Best Assetto Corsa settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3050 (laptop, 4GB) (2026)
On a NVIDIA RTX 3050 (laptop, 4GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Assetto Corsa runs at roughly 75 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 56FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 3050 (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Assetto Corsa is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 75 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 56 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 75 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 46 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 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 DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSQuality+35% 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 / FrequencyHighbaseline
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 ResolutionHighbaseline
Shadow detail trackside. High is a strong step down from Ultra with little visible loss at speed.
World DetailHighbaseline
Trackside objects and crowds. Costly, and you blow past most of it at racing speed.
Mirror ResolutionHighbaseline
How sharp your mirrors render. Medium is fine for race awareness and saves frames.
Smoke GenerationMediumbaseline
Tyre smoke detail. Drops most during heavy braking and drifts — lower it if those moments stutter.
Anti-AliasingMediumbaseline
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.
