Best Assetto Corsa settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5070 (laptop, 8GB) (2026)
On a NVIDIA RTX 5070 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Assetto Corsa runs at roughly 162 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 162FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 5070 (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Assetto Corsa is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it flies at 1080p — about 162 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 162 FPS at 1080p and 113 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 64 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

CPU-bound: in Assetto Corsa, a Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU caps you near 162 FPSregardless of graphics settings — lowering them won't raise your frame rate much here.
💡 Assetto Corsa: Reflections and shadows are the heavy hitters; resolution scale matters most for the high, steady FPS sim racing needs.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
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.
What FPS does the NVIDIA RTX 5070 (laptop, 8GB) get in Assetto Corsa?

What are the best Assetto Corsa settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5070 (laptop, 8GB)?
Use a balanced preset, keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Reflection Resolution / Frequency and Shadow Resolution down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
