Assetto Corsa I need help achieving stable 60FPS

[silversleeper484]

Hello Everyone, can someone help me out with my Graphics Settings I have attached screenshots of my AC in-game settings and posted my Computer Specs below. I am trying to run a Stable 60 FPS, and not getting it to run stable. I've been testing all kinds of different settings and just can not get it dialed in. Sometimes I get 60 to 61 FPS, and in the middle of a Race or Practice Laps it can drop down to the 30's FPS, 40's FPS and 50's and then back up to 60's and 61 FPS. I have posted a screenshot of my AC in-game settings and Listed my Computer Specs below. So If someone could take a look and analyze my data and make some suggestions I would appreciate it. Also what would be great if someone is running a very similar set-up as me that has achieved a smooth 60FPS that would be awesome.

I wrote a post about graphics settings a while ago: http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/running-ac-silky-smooth-on-mid-end-pcs.131020/

Then I suggest:
MSAA: 4x --> OFF or 2x at that resolution is more than enough
Reflection resolution: 512x512 --> can be turned as low as you can
Rendering Frequency: Six face per frame (No Clue What this does) ---> definitely OFF

Depth of field: Low ---> OFF looks better (imho) and gives more fps
Saturation 118% ---> why so high? Why not 100%?

Hello Giovaneveterano, Rendering Frequency does not have an "off" option it only has Static. Should I put it on Static?

Depth of field: Low ---> OFF looks better (imho) and gives more fps
Saturation 118% ---> why so high? Why not 100%

I have no idea why Saturation is set to 118%, but I turned it down to your recommendation of 100%. I've been tinkering with all of these settings for months now, so I had to come here and get expert help. Thanks Tim

 

[Giovaneveterano]

Yep, Rendering Frequency on STATIC.

Hello Giovaneveterano,

Thank-you again for your settings. WOW HUGE IMPROVEMENT. Just did a trackday at Watkins Glen Boot with 24 cars and stable 60-61 FPS. Everything looks amazing

Turn off fxaa as well, ut just makes the game blurry, and if you have anti aliasing on it should be off already

Hello Nabila, Do you have or know where I can find a screenshot or video of the Install/unzip to the root of AC Install folder to run the JSGME? This kind of mod I have never done before. I know how to down load car and track mods, but this one I have no idea how to do.

*To install: Unzip to the root of your AC install folder, run JSGME and activate Natural Weather and optionally Ben Lee + WagnumPI Clouds

Hello Matheus, I just checked your recommendations, but I could not find the ant aliasing mode to turn off in the AC Content Manager, however, it is set to off in the Assetto Corsa Original Game launcher under video settings. Also, there are Anti aliasing settings in my Graphics Card settings. I have attached a screen shot

It is the fxaa tick box. It is already off in your settings.
