Best Assetto Corsa Competizione settings for the NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 4GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Assetto Corsa Competizione runs at roughly 32 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 13FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 960M (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Assetto Corsa Competizione is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 32 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 13 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 32 FPS at 1080p and 19 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 11 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

🚀 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 lever — vital for the high, steady FPS sim racing (and VR) needs.

Shadow QualityLow+12% FPS

ACC (Unreal Engine 4) is notoriously shadow-heavy. Dropping from Epic to Medium is one of the biggest gains with little visible loss at speed.

Mirror Quality / ResolutionLow+10% FPS

How sharp and how often your mirrors render. Medium is fine for race awareness and frees up a lot of frames.

Opponent VisibilityLow+8% FPS

How many cars are drawn around you — leans on the CPU in a full pack. Lower it if the start of a race stutters.

Effects / Smoke QualityLow+7% FPS

Tyre smoke and spray. Drops most during heavy braking and in the wet — lower it if those moments dip.

Foliage QualityLow+6% FPS

Trackside grass and trees. You blow past most of it — Medium is invisible at racing speed.

Anti-AliasingOff+5% FPS

Smooths jagged edges — important for distant track limits and curbs. Lower a notch if you need frames.

Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS

Surface detail — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
