim racing (and VR) needs.
Reflection Resolution / FrequencyLow+11% FPS
The cubemap reflections on your car. One of the heaviest settings — lowering the resolution and update frequency is a big, barely-noticeable gain while driving.
Shadow ResolutionLow+10% FPS
Shadow detail trackside. High is a strong step down from Ultra with little visible loss at speed.
World DetailLow+9% FPS
Trackside objects and crowds. Costly, and you blow past most of it at racing speed.
Mirror ResolutionLow+6% FPS
How sharp your mirrors render. Medium is fine for race awareness and saves frames.
Smoke GenerationOff+5% FPS
Tyre smoke detail. Drops most during heavy braking and drifts — lower it if those moments stutter.
Anti-AliasingOff+5% FPS
Smooths jagged edges — important for distant track edges. Lower a notch if you need frames.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. Fine at High on most cards.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps the track surface sharp into the distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
